alterations specialising in bridal and evening wear and freelance design projects. I also take on freelance design projects on request.

A little about Sarahsews; I work as freelance alteration specialist, in bridal and evening wear. I work very closely with Helen Taylor at The Bridal Box, working in the shop every other Saturday and working on the majority of The Bridal Box dress alterations so we can ensure the perfect fit for all our lovely brides. I am very qualified to do this work having worked in the fashion industry in London for many years as a senior pattern cutter and garment technologist after getting my 2:1 Ba(hons) in fashion design, now many moons ago!! I love my work and am at present fitting in as much as possible around my two beautiful babies, as they get older I aim to take on more and expand more back into the design side:)

Any job I take on is priced dependent on the work involved and a quote will be given on consultation.

How is it a week since we went away for a few days! It was a much needed break as wedding season has come to its end and we definitely needed to get away from the seemingly never ending house renovation. I will do a big revel just before Christmas as there are a few bits which we are waiting on and the snagging to do. But back to the holiday we stayed near Bude in a really cute Air bnb on a farm literally in the middle of nowhere. We traveled to north Devon to Watermouth Castle - that was an experience. Then we had stunning weather on the Friday and spent the day at Sandymouth Beach which was stunning. Since back had a couple of final fittings and done a bit of sewing but mostly back in to sorting renovations the carpet upstairs is starting to go down today! Can’t wait🤍.

I also went over the dress and fixed on any loose beading so that it looked perfect for the big day. Linda you looked amazing and thank you for sending through this picture 🤍

Happy November, it’s a day late but I have been having a few days off with a sneaky trip to North Cornwall so will do a post about that soon my aim for this month is to catch up on my socials which is always a struggle to keep up with during peak season. So for November my plan is to start chasing all your beautiful pictures of you looking gorgeous on your big days 🤍 I also have a couple of November weddings going out then I will be working on all the gorgeous December weddings🤍 I still have very limited availability for December, January, February and March weddings so don’t delay in getting in touch if you haven’t already🤍

I have moved!! Well to the garden from the loft, she’s finally made and moved into, the new and improved sarahsews studio/workspace. I love it so much am so grateful to now have this space, it’s still snug but I have managed to find a fold away screen for a changing space when I have lovely brides and bridesmaids in for fittings so you will now find me out here and I am going to love getting used to space over the winter so that I am ready for 2027 wedding season. 🩷 dress is a The Bridal Box sample Annalise £800 down from £1485 🩷 the actual studio was built by the amazing Dan Insulated Garden Rooms | Devon they were amazing through the whole process and would recommend them to anyone looking for a similar space 🩷

September, literally one of my favourite months, it’s a bit like a new year, new things everything changes from the heat of summer. I have one starting year 10 and one heading in to A-levels at sixth form tomorrow. Peak wedding season is nearly over the light is at the end of that extremely busy tunnel 🤍 I have major house renovations starting this month, we are finally giving our house the glow up she deserves and this brings really big changes for Sarahsews so watch this space for updates it’s really exciting… I do have very limited space for November and December brides…. I also have limited for Jan, Feb and March 27. Also don’t forget to send me pictures 🤍.

For Hannah’s dress I lifted the hem, took in the full lace bodice and added a more supportive bra cup, the results look stunning 🤍 for Hannah’s bridal party I also took in bc and lifted the hem of a bridesmaid’s dress and took in her mother of the brides dress. The photos are stunning as at Hannah and thank you for sharing them with me🤍
