The SOS Seamstress

08/09/2022

After an extremely busy year of wedding outfits and last minute SOS alterations, I’ve made the decision to close my sewing doors for a while as the demands of my full time job have made it difficult to take on new work.

So I’d like to thank everyone for your support and encouragement, it’s been wonderful!

In the mean time… dust off that sewing machine you have in the loft and just sew, you won’t look back!

My goodness you can tell it’s wedding season here at the SOS Seamstress HQ! I have well and truly earned my SOS name fixing some desperate last minute wedding outfit issues 🔥💗

So to let off some steam, I thought I’d sew up some super cute Halloween themed bits for the kiddies. Is it too soon??!! 🤣🧙👻🦖

For all your clothing alterations, repairs and upcycles drop me a message and make your fav items just the way you want them. 👌🥰

What to do with those T-shirts you love but you no longer wear. One option is a quilt of course! All those favourite bands and tours preserved in this patchwork keepsake. This one is in the early stages, working out the placements.
