No he's not in trouble, however you may have some clothes that are in trouble and in need of repairs! I carry out a very wide range of professional clothing repairs eg zip replacement, jeans, skirts, trousers, dresses, casual jackets, coats, shirts/blouses, and formal wear. So don't throw it, give me a call and let's see if it can be rescued.
Do you have a favourite item of clothing you wish you could wear again?
By checking your wardrobe carefully, you may find there is a lot more life in clothes that have been hanging unused for some time. Although you can discard or donate those clothes, try giving them a new personality by repurposing them. What could be more sustainable than breathing new life into your wardrobe? It can sometimes be a real challenge, but it’s fun and rewarding.
When it comes to clothing, it’s important that your clothes are comfortable to wear and fit correctly and they feel as good as they look. Whether you need trousers shortened, hems adjusted, skirts restyled or anything else, just give me a call and I'll assess what can be done to give you a perfect solution. Have you purchased some clothes online only to find that they don't fit nicely or are too big? Certainly, you can save money by buying online (sometimes), but often they never look as good as they did in the picture, so if the clothes don’t fit, fix them! Give me a call.
When you have a job to do, you need to look your best, and have perfectly fitting work or school clothes. I offer a range of uniform alterations and repairs including taking in, letting out, shortening, lengthening, tapering and much more. Contact me for more information and an assessment of what can be done. If you can wear it, I probably can alter it!

I specialise in clothing alterations and repairs for all kinds of garments.
Hi, I'm Janine & welcome to Stitch to Fit. I am located in the Perth Hills suburb of Lesmurdie Western Australia. I am available for clothing alterations and repairs in all surrounding areas including Kalamunda, Gooseberry Hill, Forrestfield, Maida Vale and Wattle Grove just to mention a few. I provide only the highest quality of sewing work on all your clothing alterations & repairs.
I was taught how to sew and repair clothes by my Mother, from the time I was old enough to manipulate a needle and thread and with her guidance and over the course of time, I have refined and perfected my skills.
I do all alterations myself, on my own premises, and I will personally ensure that the stitch to fit is right for you.

The sleeve on this jacket was in most people's view, beyond saving! There are a couple of options that could be taken, with throwing it away being one and OK, it's probably not the ideal item to take to an op shop, but you could guarantee a few more years wear by having it repaired and given a new life.
This jacket has seen some seriously hard use over the years, to the point where most people would have thrown it away - quick. It's a bit worn but still warm, so the jacket was brought back to life as it’s tough to throw it away when there is a strong attachment with great memories developed over many years.
Out with the sheep, in with the chic. The relining of this jacket completes the transformation from an old time winter warmer, ideally suited to a wet and cold night at the suburban drive-in, to a warm and stylish eye catching jacket that reflects the needs of the urban lifestyle and the man about town.
With vision and a desire to give a new personality to faithful items of wear, this jacket now is definitely for individuals with a love of style and a sense of enjoyment to step out, add a complementary scarf and strut their stuff for many years to come.
Stitch to Fit provides a complete clothing alteration & repair service throughout the Perth Hills & surrounding areas. From a delicate skirt hem to altering your favourite pair of jeans, I pride myself on providing you with quality workmanship each and every time.
I am passionate about providing a top quality service and my reputation and customer satisfaction are very important to me. I guarantee, you will be happy with the results.
See below for the wide range of professional services I can offer.
Repurposing clothing involves transforming old or unwanted garments into new, functional, and stylish items. Turn a pair of jeans into shorts, a favourite dress to a skirt, shirt to tank top or a T-shirt to pillow case. This sustainable practice not only minimizes environmental impact but also allows for personal expression.
Need something to be shortened? People shorten clothes for various reasons, including customising the fit for comfort, adjusting clothing to current fashion trends, repurposing old or oversized garments to give them a new look, or repairing damaged areas. From shirt sleeves to pants, shorts, skirts, dresses, casual jackets and more.
Adjusting hems is done to ensure garments fit properly, enhance their appearance, and improve comfort. It allows for tailoring clothing to individual body shapes, corrects length issues, and helps garments look smart and professional. Have you just bought a new skirt or dress but it is too long or the skirt hem is coming undone?
I offer a full range of repair services for all your denim jeans, casual jackets, and shirts.
If you haven't washed your jeans or casual jacket in a while, a good time to do it would be before dropping them off for repairs.
Need something sewn back on securely? Whether buttons, belt loops, or fastenings, I can reattach anything you need to make your clothes good as new. Even if you've lost a button, don't worry. I can replace singles or sets with something similar.
A tailored pair of trousers or casual jacket can transform a suit or any casual wear. Alterations include skirts, trousers, suit pants, shirts and casual jackets.
Contact me to arrange a fitting to ensure you are getting the best from your clothes.
Before you toss it out, let me have a look and see what can be done to breathe new life into your well-worn or damaged clothes. Seams are usually the weak point in most garments, so let me see what repair options are available.
Work and school uniforms should be comfortable and well fitting. When they aren't, your day can be spoilt. Repairs of all sorts can be attended to. Call me and I'll make sure you get back to looking your best!
Curtains too long or are they the wrong width? Curtains too large can be altered to achieve the desired size and appearance. Let me turn them into perfectly fitting curtains by contacting me to assess you requirements and pricing.
