Est. by hand, one seam at a time

Garments made to fit your life, not the other way around.

Custom clothing, alterations, and mending from a studio that still measures twice and cuts once. Bring us a pattern, a favorite pair of jeans, or just an idea.

What we do

Three ways to work with us

Whatever the project, everything is cut, pinned, and pressed in-house — no outsourcing, no rush jobs that skimp on the finish.

Custom garments

Dresses, suits, and separates built from your measurements or an existing pattern, in fabric you choose.

Alterations

Hems, resizing, and repairs so the clothes already in your closet actually fit the way they should.

Mending & care

Visible or invisible mending, patchwork repairs, and seasonal care so well-loved pieces last longer.

“I've never had trousers actually fit at the waist and the length. Jo Sews fixed both in a week.”
