Morning everyone,

Oh dear!!

A quick update.

I had an operation on my hand yesterday day that is taking me off sewing duties until the 20th April. A bit of a blow as I love my work and will miss it.

That said I am very happy to receive phone calls for appointments and although I can not pin or use my hand I am happy to give prices in person and book in for when I’m back up and running.

I can accommodate any completion dates from the beginning of May , so May weddings etc all can be done.

Look forward to hearing from all my lovely clients soon.

I’m a seamstress that loves her skill and enjoys her work. Happy to tackle most things a seamstress would do -for you, your home your pets!!! Cover for a dog bed anyone???? Favourite toy for dog or child need TLC? Ripped horse rug ? Garden seat pads need a new zip?
I can’t do what a cobbler would do as they are awesome and have different machines to me. Also not many around and wouldn’t stand on their toes.
Please make sure items are clean especially pet items.
Please call or message , don’t leave a message here.

I offer very flexible appointment slots and I am happy to come to you if that is easier for you.

A shirt that was bought at a country fair was not how the wearer wanted it to look but as it was too big it was purchased the owner knew that something could be done......... so from a frumpy 1/2 button shirt to a tailored fitted shirt. From a size 14 to 8. A very happy client.
