MENDING

Repairing, mending and darning well loved clothes and textiles. I can help extend the life of your favorite sweater, grandmother's quilt or those jeans that you just can't buy anymore.

BASIC TAILORING

Currently I'm offering basic tailoring services such as adjusting hems, adding or extending pockets, or other simple alterations. I hope to expand these services over time.

REFASHIONING

Have a skirt or shirt that you love, but it no longer fits the same? Or an amazing scarf that you just don't wear? I can help come up with creative ideas to rethink these items to make them into something new!
