Get more use out of your clothing! Repairs can be easier and more affordable than you think. Why waste time shopping for new clothes that might fit when you can repair the pieces you already own?

Message me about your needs today!!

Did you know that I have a website? I even have a page listing the approximate cost of each alteration.

And she's back!!

Had to take her in to Val with Century Textile and Sewing Supply for repairs last week. I wrecked the timing when sewing the heavy-duty canvas bag. While i did try to repair her myself (with very helpful youtube videos), it was just out of my expertise.

Tonight ill be trying her out on some lighter duty things - like clothing! 😅

I wanted to send a huge THANK YOU to everyone that shares my page, interacts with posts or recommends me to their friends and family.

It helps a lot and I am extremely grateful when I hear that someone was so happy with my work that they want to share their experience with others. It's always been a struggle to cautiously stretch the social network when you do this from your home's basement.

The last two weeks I was asked to help transform this lovely grad dress into something more of a two piece.

We collaborated and decided to remove the lining skirt portion to more of a shirt length and sculpted the sheer fabric to show the legs similar to a hi-lo dress. Took in the bodice about 4 inches and added removeable, adjustable spaghetti straps.

Our grad was very happy with the alterations and excited for her up coming graduation.

🎓🎓🎓Congratulations Kam!.

Recently I was given the task of replacing the zippers that broke in this work bag. Taking the zippers out was the easy and fun part. Putting them back in.... well that was a LOT trickier. Maneuvering this stiff padded bag around my industrial machine was complicated but we got it done!

I completely forgot to take a finished picture so please enjoy the pictures I did remember to take lol.

Last week I took on a very well loved bomber style jacket. They saw further potential in the jacket and asked me to replace the black sleeve sections that had been shredded over time.

So I got to work taking the sleeves apart to make copies from similar fabric I found at fabricland. Sewed it all back together as closely to the original construction as possible.

Last picture is the end result. I think we gave this jacket a few more years of wear!

What do you think??

Happy May the Fourth!!

Recently, i realized i havent been posted pictures of my alterations! So here are a couple of zippers i replaced for a friend.

When they first came to me, each zipper would separate half way up or down.

Ripping out zippers is honestly so fun 😆

Wishing everyone at Calgary Comic and Entertainment Expo an AMAZING time.

Show me your cosplays!!

I have an abundance of time on my hands now and would like to take on some alterations to occupy my time. If you have alterations or clothing repairs that need to be dealt with either before summer or (heaven forbid) next winter; hit me up, I am available!! Tell your friends - Tell your family!

Rates are very reasonable and turn around time can be surprisingly quick. (unless the sads break thru and then all is lost).

Real talk. I was laid off from my job two weeks ago. While I go on the job hunt and wait for EI to kick in; I am going to make the most of a crummy situation and explore the potential of doing costuming and alterations full time.
