Services
My little studio located in Rooty Hill, offers alteration services to casual or designer clothing and a bespoke dressmaking service . This is a private, quiet little place where you can feel comfortable in and although the quality is the highest the prices are reasonable taking into consideration the complexity of work involved.
I specialise in made to measure garments for women, men, children, pets and more covering the entire family and home.

Whether you require an alteration such as a simple hem or a complete reconstruction of your favorite garment, I will do what it takes to ensure you look and feel great in your outfit.
With a wealth of experience, I successfully cover a variety of work on different fabrics from denims to fine laces and bridal wear, linen and silk to leather and fur, swimwear to knitwear. I can alter designer clothing to original manufacturers specifications using the most appropriate tailoring techniques, threads, sewing machines all done with dedication and with an immense passion for my work.
Turn around is usually between one and two weeks for small alterations (apart from my busy times) I do try and accommodate emergencies and last minute requests, depending on my work load.
Larger scale projects will take longer and are negotiated at our initial meeting.
PS: The best way to reach me is by sending a text message as I tend to miss calls when busy with customers or in classes. I will surely reply to your messages even if delayed with work.

A small way of me giving back to the community......
I make "Angel Garments" for Rainbow Babies, which I have been doing this for 29+ years as part of my dressmaking service.
I am not tied to any charity organization. This is a self funded service, and every garment is made with 100% new fabrics. Not from used wedding dresses or anything as such, unless requested by the parents.
At times, I do get Brides donating their wedding dresses towards this service. Please note, these donated dresses are either sold or rented out and the money got from them is purely used to buy new fabrics for the precious little darlings using these Angel Garments I make.
My "Angel Garments" can be custom made to individual cultural / traditional wear as well. Just give me a picture or vaguely sketch out the outfit that needs to be made and I will do the rest. Once again, YES, this Angel Garments making is a FREE service to the community.
