Sewing and Alteration Services
Your beloved garments deserve a second life restored with care, precision, and a personal touch. From subtle fixes to transformative adjustments, every stitch is placed with intention.
Need your garment altered quickly?
I offer a limited number of express appointments for urgent alterations and repairs.
Please text me and I will get back to you as soon as I can.
Due to other work commitments I cannot answer calls.
Please note that express services carry an additional charge depending on the complexity of the work and the required turnaround time.
A minimum express service charge of £10 applies. Next-day and same-day alterations may incur a surcharge of up to 50% for more complex work.
