Looking for a seamstress - need jacket alterations

Post by MaryPlayaPoppins » Fri Aug 08, 2014 12:24 am

Hi there,

My fiance and I are getting married on the playa this year. Last week, he received his steampunk/willywonka jacket in the mail. It was made by someone out of state. It is awesome but it needs a few (hopefully simple) alterations in the sleeve area. The sleeve openings are a little too small for his hands. Looking for someone with creative sewing skills in the SF bay area.

Please let me know if you need any other info.

Thank you!

Take it to the drycleaners, (if they have a person out front with a sewing machine). Explain that it's a formal costume piece and work it out. Zippers would be easy. Or maybe a small addition of some other fabric is called for. You could open the seam and make it lace up like a pirates shirt. Don't stress out over it. If the jacket fits him You'll think of an easy solution. Have a beautiful wedding.
