Hi

Anyone know a good local seamstress/clothes repair place? Looking to get some pulled/split seams repaired in some sports kit, slightly complicated as the seams are all flatlock stitches.

Thanks

Maybe try Stag & Bow, if they can’t do it they’ll probably know someone who can :slight_smile:

I’ve always used 2001 Dry Cleaners (141 Stanstead Road, near the Fire Station) for repairs and alterations. Tel: 020 8291 3650.

Around the corner from him, M&M Dry Cleaners (5 Wastdale Road) have a good reputation for alterations

If no luck there the dry cleaners in Crofton Park on the left hand side are very good & reasonable.

Has anyone tried the service from the cleaners on Dartmouth Road?

I have. They fixed a dress for me and did a beautiful job although it did take them well over a week as they had to find an appropriate zip (which seems fair, but just a word of warning I case people want things done speedily)
