Garment Mending Services
Do you have a garment in need of repair languishing in your closet? I can help! Both visible and invisible repair options are available depending on your vision. Find all of the info about dropping off a garment to repair here! (Please note that I don't generally do alterations - sorry! See the list below for tailor recommendations.)
You can also contact me to request a mend if you don't live in the Boston area and want to mail your garment in, or if you're not sure whether something can be repaired or not. Don't forget to send photos!
See some of my past mending work here.
Or go the DIY route and learn to mend your own clothes by taking a workshop with me!
