Custom Sewing & Garment Transformation: Handmade Clothing, Upcycling, Memory Sewing
$93.89
I create one-of-a-kind garments and transformed pieces with thoughtful design, skilled craftsmanship, and attention to detail. Whether you’re looking for a made-to-measure dress, a restyled vintage garment, or a meaningful keepsake, every piece is handmade with care and a focus on fit, quality, and longevity.
Pricing:
The listed price of $125 is a starting price for simple custom projects. Final pricing varies based on design complexity, materials, labor, and timeline. A detailed quote will always be provided before any work begins.
Deposit & Payment:
Custom projects require a non-refundable deposit to secure your spot and begin work. The deposit amount is applied toward the final total. Once your project details are confirmed, a private custom listing will be created for the deposit. The remaining balance is due before shipping and will be invoiced through a separate custom listing.
What I Offer:
Custom Clothing: Made-to-measure garments, special occasion wear, and unique everyday pieces
Garment Transformation & Upcycling: Restyling, tailoring, and redesigning existing clothing
Memory Sewing: Keepsakes such as pillows, bags, or accessories created from meaningful textiles

Local clients on Vancouver Island can book an in-person consultation for measurements and design discussion.
Why Choose Handmade:
Each piece is created in my Vancouver Island, Canada studio using reclaimed and deadstock fabrics chosen for quality, texture, and character. My work embraces slow fashion, sustainability, and skilled construction, resulting in unique garments and keepsakes you’ll treasure.
Turnaround: Most custom projects take 2–4 weeks, depending on complexity

Frequently Asked Questions
Custom and personalised orders
I can alter most designs to a smaller size if needed. I cannot make them bigger unless it is in a creative way with inserts etc. Please contact me to discuss.
Custom and personalised orders
I can use a number of different fabrics for any design listed, or I can use a fabric that you provide if you desire.
Sizing details
All garment measurements are listed in the description. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
Care instructions
All fabric is pre-washed before I cut. Because of the nature of the items, most require a delicate wash or hand wash, and either hanging or laying flat to dry, depending on the item.
