Our Process
A careful, methodical approach to deliver quality results for your garments
How We Work
Assessment
Every project begins with a thorough assessment of your garment. We examine the fabric type, construction method, current condition, and specific requirements. This initial evaluation helps us understand the scope of work and determine the most appropriate approach for your specific needs.
During this stage, we discuss your expectations, timeline, and any special considerations. We take detailed notes and measurements, ensuring we have all the information needed to proceed with confidence.
Fabric & Thread Selection
Matching the right materials is crucial for a seamless repair or alteration. We carefully select threads that match not just the color, but also the weight, texture, and composition of your original fabric. For custom projects, we help you choose from our curated selection of quality fabrics.
Our extensive thread collection includes hundreds of colors and various weights, ensuring we can match virtually any garment. We also consider factors like durability, stretch, and care requirements when making our selections.
Sewing / Repair
This is where the work comes together. Using a combination of traditional hand-sewing techniques and modern machinery, we execute the work with precision and care. Every stitch is placed thoughtfully, every seam is reinforced appropriately, and every detail is attended to. We work methodically, checking our progress regularly to ensure consistency throughout.
For repairs, we use techniques that preserve the garment's original character while ensuring durability. For alterations, we work methodically to maintain the garment's overall balance and style. For custom pieces, we follow the pattern precisely while making adjustments for the right fit.
Final Fitting
The final step ensures everything meets our standards. We conduct a thorough quality check, examining the work from all angles, checking stitch tension, seam alignment, and overall finish. For alterations and custom pieces, we schedule a fitting session where you can try on the garment and we make any final adjustments needed to achieve the desired fit.
We pay attention to how the garment drapes, how it feels when worn, and how it looks from all perspectives. Any minor tweaks are made on the spot, ensuring you leave completely satisfied with the result.
