Hey There, How are You Doing?

Sustainability

92 million tonnes of clothes are thrown away each year. Repairing your clothes keeps them from being wasted.

80-90% of my supplies are sourced second hand, further reducing the impact of my repairs.

I'm willing to discount prices for certain services if the customer is willing to use second hand material. Savings for both me, and you!

All leftover fabric, thread and bits from my work are cut into squares for quilts, torn into strips for rag rugs, or cut into pieces for stuffing. Not a scrap wasted!
