HOME ALTERATION
The Tailor Shop That Comes to You: Same-Day Alterations at Home
Why waste time traveling to a tailor shop when the expert can come directly to you? The Altered Thread offers a revolutionary in-home alteration service where I, Shanti, bring my professional mobile workshop to your doorstep. Experience the ultimate in convenience and get a perfect fit without the wait—most alterations are completed right in your home in a single visit.
How It Works: The Ultimate Convenience in Four Simple Steps
Step 1: Schedule Your Appointment
Contact me to book a convenient time. We'll briefly discuss the garments you need altered so I can prepare for the visit.
Step 2: The In-Home Fitting
I will arrive at your home at the scheduled time. You'll try on your garments in your own space, using your own shoes and accessories, while I expertly pin and mark them for a flawless fit.
Step 3: Immediate, On-Site Alterations
This is where the magic happens. I will set up my professional mobile sewing station in a convenient space in your home and perform the alterations right then and there. You are free to work, relax, or go about your day while I handle everything.
Step 4: Final Try-On & Instant Perfection
Before I pack up, you'll do a final try-on of the completed garment. We can make any minor, on-the-spot adjustments to ensure your 100% satisfaction. You get a perfect fit instantly, with no need for a second visit.
