Repairs and Alterations

Short on time?  Don’t know how to sew?  Would rather not? 
Bring me your mending pile!  

I can usually complete a job in one or two days if you need it quickly. 

Some things I can do:

Hemming/letting down hems on skirts, pants

Repairing ripped seams

Make holes disappear!

Fix rips or snags in knit hats, sweaters

Replacing or tightening buttons

Adjusting sleeve length or necklines

Adding slips, kickpleats to skirts

Sew on patches

Sew closed wrap dresses, skirts

Some surprising things or things you may not have thought of…

-Did you lose weight?  I reduce size of shirts, waistbands, sleeves, etc.

-Replace an uncomfortable waistband for more comfortable type

-hem or extend a tablecloth

-mend towels, sheets, blankets

*Please ask me about custom work or see my page on this website with examples of custom and speciality sewing work*

Good to know for customers

-Drop off/pick up anytime at my house

-Pick-up, drop-off, and supply shopping service available for a fee

-I offer complimentary fittings and consultations.  Also, if a problem appears in something I worked on, you can bring it back for free repair within a limited time frame with normal use, as deemed reasonable.  I want you to never have to worry about that problem in your garment again!  

-If you provide the thread for your garment (even the little baggie of extra that comes attached to garment) it will expedite the job and ensure that I have the closest color match possible.  Otherwise I will probably be able to use one of my almost 100 spools of thread in all colors of the rainbow on your repair.  If I buy it I will probably not charge you because I will keep it for future use.

-Regarding significant alterations- Be cautious about buying garments that will need significant alterations.  While garments can be taken apart, cut down or lengthened and then reassembled, that is a very major renovation which may not be worth your money in the end.

-I can do custom work for a flat rate, or at an hourly rate, plus cost of materials

-I like to offer very quick turn-around time on completing a job, but sometimes this is not available.  I will give you my best estimate and work within your requested time frame, or let you know before taking the job

snagged yarn looks so unseemly, but can be repaired to perfection!)
