Alterations for Clothes

Clothing repair Brisbane is done by an alterations specialist who repairs clothes regularly. He differs from a general tailor in that he normally does not stitch garments, but alters and fixes existing pieces.

The alterations can be simple or complex. These alterations may require hand or machine stitching. If the tears are very complex and extensive, the damages may have to be replaced. A tape measure is used to mark the extent of the changes and the fabric is marked.

Marks are points of revision that are made using multicolored straight pins. For a restructured garment, the stitches are removed by a razor blade or a ripper. The modifications can be done either by hand sewing or a sewing machine. Hand sewing is usually done for smaller areas. A good eye for detail and advanced math skills are needed for this job. Alterations for Petite Women
