Clothing Alterations

20


20 per hour - - Posted Jul 24, 2017

I will fit your clothing to you and complete alterations in a professional, timely manner!
I can alter anything from suits, formalwear, casual, kids clothes, menswear, womenswear, bridal, etc!
Rush work can be an option depending on my schedule.
I can also fix open seams, patch holes, reinforce, update, upcycle, and more.
If you question if something can be fixed/altered, then just contact me!

There are many ways to conduct this service:
1) We can meet at my residence for the first fitting, agree on a completion date, and you can pick up the items on or after that date. (Bridal and other formalwear may take 2-3 visits/fittings)
2) If you cannot make it to my residence, I can come to yours (within 25 miles from KC, MO) for the fittings and delivery after completion.
3) If you live too far and have items that need mending/fixing, we could do a video chat to talk about what needs done, then you can ship it to me, and I'll ship it back to you at agreed upon date.
(This option is not recommended for resizing garments)

I hope to hear from you!

Training & Qualifications


I have been doing professional alterations for 10 years off and on, and have learned from numerous professionals in the Greater Kansas City area. I have been altering menswear at Jos A Bank for 4 years now, and Bridal gowns/bridesmaids for The Gown Gallery for 4 years as well.
History: I have been sewing since I was 12, attended Fashion Design school for 2.5 years, then completed an art degree!

Availability & Preferences


I am typically available for fittings on week nights, and sometimes on weekends.

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

About Ruby Lindell

I am an artist and seamstress in the Kansas City, MO area. I graduated from the Kansas City Art Institute in 2007, but also studied Fashion Design at Stephens College for 2.5 years before that. I have... been doing professional clothing alterations for 11 years, and making art sparingly on the side. My goal is to 1) get more into teaching sewing, 2) make art more often, and 3) make parody music videos for youtube! My very first music video can be viewed here: https://youtu.be/4JKd3M4NmN8 AND my first parody song is here: https://soundcloud.com/ruby-lindell/cranky-fancy-parodyshow more
