Repairs
Repairs are always a necessity for when you want to salvage that favourite piece of clothing, whether you want to re-purpose to help the environment or just to be more sustainable. Sewphie's will repair anything from just a hole in that favourite pair of jeans or replacing that zip in the dress that fits just right!
​
For any alteration comes that initial consultation so you can tell Sewphie's exactly what you want. It is important to do this so that your expectations will be met. No matter the item, Sewphie's wide range of experience will ensure your desired look is achieved

Disclaimer:
Please note that the prices shown above are a base price and the total amount charged for each repair and simple alteration will be specific to the time and materials involved to carry out the work requested. This is reflective of repairs and simple alterations from repairing a hole in a pair of jeans right through to shortening sleeves on a jacket
​
For more complex and bespoke clothing and drapery alterations, please note that we do not quote full prices from the get go. It can be very hard to tell the amount of work that will need to be done without properly looking at the garment on the person or the curtains in person without an initial consultation. The above price lists are based on basic common place services
The above points also apply to any special requests to create something original, such as creating a pair of curtains or making an item of clothing from scratch. Therefore, by booking an initial consultation, based on availability, you will get the total price
The lists above are not exhaustive of the variety of services that Sewphie's has to offer and are based on basic items of clothing. You’re under no obligation to continue with the work after the initial consultation, although there may be a small fee to cover the time for the appointment. (If you plan on going ahead with the work, there is no fee)
