Testimonials

Dressmaking is a passion for me, but I always found altering clothes a real challenge. Unpicking the wrong seam, or taking it in too much. Your technique has saved me hours of frustration and time. Thankyou for writing Genie Clothing Alteration Secrets Revealed. Why didn’t I think of it myself?

I met Judith 3 years ago when I took a pair of jeans to her for altering. These where my favourite jeans and I was a little nervous to be honest that they would be at exactly the length I wanted them. Judith spent the time with me to make sure they where just right. When I picked them up they where perfect and the hem looked just like the original.

I have been taking all of my clothes to Judith ever since, items of clothing which have always never perfectly fitted and items that need repairs, from silk dressing gowns to woollen turtle neck jumpers.

Judith’s work is second to none and is always very professionally finished.

Service with a smile has become a rare thing I find as a consumer, where the retail industry is more concerned with quantity than quality.

What a delight to discover Judith where one can have any garment taken up, taken down, stitched or sewn, made smaller or larger and where "everybody does know your name".

Judith is the person behind the ethic and becomes a friend. So I not only look good, I also feel good and know that I have experienced friendly but professional service of the highest quality.

Why I even recommended my very discerning partner to Judith.

D.I.Y. Clothing Alterations

Welcome to the planets #1 Clothing Alteration Source. This website is designed to provide you with all the information and products you need to do clothing alterations for yourself, your family or even to start up a little clothing alteration business.

Clothing Alterations are in demand worldwide. Why is this so? The fashion industry has changed in the past forty years. It used to be more economical to buy fabric and make your own clothes. The change began when China became a major manufacturer of clothes. You can buy from your favorite designer, or you can buy from K Mart / Walmart and other stores that provide you with a wide range of fashion, but at a cheaper price than designer brands.

If you live in a city, there will be hundreds of fashion stores vying for your dollar. Price wars exist all the time, because the competition is so high. Clothes are no longer expensive to buy, (depending on where you shop), but even buying off the rack doesn't mean the clothes are going to fit your body. Hems need to be shortened, backs of pants may need to be taken in for those of us with sway backs, sleeves need to be shortened. Basically our clothes need to be adjusted to fit our different body shapes and sizes.

The first product I have for you (which is a must to buy) is the book "Genie Clothing Alteration Secrets Revealed". This book covers the most common clothing alterations. It has 236 pages of step by step procedures, plus 400 illustrations. Not only that, but there are techniques in this book for taking up hems and taking in clothes at the sides, at the back (with or without a zip), creating darts, raising straps and so on. Following these techniques will mean no more mistakes of cutting pants, dresses or skirts too short or taking in too much or not enough.

This is a system that guarantees success in both of these areas 100% of the time.

When you purchase the hard copy book, and you will receive the bonus Jean Genie. This little device will teach you how to alter your jeans hem and sew it on your trusty domestic sewing machine (AND SEW OVER THE THICK SEAMS) creating a professional jean hem as good as, if not better than hems sewn on an industrial sewing machine.

The ebook is also available as a download, but does not have the Jean Genie.

We then have products that you will need to begin your clothing alterations. Our new online haberdashery shop, has all the tools to make your life easier when it comes to clothing alterations. There are also problems to help you keep your clothes looking clean and crisp. I have even put together a Clothing Alteration Kit, which has everything I believe you will need. Have a look at Clothing Alteration Products to view the products.
