What we can help with
Regular and blind hems
A folded, stitched hem suits many everyday garments. A blind hem reduces visible stitching on the outside and is often used for tailored trousers and skirts.
Original and raw denim hems
Ask about retaining the original edge of jeans or creating a raw finish. The denim, leg shape and amount removed affect the options.
Rolled, baby and hand finishes
Lightweight dresses and skirts may need narrow finishes. Delicate or formal garments can involve hand finishing, depending on fabric and construction.
Stretch, decorative and household hems
Discuss stretch or lettuce-style edges, facings and decorative details. We also assess curtain and household textile hems.
How much does it cost?
Hem circumference, finish, fabric, lining and the number of layers affect hemming costs.
We assess the item and explain the price before you leave it with us. If you are comparing options, bring the garment in for a quote based on the actual work required.
Your questions
Which hem will look best?
We can compare suitable finishes with the existing garment and explain how visible the stitching will be.
Can you hem a dress with several layers?
Yes, after assessment. Each layer may need a separate finish and adjustment.
How long will the work take?
Timing depends on the item, work involved and current workload. Tell us your deadline when you enquire; the shop will confirm availability and any express surcharge before you proceed.
