Clothing alteration 

Sewers can alter clothes in many ways, such as adjusting the length of trousers or tightening a skirt around the waist. Sewing experts can also add features to a garment, whether it’s adding nifty pockets to a dress or sewing patches onto sleeves. 

Clothing alteration is a great way to customise or update a garment to a wearer’s preference. Find sewing alteration services near you today by putting up a task and telling us what you need to be done.

I have a blue vest (see pic) and I need to add pockets, buttons and the small collar trim to make it look like Will Byer’s jacket from the show Stranger Things (see pic.) This is for a Halloween costume. I have the vest, the buttons, and the burgundy fabric. I just need someone to do the sewing. Pockets don’t have to be functional if that’s too difficult. They can just be for the look. If close by, I can drop off and pick up the vest. I don’t anticipate it would take more than an hour to do. Less if you have a sewing machine!

I need help combining seven matching LoveShackFancy plush slipcovers into a removable cover for my large, round Lovesac beanbag and a very small foot ottoman. I need someone to come to my home in Fulton Market, Chicago, ASAP—ideally today or this week —to measure, as the beanbag is too large to transport. I’m happy to pay a home-visit fee. The sewing can be done here at penthouse for convenience as well but a machine suitable for the semi thick plush material is needed. Please let me know your earliest availability, home-visit fee, and estimated turnaround time. Photos attached.
