School Uniform Alterations

Children grow fast, and school uniform rarely fits perfectly straight off the shelf. Our seamstresses can shorten blazer sleeves, take in or let out waists, and hem trousers and skirts to just the right length. Where we can, we’ll tuck the extra fabric inside the hem rather than cutting it away, so it can be let down again as they grow and the uniform lasts that bit longer.

We also take care of the everyday wear and tear that comes with school life, from replacing broken zips and sewing on buttons to patching worn knees, mending torn pockets and darning holes in jumpers. School badges and crests can be stitched neatly onto blazers too. The summer holidays get very busy, so we’d recommend bringing uniform in early to have everything ready well before the first day of term.

Name Tags

Every parent knows how quickly jumpers, PE kit and coats go missing at school. A clearly labelled item is far more likely to find its way home, and that matters even more for boarders, whose whole wardrobe lives away from home for the term. Whether you have woven name tapes or iron on labels, we’ll attach them neatly and securely to every item, from blazers and shirts to socks, sports kit and bedding.

Sewn in name tags stay put through wash after wash, so you won’t be replacing peeling labels halfway through the year. Simply drop off your child’s uniform list along with the name tags, and we’ll make sure every piece is labelled and ready to pack, saving you an evening with a needle and thread.
