1st 4 Sewing

23/02/2026

Hello everyone,
Cathy from 1st 4 Sewing here with an update.
Thank you for the support you've given me—whether it was alterations, custom work, repairs, soft furnishings, or sewing lessons. It's been good working with you and helping with your projects.
My other business, 1st 4 Care (senior support and NDIS services), has grown steadily and takes most of my time now. To give it the attention it needs, I'm temporarily closing 1st 4 Sewing.
This isn't forever—I'll see how things go—but for the foreseeable future, no new sewing work.
Thanks again for your understanding. If you or someone you know needs senior care or NDIS support, feel free to contact me about 1st 4 Care.
Take care,
Cathy Macfarlane

Hi everyone, I’m Cathy, and I’m thrilled to share my two passion-driven businesses with our wonderful community! You might’ve heard of 1st 4 Seniors and 1st 4 Sewing—here’s a quick note to clarify what each offers, so there’s no confusion!
1st 4 Seniors is dedicated to supporting our St Helens seniors with non-clinical care—think companionship, transport, tech help, moving support, or tailored daily tasks. I’m fully insured and vetted, ensuring peace of mind for you and your loved ones. Visit https://www.1st4seniors.com/ or call me to learn more!
1st 4 Sewing is my mobile sewing service, offering alterations, custom designs, soft furnishings, and sewing lessons for all skill levels. Got a quick fix or a creative project? I’ve got you covered! Check out https://www.1st4sewing.com/ for details.
Both businesses are run by me as a sole trader in St Helens, each with its own focus but the same heart—helping our community with practical assistance. Have questions or want to chat about your needs? Drop me a message, call, or email me. I’d love to help!

Our decision to move signifies a new chapter in our journey. While it's unfortunate that we can't continue serving our current customers at our existing location, we see this as an opportunity to explore new horizons.

This customer's dress, made over 9 years ago is still going strong. Classic design, quality fabric and construction equals slow fashion.

Restoring this heritage, possum skin, knee blanket was an unusual but fun job.

What a lovely review from Alex....

"Very very happy!
1st 4 Sewing made up a custom mattress protector for my rooftop campers. Nothing but professional and friendly throughout the whole process. Highly recommended 👌."
