Someone who can sew!

I love the cushion covers Rachel made. Super neat, skillful sewing and consideration of details. They look beautiful!. The trouser alterations were also great, and she offered me good advice! It was easy to work with Rachel, she was flexible with my uncertain pickup time, which meant the job was handed over after the completion date. No problem. Highly recommend Rachel for this type of work. Thanks !!

Clothing alteration
Sewers can alter clothes in many ways, such as adjusting the length of trousers or tightening a skirt around the waist. Sewing experts can also add features to a garment, whether it’s adding nifty pockets to a dress or sewing patches onto sleeves.
Clothing alteration is a great way to customise or update a garment to a wearer’s preference. Find sewing alteration services near you today by putting up a task and telling us what you need to be done.
