Repairs, Hems & Alterations
We all know how annoying it is when the zip goes on your favourite pair of trousers, the hem drops on your party dress or your best suit no longer fits. Save the stress of shopping for a replacement and save the environment too by getting your garments repaired or altered.
​
Whatever your needs, from the smallest repair to an alteration or adjustment, Sewswift are on hand to assist.
Prices vary dependent upon the construction of the garment and the skills required but typically it would cost £10 to hem a pair of jeans or £25 to hem a formal lined dress.
​
Times are by appointment.
