Clothing Repair and Alteration

15


15 per unit - - Posted Dec 01, 2021

I will listen to your requirements, take your damaged or loosely-fitting clothes, and repair them and/or do simple alterations. I ask that you come to my neighborhood to drop them off. If your request is sufficiently easy, I may be able to do it while you wait (I will let you know ahead of time).

I can do things like sew back up worn or ripped seams, reattach buttons, add patches, take in seams, add pleats, and hem. I can also add decorative trims and such things, but I will ask you to provide the materials. I will consult with you first and ask you for photos to ensure I will be able to fulfill your request, as some repairs will be more difficult or impossible given my materials.

Pricing is per repair / alteration. I may adjust based on the difficulty of your request.

Training & Qualifications


I have been altering and repairing my own clothes for 5 years. I will use my own sewing machine and thread.

Availability & Preferences


Weekends generally work best, but I can be flexible

Trading Preference: I’m flexible, just hit me up!

About Marjie Volk

I'm a software engineer by day, omnivorous learner and creator by night. Some of my current hobbies include song writing, spinning knitting weaving and other fiber arts, and nail art. My current job... is at a video game studio where I do gameplay engineering. I'm a huge enthusiast of video games, especially the quirky indie kind. I also love reading and watching fantasy and sci fi - from complex intellectual social tragedies to trashy young adult romps. During lockdown I turned into a retired person and filled my house up with interesting orchids and a big stamp collection. I live in a lovely house with my partner and two cats, where I now get to decorate to my heart's content. My friends say my bedroom looks like a child's room because of all the bright colors and happy wallpaper - but I'm proud to be a child forever!show more
