Over the past 21 years, Abigail has honed her craft to a fine science – but equally has an eye for exciting creative opportunities, where the artistry of seamstressing becomes so important. Below, you’ll find the services she most frequently provides clients in Crawley and the wider West Sussex area.
Wedding & Bridesmaid’s Dress Alteration – A wedding is likely to be one of the most memorable days of your life, and it’s important that it’s perfect – right down to the most minute of details. Specialising in wedding and bridesmaid’s dress alterations, Abigail will ensure that what you’ve chosen perfectly compliments your figure, overcoming the problem of “off the rack fit” while ensuring the features that first caught your eye are front and centre.
Suit Tailoring – A poorly fitted suit can draw all the wrong sorts of attention, and make you feel less confident than you deserve. Tailoring suits to ensure their cut suits your figure is a big part of what Abigail does, whether it’s a suit you’re wearing for one day only (e.g a wedding), or one you wear day in and day out for your work. Whether you like traditional suits with a broad profile, or something sleek, slim and modern, we’ll ensure you feel like a million bucks when you’re suited and booted.
Clothing Repairs & Alterations – We’ve all had it happen at some point in our lives – a rip or tear to a cherished article of clothing, or a frayed edge or loose stitch that requires some attention. While some handle this at home, the quality of repair you’ll get with a seamstress with 21 years of experience is unrivalled. Abigail can also alter clothing, for example by adding a zip to a jacket or taking in a waistline, to make it better suited to you.
Upcycling – Perhaps you’ve found a garment at a thrift shop or charity shop, or a friend or family member has an old item that needs some TLC? Abigail is a seasoned upcycler who can transform old and neglected clothing into brand new pieces – even if the materials are somewhat damaged or worn out.
Curtains, Cushions & Furnishings – When you head to furniture shops, you’re typically presented with a range of mass produced products, and are tasked with finding the one that best suits what you have in mind; we ask – why compromise? Instead, a seamstress can use materials of your choosing and create bespoke curtains, cushions and furnishings that breathe new life into your property’s interior.
