Patching and Basic Tailoring
15
Do you have a favorite shirt or pair of jeans that are getting a little threadbare, but you can't bring yourself to give up on them just yet? I may be able to patch it for you. I don't have a darning machine, so it will be an actual piece of fabric stitched over the hole in the garment. I can also do some basic tailoring and/or apparel modifications. This doesn't mean I can tailor your tuxedo or fancy suit though. I'm talking about taking in a tshirt or a pair of pants. Depending on the fabric, some lighter garments may be out of my scope as well. I'm pretty versatile, so don't be afraid to ask.
Training & Qualifications
I have a bag and apparel business making and designing bags and apparel for urban bicyclists and commuters and for motorcyclists. Most of what I make is heavy industrial fabrics (i.e. Cordura, VCP, etc.), denim, leather and canvas. I've been doing this for about 8 years and make most of my own clothes and bags.
Availability & Preferences
I'm available during our normal business hours, Tuesday through Friday, 10am-6pm, or by appointment.
