Sewing Services
Personalised Embroidery
$20 base fee + $2.50 per letter.
Bring me an item of your choosing, such as a bag, hat, jumper, or blanket, and I will hand-embroider a name on it for you.
-
Yes! Send me a screenshot of the name in your chosen font.
https://fonts.google.com/ is a good resource for this.
-
You can choose a colour from my stash, or you can buy your preferred embroidery floss elsewhere and give it to me.
(I’ll give you a $5 discount if you BYO embroidery floss.)
-
Yes, but it will require some extra care. Place it in a delicates bag before putting it in the washing machine, and run it on a gentle cycle.
Machine wash it sparingly to maximise its longevity. Spot clean by hand in between machine washes.
Hemming
Pricing starts at $30 per garment for a double fold hem.
Garments with more than 1.5m of fabric to hem (eg: a full skirt, or a garment with a lining) will incur an additional $7 per metre after the first 1.5m.
Garments requiring an invisible hem (eg: suit pants) are $40 due to the hand stitching involved.
-
I specialise in natural fibres such as cotton and linen.
I do not offer hemming for denim jeans, formalwear dresses, or very stretchy fabrics. -
Ideally, yes.
Fabrics can shrink after their first wash, so you want that shrinkage to occur before any sewing work. -
I will match the appearence of the existing hem. For example, if your dress has a 5cm wide hem, I will replicate that width when I sew the new hem.
Workmanship guarantee
I stand behind my work. If something I’ve sewn comes undone under normal wear, bring it back and I’ll happily fix it at no cost.
Booking request
Please allow for a two week turnaround. I may complete your job sooner, but as a stay-at-home-mum this window ensures I can balance home and work sustainably.
