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. My services also include sweater repairs and reknitting.

BASIC TAILORING

I can help with most clothing alterations with the exception of wedding dresses and narrowing jacket shoulders or reshaping jacket necklines.

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!

PROCESS + POLICIES

  • Please contact me if you have questions or would like more information. Contact me here or email me at frayedthreadsmending@gmail.com

  • Please be sure to freshly washed items before alterations or mending. An additional $5 will be charged for each unwashed item. If you're concerned about further damaging your item just try your best  to spot clean any particularly dirty areas. If your items has moth damage please either clean it, store it in your freezer for 72 hours or place in a very low oven (at least 120 degrees F). This will kill any moth larvae or eggs so none are transferred to other people's items.

  • Drop off items at my studio in north east Seattle, WA. Book an appointment here.

    • Pick-up service can be provided for an additional cost within the Seattle area.

    • If you're outside the Seattle area and would like to mail your package, contact me and we can make arrangements.

  • Typical lead time is two to three weeks, depending on my current workload. I will provide an estimated completion date at the time of your drop-off and I will email you when it's complete. If your project requires a turn around of one week or less I can sometimes accommodate this. There is a 30% additional fee for rush orders.

  • Payment to be made when you pick up your item. Cash, check or credit card are accepted.

​

Note:

  • My studio is in my home, where we have a dog and cats. Please let me know if you have sensitivities. While I do my best to keep the animals away from customer's garments there may trace dander or hair.

  • Please contact me if you are unsatisfied with your service in any way. We can discuss options on how best to resolve the issue.
