What Customers are Saying...
Ruth goes above and beyond for her customers and their items. She has done wonders with so many of my clothes, I will never take my clothes anywhere else. She is exceptional in her work, I would highly recommend for any small or big job.

We'll make your loved item wearable again.

About Me
I love to fix things so that they can be enjoyed again, whether it's going to be worn or used around the home.
In my spare time, I love ALL things crafty, paper, fabric and mosaics.
Repair or Replace
Our first discussion and quote is to hear your specific need and offer possible solutions. I will suggest whether to repair or replace. No two jobs are the same, every customer and item is unique and my aim is to alter things specific to individual needs.
What We Do
Pickup & Deliver
If you can't come to me, I will come to you.
Hems
Shortening of all hems inc. curtains. A fitting is not always required
Repairs
Holes, rips and broken zips. We do it all. Leather, suede, costumes, sports gear and even soft toys.
Uniforms & Corporate
We do badges attached to clothing and custom fitting of work/school uniforms.
Knit/Crochet
​
If your item is not fabric, but knitted or crocheted we can repair that as well.
Formal Wear
​
Bridesmaids, ballgowns, minor suit alterations - all of that can be taken care of.
Upsize & Downsize
We can almost always make something fit that doesn't look great on you.
Customised Bedding
Caravan, camping or specialised bedding. We can cut sheets and quilts to size to suit your needs.
Urgent jobs
​
Did you leave it to the last minute? Contact us and we will do our best to fit you in.
What We Don't Do
Delicate Bridal
We don't specialise in bridal gowns but can recommend some very good dressmakers.
Make Clothing
Alterations is our specialty. I leave the dressmaking to those who love it.
Heavy Duty
Canvas, tents, canopies, blinds. We leave those to the experts.

The Rumour is Out!
"Fast &
Affordable"
Thank you very much Ruth for my daughter's blankets, she loves them very much! Fast, affordable and friendly service; highly recommended.
Daria Cowan
"Highly Recommend"
I can’t highly recommend Ruth enough, she altered my daughters dress to fit her perfectly. Very professional job and prompt.
Thank you Ruth.
Casey Duncan
"Perfect Workmanship"
I had two sets of massive curtains that needed cutting down, so Ruth came to my house due to the size of the curtains. The workmanship was perfect, service amazing and the price so reasonable.
