Custom Alterations

I can sew anything! Some of the more unusual items I've worked on include repairs to bee keeping suits, making scrubs in African fabric and an array of fancy dress, cosplay and costumes.

Sewing can be outdoorsy too! I have also made colourful garden cushions & bunting. Curtains and cushions for camper vans, caravans and boats. 

I know there's more challenges out there please just ask - If it needs sewing it needs me!
