Sew Fitting Alterations And Embroidery

When you come to my shop, you will typically try on your garment and I will mark it. There is usuallya 7 day turn around. I can do next day for an extra fee.

I have always done alterations at home for friends and family. But I decided to take my sewing skills farther. I received my AAS in Fashion design in 2012. I interned with Manuel Cuevas, the designer to the stars in Nashville. After Manuel, I wanted to expand my experience so I took a job at David's Bridal for a season. There I learned all aspects of alterations in Bridal and formal wear. After that I took a full time job at a mens tailoring shop in Nashville where I learned all aspects of men's wear tialoring. 

I do have a standard pricing list for my services but some things like bridal and formal wear gowns have to be priced according to what has to be done.

I have always had an interest in sewing. As a child and teenager, I would make things with my great aunt.

I have worked with men, women, children and even home interior. In Nashville I worked with many musicians and even got to meet and work with Johnathon Cain, the keyboard player and songwriter for Journey.

I recently finished a jacket for a young lady and she was very please with the outcome

First make sure that they can understand you. I had a lot of people come to me that I gone to alteration shops where the employees there did not speak or understand English very well. Communication is of UTMOST importance when getting a garment altered. Especially if it is something as expensive and memorable as a wedding gown. 

I really can't think of any in particular other than making sure of what the cost will be up front and making sure that if the item is not going to be finished in time that the alteration person let them know that.
