My aim is to provide an affordable alterations and repair service to the local area to ensure well-fitting garments, effective window treatments, and best use of factory-made goods for as long as the material will hold. Due to natural wear and tear, some repairs may come undone just like the original seam from the manufacturer; should this be the case, further repair will be discounted or free. Items can be pinned or pegged to length at home and dropped off. Alternatively, fitting can be done here by prior arrangement at a time to suit you. ABN holder, tax invoices available, current public liability insured, smoke free home, flexible drop-off and pick-up times, one indoor cat who hides a lot and does not join me on sewing adventures. Family friendly – we have children and yours are welcome too!

Blind hems are used for trousers, formal skirts and some fashion items for a hem without a visible line of stitches.

Why do they cost more?

To shorten a garment and replicate a blind hem, there's some extra unpicking, measuring, over-edging, folding, pressing, pinning, and finally, stitching.

Happy to sort out your garments to fit you :-)
