Frequently Asked Questions
How do you reach me? You may email me at [email protected] or text me at 517-231-6611.
What is the cost for clothing repair/alterations? I charge $15 an hour for repair and alterations. If the repair required a new zipper, button or patch the cost of that item will added to the cost of repair/alteration. $15 is the minimum amount billed, even if work took less than one hour to complete. If you need a total cost before I start work on your item I will need to see the item first. Please let me know if an estimate is needed, otherwise I will give you a total once the item is complete.
Where am I located? I live in Charlotte, Michigan. We can schedule a place to meet for drop-off/pick-up of items for repair, customized home decor or alteration items.
What items do other people have made for their home? The most recent project was a bench cushion with matching pillows. The cushion and pillows were made with cord piping, and zippers for easy cleaning. We used a two inch thick pad for the cushion. I also finished up a curtain project with tie backs. I love sewing home decor items!
