REmade for YOU.

We specialize in remakes, repairs and restyles. In our services, we strive to incorporate conscious design, which means using second hand, vintage, and reclaimed materials, as well as items you already own in different ways. If this excites you, our services are for you. Our goal is to improve your life through style, function and sentiment. We’d love to explore your project with you. Here are some types of projects we do:

Upcycling and remakes
Memory projects
Repairs
Alterations (*No bridal or formal wear)
Custom versions of our handmade products (ex. our pot holders in your fabric choice)

Projects are accepted at our discretion based on schedule availability and project scope viability. Quotes are based on time and complexity, plus materials if applicable.

FAQs

It depends on the complexity and materials needed. Project costs include:
- Design time and materials sourcing (if applicable)
- Creation time
- Materials (if not provided by customer)
Your final project cost will not be more than $35 more than quoted (one hour fee), and if total work time is less than anticipated, your cost will be less!
I don’t offer alterations on formal wear or wedding gowns. Other alterations are accepted depending on my schedule availability. Some custom projects require lots of time and I want to give you the best service possible!
Yes, I can usually find a fix for shoe uppers (no re-soling) and repair things like open seams, holes and tears on bags and other textile items. I’ll do my best to make sure the expected outcome is clear and find a creative solution to your need!
I will give you an estimated completion date in your quote. Many things can affect turnaround time, such as project complexity, ordering materials, shipping times if applicable, and my current project backlog. Additional charges may apply for rush needs. (I’m a one person team!) Thanks for understanding!
I have an evolving stock of fabric and other supplies. I can let you know if I have materials that could fit your project needs. The cost varies and if it’s a fabric that was donated to me or is a scrap, there wouldn’t be a charge for those materials!
We gladly accept donated materials to fuel our creativity and sustainability mission! If you have unused fabric, trimmings, or other sewing supplies that you'd like to contribute to our craft, we'd be honored to put them to good use in our custom designs. Your donations help us reduce waste and create beautiful, one-of-a-kind pieces. Contact us to arrange a donation or learn more..
