About Me
Hello, I’m Ellie.
I am a qualified seamstress, with 15 years of industry experience in garment construction, patternmaking, tailoring, alteration, and design.
Sustainable fashion has always been my jam, I believe care and consideration should be the foundation upon which all garments are made, altered, or repaired.
Services
I specialise in alterations that are “a little bit different” and boy, do I love a challenge!
From enlarging formal wear to replacing lining in swimwear, your precious pieces are safe in my hands.

Ellie is magic! I've had several dresses altered and they now fit me like a glove. I always get compliments on how flattering the fit is on my clothes.
Thank you Ellie!

Ellie is a beautiful lady with a lot of knowledge. She can make a dress to pants to even bathing suits. Hemming, taking in, taking out. Very reasonably priced. Turn around is very quick. And she can put pockets in nearly anything!!

Ellies alterations, care, and attention to detail are next level. I'm basically a regular now and I won't let anyone else alter my clothes!
