Affordable Clothing Alterations
Repairs. Hemming.
Better Fit. Body Positive.
Budget Friendly.
Everyone deserves clothing that fits their body and an alterations experience where they feel welcome, respected, and comfortable.
My sewing journey began with #sewbadsewmad, a space where I learn, experiment, and share my love of sewing. Along the way, I have started helping friends and community members with alterations and repairs. I have always wanted to create a space that is welcoming where no one should feel shy or scared to have clothes fit their bodies, and honor them for who they are in the present moment.
Body Positive. Budget Friendly. Boston Based.
