Sarahsews

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 Lon

don 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.

Prom 2026 - back in October Izzy and I sat down together and designed this dress, a modern day Belle. Over the winter I worked on the pattern and toiled then have worked sewing it all together around all my bridal work, I don’t normally do prom as it’s peak bridal season but this one was so worth it. Izzy deserves every minute she has consistently worked hard on her exams and is the kindest, sweetest girl and we all love her and are so proud of her 💛 enjoy your prom beautiful girl 💛 and an extra special shout out to our amazing Glam Ward for coming over and doing the stunning hair and make up 💛
