One way of being sustainable and eco friendly is definitely repair and alter the clothes you already have.
Rather that throwing them away, have a think if there's anything that could be done to it to keep it going?
Less consuming means less waste!
I do alterations and repairs in my studio 7A Fishergate, NR3 1SA.
Please send me a message to arrange appointment as my working hours vary a lot.
Here is couple of things to keep in mind before you bring your clothes:
*I don't do leatherwork.
*Please bring only clean clothes to be altered.
*You can purchase for example zip beforehand and also unpick the broken one.
This will save a lot of time from me and will reduce the price.
*My turnaround time depends on what needs doing and if I need to order materials.
I don't have a stock of zips etc. I only purchase them when needed.
Please contact me in any questions! Use the contact form here, or email katrikdesign@yahoo.com
or message on social media or message/whatsapp 07539222135. Unfortunately I can't usually answer phonecalls.
