Kay
Learned through generations of my family, I have been a skilled seamstress for the past 25 years. I can repair, alter, re-size all types of clothes. After years of experience on many different projects and building my sewing space, I have set up my own business from home in my garden workshop.
My workshop has a seating area, as well as a changing area, which means its suitable for you, (or for example a bridal party) to try on clothes and feel comfortable with what you need altered before it is made. I can give you that extra time and attention in a way that bigger companies cannot.
