A Professional Dressmaker, experienced in all aspects of pattern cutting, fitting and sewing

I provide a personal service: I design and make the pattern especially for each client, before having a fitting in calico.

Having Heidi make an outfit is an absolutely wonderful experience .
She can turn her hand to anything and has done everything from very minor alterations to the most amazing and complex dress I have ever had. And every item is approached with the same meticulous and considerate care and attention to detail.

Vintage baggy Dungerees

5
I own a vintage pair of dungarees that have hung in my wardrobe for the last 5 years because they were so baggy and I would never wear them and then I found Heidi. She has done a fantastic job of altering my dungarees into a wearable item within a week at a very reasonable price - thank you Heidi so much

Alterations to silk dress and jacket

5
I consider myself fortunate to have asked Heidi to alter an outfit for a family wedding. It needed letting out in one area and taking in, in another, and made to fit smoothly all over. A lot of work. Heidi was most professional, and spent a great deal of time fitting it, until she was satisfied with it. She talked through her thoughts on how best to do the alterations, and was friendly and very helpful. The end result was a dress and jacket that were comfortable to wear and looked good, and I cannot thank her enough.
I highly recommend Heidi to alter any outfit. I will be returning to her soon, with more clothes to be altered to fit.

Mother of the Bride

5
Heidi was absolutely wonderful in creating and making my Mother of the Bride outfit.
I had an initial idea as to how I would want the outfit to look and she advised and suggested adaptations and additions. She was meticulous in fitting and consequently the completed garments felt extremely comfortable to wear all day and in the evening too.
She was also able to alter off the peg bridesmaids dresses to fit individuals perfectly .
Flexible with her availability for appointments and always cheery and caring.
I would recommend Heidi without any hesitation.
