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

mendous amount of wedding gown/bridal party alterations in addition to custom dress making and have expanded into toddler & baby accessories/dresses. 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.
