Thank you all so much for your support of my business this year. I’m now fully booked for the rest of the year and closing my books for 2026. Sorry for any disappointment. If you have any events coming up in 2027 it’s never too early to book your slot in.

Just a note to say that I am booked until late-October. I am taking bookings from 27th October onwards. I will not be taking any bookings in December, so if you want any Christmas party dresses altered you need to pre plan to get an alteration slot in November.
It is also never too early to book in your alteration slot for weddings and events in 2027!

Lovely to see the prom dresses I altered in action. Hope the students had a fab time at the Lockerbie Academy Prom last week. Looking very glam!

Why have a garment designed and made from scratch?

- You can tailor the design at every stage of the process to ensure that it is exactly what you want.
- You have full control over the fabric type, colour and pattern.
- Each garment goes through multiple fittings, to ensure that it fits the unique body shape it is made for perfectly.
- You will end up with a totally unique product that makes you look and feel truly special whatever the occasion.

Have you got an idea in your head and you can't find anything like it in the shops? Why not have it made for you?

Bookings now OPEN for 1-2-1 Sewing tuition.

Have you had a project in mind but not had the confidence to start it?
Did you start to learn to sew as a kid and always wish you'd carried on?
Would you like to learn to sew but just don't know where to start?

I offer calm and flexible sewing lessons from my home studio in Boreland - whatever you would like to learn just get in touch and I'll work with you to create a lesson structure and plan that works with your experience level, availability and budget.

Lessons are £38 per hour plus materials, and can be booked as a block or on a PAYG basis.

You can bring your own machine to learn on or use mine.
