Simply Made, Simply Altered

Simply Made, Simply Altered I have a tremendous amount of experience and passion for sewing and creating one of a kind items.Please message me with specific questions or inquiries.

With a degree from Columbia in fashion design specializing in custom dress making, I have been sewing 15 years with experience in creating one of a kind items for all occasions. I believe that sewing is a lost art and there are very few seamstresses out there that are current with growing trends and skills. I have been very grateful to have the client base throughout the last 15 years. I do a tre

Being a home based business, it allows me to be flexible in scheduling fittings & appointments. Inbox me to inquire on any special orders or questions. Items can be hand delivered or shipped.

The busy wedding season does not allow for me to do many prom or grad clients. These special ladies were lucky enough to snag a spot with me early on. A few prom gals and Mcauley grads, one that wore her mom’s wedding dress transformed into her white grad dress.

🧵Every year a take a limited number of communion clients where I transform the mom/grandma’s older dress into a communion dress.
🧵This process is months long with spots secured the year prior.
🧵These 8 little ladies were a delight to have in my sewing space this year with 3 of them I met as babies when I made their christening gowns.
💕Thank you so much for trusting me with your vision.
