Alterations & Reworking
A little change can make something feel entirely new.
Clothing should feel good to wear and feel like you. Whether it's a small adjustment to a favorite piece or a creative reworking of something already in your closet, I offer personalized sewing services with care and attention to detail.
What I offer
Alterations
Small adjustments to help your clothing fit and feel better. Depending on the garment, this may include:
- Hemming and length adjustments
- Taking in or adjusting waistbands
- Strap and fit adjustments
- Minor repairs and finishing
Reworking & Restyling
Give an existing garment a new look or a second life. This may include:
- Reshaping or changing a garment's silhouette
- Turning larger garments into something new
- Adding or adjusting details
- Creative alterations using existing fabric and materials
Every garment and project is different, so availability will depend on construction, fabric, and changes requested.
The process
1. Get in touch
Send an inquiry with a description of what you'd like done, along with a few photos of the garment. If possible, include the changes you're hoping to make and any inspiration photos you have.
2. Let's discuss
I'll review your request and get back to you with any questions, an estimated price, and an expected timeframe. Some projects may require an in-person fitting or a closer look at the garment before a final quote can be provided.
3. The making
Once the details are confirmed, I'll get to work! Each project is handled individually, with care given to the garment and the details that make it yours.
4. Ready for you
Once your piece is finished, we'll arrange a pickup or delivery. Then it's ready for another chapter in your closet!
