About Me
A little about myself. From the age of 10, I discovered sewing machines and many hours were spent teaching myself to sew, making and adjusting garments.
My elective subjects at high school were Clothing and Textiles, and as a teenager I made all my own clothes.
Everything I know about garment sewing construction I learnt in the mid 80's during an apprenticeship as a seamstress / dressmaker in Auckland.
Many years followed in production work always doing full garment construction. I have done contracting work for well known labels including cutting and producing requested samples.
My experience also includes making curtains for stages and theatres.
I have a Diploma in Applied Fashion Design and Merchandising.
Further experience ranges from bridal wear to shade sails, canvas and vinyl products, leather, curtains and soft furnishings.
Previously I owned a Clothing alteration business for 7 years of which I specialized in men's suit tailoring & did so for local menswear retail stores.
I have recently been pattern creating/grading with CAD programs.
I am in possession of a wide range of commercial industrial sewing machines capable of small run manufacturing
Sewing has been my life and I feel I am a very confident and capable seamstress.
Alterations
We do alterations and offer a "Same Day Hem" service.
You can bring in your garment explaining the changes required etc or we can help assist with pinning & measurements, however fitting fees can apply.
Formal event wear will require you to bring the shoes so the hem line can be accurately marked.
We do bridal, however refrain from hand sewing of beads & apppiques etc
Repairs
​In general we do not do repairs although we will do zip replacements. Please test your zip on pick-up as we do not accept returns.
Some repairs we will consider e.g. broken seams.
We do not do mending, darning or any kind of hand sewing
Made To Order
We can make to order but we do prefer to work off existing patterns and make adjustments, we find this way a lot quicker, efficient and less costly than pattern drafting from scratch, creating blocks and toiles. Although we can if preferred. Bring your ideas and we can help. You will need to source your own fabric which we can help with as well.

With many years in the industry of Cut & Sew production we are available for small run manufacturing. Our workroom is fully equipped with all the necessary industrial sewing machines for this. Contact us with any enquiries on this.
