Sewing repairs & alterations
​
All your repairs and alterations carried out by a
professional seamstress.
​
​
I am currently employed as a seamstress & Wardrobe manager.
I no longer take on dress making or other larger commissions, mainly because I don't have the time, but I am happy to do the smaller jobs, such as replacing a zip, shortening a garment, taking garments in, repairing damage, sewing on cub/beaver badges.
I would rather see clothes repaired and reused than sent to landfill. I keep my prices reasonable, but realistic dependant on the work involved.
Please feel to contact me if you feel my services would be of help to you.
