Altered By Amy

Altered By Amy Altered By Amy provides high quality professional alterations. Amy Clark Rine is an expert seamstress with 25,000 hours of sewing experience.

Those hours began when she learned how to do hand sewing before kindergarten. At age six, Amy inherited a ‘real’ Singer Featherweight sewing machine from her great aunt Daisy and the story goes on. She participated in 10 years of 4-H, went to college for fashion merchandising, sewed for two children and then worked in the home décor and toy industry for 14 years. So you could say, sewing was a per

sonal addiction for Amy. At other times, she managed the sewing process professionally. Too many projects to count, three patents and many products later, she still loves sewing. Currently, Amy does product development projects for small companies, photography samples, mini-production runs, sewing classes AND alterations. Amy has done so much sewing; alterations come easy to her. Amy is a perfectionist and very practical. She believes “all things are possible, all things are fixable”. As the customer, you get to decide. She is located in Newark, Ohio and serves customers in Licking, Franklin, Knox, Coshocton and Perry counties.

Next up… Homecoming! 👗
Homecoming season happens fast, and September 26th is already almost full with just a few appointment spots remaining.

How do we control layers and layers of net?

Very carefully. 😂 One layer at a time.

There’s no shortcut when you’re working with this much volume—just patience, precision, and a whole lot of net!

Some weddings are beautiful… and some look like they stepped straight out of a fairytale. 🌿✨

A quiet ceremony tucked into the woods, soft summer light filtering through the trees, wildflowers in shades of lavender and green—and a bride in a gown that looked absolutely made for this setting.

The romantic lace, flowing skirt and those dreamy sleeves gave the dress so much movement. And seeing it twirl on the dance floor? Perfection. 👰

This is exactly why I love seeing wedding photos after the alterations are finished. I get to see the dress in my fitting room—but this is where it was meant to be.
A little woodland magic and a beautiful happily ever after. 🌲💜

You’ll be happy to know Gracie didn’t go on strike… she was just on vacation. 😂

And she’s apparently happy to be back—especially since she returned to a brand-new track light! 💡✂️

Thanks, Kevin. You may have officially saved the seamstress from going on strike. 😂

BASIC ALTERATIONS UPDATE 🪡
New basic alterations turnaround time will be NOVEMBER 3RD or later.

We are still happy to accept basic alterations, but as we work through an exceptionally busy bridal and formal season, our current turnaround time has been extended.

This includes hems, zippers, repairs, pants, everyday clothing, and other basic alterations.

Thank you so much for your patience and understanding while we give our already-scheduled fall brides and formalwear customers the time and attention they deserve. 💙

What’s the hardest part of my job?

It’s not the lace.
It’s not the beading.
It’s not even figuring out how to bustle 12 layers of tulle.

It’s remembering everyone’s NAME. 😂

Madison. Maddie.
Kaylen. Kayla.
Makayla. Michaela.
Ashton. Ashley.

And somehow… you’re all on my schedule in the same week. 🤦‍♀️😂

If I look you straight in the eyes with a blank stare, please know I absolutely know who you are—and my brain remembers every single detail of your dress. It’s just your name that has temporarily left the building. 😂

Teachers, you know EXACTLY what I mean. 😂

I’d love to travel back in time for just one lunch hour at Jerry’s Fabrics. ❤️

I spent so many lunch breaks there looking through the fabric and notions. Jerry always kept me up to date on the newest fashion trends coming out of New York City.

And my absolute favorite? The button cabinet. I could look through those little drawers forever.

Funny how one old ad can bring back so many memories.

Who else remembers Jerry’s Fabrics?
