Sewing, styling, consultation and design

Hi, my name is Sarah and I am a dressmaker.

I undertake alterations, repairs and commissions, basically anything fabric related! I can do the simplest of tasks that you may not feel confident undertaking like replacing a button, re-hemming a piece of uniform through to making a garment from scratch. I particularly like breathing new life into garments and making my clients feel confident in their clothes. Whether that be a pair of well-loved jeans or dress for a special event.

I have been working in Shoreham for about 7 years although sewing has always been a part of my life. I also run sewing classes and have written for several sewing publications!

Once a piece of clothing fits as it should you will wear it for years to come and feel fabulous in it. I am passionate about what I do, if in doubt as to whether I can help; please call and we can chat it over with no obligation or you can book an appointment for a fitting. I am always happy to offer suggestions and advice on how I can help you.

Get in touch

I have a small studio with a fitting room in Shoreham. If you think I can help, give me a call and I’ll book an appointment either for a fitting, which is free of charge or just to drop off your items. I work on an appointment only basis. If for any reason you can’t make you appointment or you are running late; I would really appreciate a quick message to let me know. The studio is at the rear of my house but please use the doorbell as this rings through to me.

Once you arrive, we will have the opportunity to discuss your requirements. I will let you know the lead times and an estimate on price. Once the job is complete, I’ll text you and you can collect at a mutually convenient time. Payment is cash or card once you are happy with the item. Lead times are usually around 10 days, but I know that emergency’s crop up and I’ll try my best to accommodate.
