I have 43 years of sewing experience, 5 years of alterations experience, and multiple years of repair experience. If you are looking for a local seamstress in the Anderson or Pickens County, South Carolina area, I am available. For repairs and personalized sewing, I charge $15/hr. Some items do not require much time. Others require more. See the chart below for an example of hours and costs. For larger sewing needs, materials may be required and added to the cost.

Consultation for sewing needs is free. There is no charge for that. Materials can be purchased by you or by me and billed to you. Large projects, such as alterations and personalized sewing require a 50% deposit of the estimated hours which will be put toward final costs. Deposits are non-refundable.
