Clothing Alterations
Giving your clothes the designer look
No two people have the same shape, it’s a fact! There’s no need to accept how the clothing manufacturers think we should be shaped. A wide range of alterations can be performed to make your garments fit perfectly.

Dressing windows perfectly
To save money, most curtain manufacturers mass produce curtains in just a few standard lengths and widths. Having your curtains made to measure is often expensive. Make and Mend can visit your home, measure your window space and then alter your curtains so they fit perfectly.

Don’t despair, I can repair
It’s so annoying when you buy a great jacket and then tear the pocket on a door handle, or you fall over and damage your trouser leg or skirt. The Make and Mend repair service is the perfect solution. I’ll assess your damaged garment and advise on the expected outcome free of charge.
