Repair

Got a hole that needs patching or a rip that needs stitching? Then you’re in the right place!

At Ellie Stitches, I specialise in visible mending; Using embroidery, machine darning and patching to repair your clothes. Repairs and mends should be worn as a badge of honour, as an acknowledgement that you love the clothing you wear enough to invest in its longevity.

Repair Services

  • Using my sewing machine, I’ll reinforce any weak points in your garment with a matching or contrast thread - your choice!

  • We’ll work together to decide on an embroidery design which covers a stain, compliments your garment and adds to its personality

  • I’ll use this traditional Japanese technique to reinforce your garments weak point and add a detailed embroidered element

  • Patches are a great way to add more personality to your clothes. I can use machine or hand stitching to finish a funky patch on your garment. We’ll work together to pick a fabric and finish that suits your style

  • Collars and cuffs are often where your favourite jackets and shirts show the most sign of wear, so give them a new lease of life by replacing them. We can work together to choose a fabric that matches (or contrasts!)

Don’t know what service is right for your repair? Get in touch and I can advise you on which option would work best for you!

Repairs are done on a three to four week turn around, dependent on the size of the repair and material sourcing needed to complete it.

Need it in a rush? We can discuss a quicker turn around but this will incur an extra charge.
