Clothing Alterations
Giving your clothes the designer look
No two people have the same shape, its a fact! . There’s no need to accept how the clothing manufacturers think we should be shaped. A wide range of alterations can be performed to make your garments fit perfectly.

Curtain Alterations
Dressing windows perfectly
To save money, most curtain manufacturers mass produce curtains in just a few standard lengths and widths. Having your curtains made to measure is often expensive, many times the value of the off-the-shelf products. Make and Mend can offer a seamstress service visiting your home, measuring your window space and then make the necessary alterations to your curtains so as to make them fit perfectly.

Repairs
Don’t despair, I can repair
It’s so annoying when you buy a great jacket and then tear the pocket on a door handle, or you fall over and damage your trouser leg or skirt. The Make and Mend repair service is the perfect solution. Our seamstress will assess your damaged garment and advise you on the expected outcome free of charge.

Party Costume Alterations
Making your party outfits fit more comfortably
Do you have the perfect dressing up party outfit, but it doesn’t quite fit any more? Bring it to us and we’ll measure you up and give your outfit a new lease of life.
