The turnaround time is normally a week.  The holiday season can see turnaround times extend to 2-3 weeks so plan ahead.  Formal wear and more complicated alterations may need more than one visit but that will be explained during the first fitting.  

I work on all types of clothing, women, men and children. Alterations for everyday clothes, mending , household items, military, uniforms, zippers.  Unsure? Just ask me. 

I do NOT work on Leather or Wedding dresses.  See below. 

Cash or Venmo at pick up.  No items are released until paid in full. 

Yes I am.  Dreaming of something unique, with a special functionality,  or that just fits ?   Let's talk and see if I can make it happen.  

Your garments, shoes and undergarments you will wear with garment. Why?  Shoes change your posture and undergarments can change the way your body is shaped and I check to make sure everything stays covered that needs to stay covered.  

If you plan on changing shoe heights with pants,  bring them all so we can get the perfect length.  

I am located in the My Space building at 1657 S Getty on the SECOND FLOOR .  As you come in the front doors, you can ask the Lobby receptionist for directions or if you've been here before come on up.  If you have a lot to carry, contact me when you get here and I will come down and help you.  Text 231-767-5985. 

Any item you would wear as a bridesmaid or wedding guest, prom and other school dances, gala etc.....  These garments are made from special fabrics that  require more time and skills to work with.  Chiffon, Satins, Sequins, Lace, are just few examples.  

All formal wear fitting require foundation garments and shoes.  

I do NOT work on either.

I do not own the heavy duty machine needed for stitching leather items.  

Wedding dresses specifically require a dedicated skill set to meet all the needs for a bride.  Find yourself a specialist in wedding gowns.  I am not that seamstress.  

Starting in October 2025 I will be taking appointments from 4-6pm Monday, Tuesday and Thursday.  The building is closed after 4 so you will have to meet me at the side door to be let in.  

Text 231-767-5985 to set those up.  

As you might experience also, I get a lot of calls that are labeled "potential spam".

 Please text me  or leave a voicemail and I will respond back to you during business hours.  Pictures and the more detailed your message, the better I can answer your questions.  

I'm too busy to waste my time with spam calls.  

It is practically impossible to quote over the phone. I have to see the garment in person. I examine the construction to gauge how it is assembled and how difficult or easy it will be to open it up to do the work needed.  I aim to be accurate with my sewing and my prices.  At the time of your fitting you will be given a firm price for the job.  If you change the job and more work is needed that was unexpected to achieve your needs, that price will be revisited.  

To put it simply, there's a lot to unpick.  Sometimes you have to add more stitching to keep it together while working on it.  (Down coats) Some have flaps and other details that have to be put back together. Parts have gone up in price. It's a time consuming job.  

I always go over any zipper that is brought to me. If your zipper is missing teeth or insertion pins at the bottom are frayed or missing,   it will need to be replaced.  If the zipper is intact but isn't staying zipped it is probably the pull and that is easily replaced.

Unsure? Bring it in and I will go over it.
