Jeans
-
Holes! If you have torn the knees or crotch of your jeans it will cost between $8-$25 to repair. It's better to fix holes quickly. Sometimes you won't even see that it has been done.
-
Zipper! A new Jeans Zipper is $25. Sometimes just the slider can be replaced. In this case it is $8.
-
Pockets! A new pocket in Jeans is $12. This is the same price as extending a pocket, Ladies (Bc tiny pockets are annoying).
Winter Coats
-
Does the arm of your coat appear to be coming off? That's a very simple problem to fix. Bring it in for between $10-20
-
Zipper issue? A new slider is $8 and a whole new zipper is $60-80. Be sure to reach out though! Most of the time it really does just need a little adjustment.
-
Hole in your pocket? Get it fixed before you lose things inside your coat. Between $4-10.
Knit and Crochet Items
I love mending knit and crochet items. However there are a million ways to go about it and a million issues that can come up. Please send me an image of the issue that you're having and I can let you know what I can do and what the cost will be.
Other Repairs
I've mended some very unusual items and some very usual ones. There is no repair I consider boring and no repair too small.
Beekeeper suits, leather, socks, chainsaw pants, favourite t shirts, blankets, purses, stuffed animals. Missing buttons, thread coming out, pilling, stains. I'm happy to look at it all.
Note: I do not offer clothing dying.
