When you have that beloved item which time has worn small holes of the thread bear spots, that’s where I come in. Not everything can be saved. And all mending will likely have some bit which is noticeable. It’s always worth a shot though.
Wednesday nights, 5p-9p, come meet me at and let’s see if I can help you fix up your favorite shirt!

After a 2 Wednesday break, I will be back at the kingpinnola this evening.
Mending, tailoring, questions of if something can be fixed, reattaching buttons, zipper replacements and general questions regarding sewing.
I look forward to seeing you this evening. 😊
Cheers,
Cathy

Hi there folk! I should have posted this earlier, but our Pop Up at Kingpin will be canceled for this week and next. I've got a position working at Jazz Fest and will be working the festival, leaving me no time to focus on your items. If I have your items, I have already let you know there's a shop pause for the next two weeks.

I'll be back at The Kingpin for our weekly sewing/mending pop up in May. In the mean time, Enjoy New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival! Eat all the food! Dance at all the stages! I'll see you again in a couple weeks! Photo of my office manager, Arty for the instagram.

Pins and Pints, tonight at Kingpin!
This week I will have my machine with me, and will do what I can to mend your items while you enjoy a beverage at the bar.
I will be set up from 5pm to 9pm.
Now’s the time to fix up your Festing Gear in preparation for Festival Season!

See you tonight!
Cathy

This is a big stack of various projects I’ve worked on in the past few months.
Contact me and see if I can extreme the life of that you have.

Sew, what is the point of Pins and Pints night Wednesdays at 5-9pm? Extend the life of your garments.
Zipper pull busted? Let’s swap the zipper pull.
Got a tear in your favorite dress shirt? Let’s patch it with something fun.
Wore out the seat of your jeans? I can help with that.
Pricing is determined by the level of complication and time it will take for me to fix it.
I will also hem your pants and dresses as well. Let’s rework the neckline on the dress that fits great but isn’t quite right.
Mending and reworking garments is an age old tradition, let’s keep it going.
If it’s outside my skill or ability, I will happily provide names of sewists better suited to what needs done.

🧵🪡 Make Deaux and Mend, aka me- Cathy, is here to help you.
