Clothing alterations

Clothing Alterations

Ill-fitting clothes never feel good. When your clothes fit you perfectly, you not only look fabulous, you feel amazing too. Whether you need your clothes made bigger or smaller or just adjusted a little, The Sewing Shed can help.

Sometimes you can be a size 12 bust and a size 10 waist and hip. Slight adjustments can make all the difference and make that shirt, skirt or dress look just right.

Maybe all you need is a re-hem to a length that suits your height. Whatever your needs, we can make it work.

Mending

Need a new zip? Or maybe seams repaired. Do your jeans need patching, or fasteners replaced? The Sewing Shed is the place to come.

If money is going missing from your pocket, or your keys have disappeared you may need a repair to your pockets.

Or maybe you just have your favourite item that’s just not as young a sit used to be. Bring it in. You’d be amazed what can be repaired.

Remodelling or recycling outdated clothes

Do you have an item with fabric you love but a style which is just not right? Remodelling is the way to go.

Did you spend a fortune on a dress you wore to a wedding once and can’t bare to throw out but no longer like the style? Remodel it.

Remodelling is a budget and environmentally friendly way of using your too-good-to-throw-out clothing. Changing a collar or putting in a placket can make all the difference and create an outfit you love.

It depends on the what and how complex the alteration is. Sometimes special notions need to be ordered and/or supplies waited on. A 1 to 2 week turn around on small items is the usual, unless an item is urgent, such as hemming trousers for a wedding.
