Sure, having me re-fashion, or repair your items will cost you, but clients are finding that their quality clothing and fabric items are "worth" the investment of keeping them functioning, vs. purchasing new.  Check out my Mending/Alteration Price List to give you a basic idea of what it might cost to have this service provided to you.

From Jumper to Tote - June 2009

A favorite jumper is now transformed into a lovely tote for groceries, library books, etc.

Client requested that I maintain the side pockets for use on the tote.  These pockets already had velcro for closure.  The lining was a complimenting cotton fabric.  The straps were made from the same type of Khaki, but were created from a pair of pants that the client outgrew.

Winnie-the-Pooh Costume

For our daughter Holly - College Freshman.

Our daughter didn't want the typical Halloween, evil type costume, but rather something sweet for the young children to enjoy.  The college where our daughter attends, provides a community service to the local children, by providing them a haunted walk.  The younger children will feel safe beside Winnie-the-Pooh.

Holly had a great time, and the children just loved seeing "Winnie-the-Pooh" when they arrived at the edge of the forest.

Repair of Backpack near Zipper

Before Repair

Before Repair

After Repair

Backpacks don't necessarily last forever.  Sometimes repairing the item will allow a more economical approach to one's needs.

This backpack was tearing away at the zipper, fraying the fabric, making it non-functional.  By repairing the frayed area, and re-stitching back on the zipper, this backpack returns to one's functional needs.
