I offer professional sewing and alteration services in Ivybridge, near Plymouth, covering South Devon and West Cornwall. My services include alterations for soft furnishings, blinds, curtains, and a wide range of clothing items such as dresses, bridal wear, trousers, coats, and fabric accessories for boats, vans, and homes.

For curtains, I can shorten, lengthen with a contrasting fabric, or revitalize them with a new lining. I also specialize in bridal and bridesmaid alterations, as well as wedding dresses, evening gowns, suits, coats, and other garments for both women and men.

To provide an accurate quote, it’s essential to see the garment in person. Ladies, please remember to bring the bras and shoes you plan to wear with your dress if adjustments to length are needed.

I can shorten or adjust trousers, skirts, dresses, and sleeves, and can also alter the cut if your clothes don’t fit perfectly—within the limits of the available material. Almost any item can be repaired or modified to your needs. Please feel free to get in touch to discuss the best options for your items. I always aim to offer advice on what is possible within a reasonable budget, and my goal is to provide high-quality work without overcharging.

For additional services, please read our website for more details or get in touch.

Terms and Conditions:

Repaired or altered items must be collected within 2 weeks of completion, unless otherwise agreed. If not collected within this time frame, a storage fee of £10 per week will apply.

For jobs quoted at £50 or more, and for materials, a deposit is required. Payment is accepted via cash or BACS transfer only.

In most cases, I will need to assess the item before providing an exact quote. I am happy to source any necessary materials for you or assist you in finding exactly what you need. Please email details of any alterations or repairs, and I will provide you with an estimate and confirm the cost before commencing any work.
