About Sewing For You

Welcome to Sewing For You.
Just off the a50 at Alvaston, Derby.

I worked at Brigdens for over 25 years, attended art college and attained an H. N. C in ladies and gents tailoring.

I provide quality work and advice with skill and experience, on garments, furnishings, (please note, to all customers, please think twice about buying anything too small, as there is hardly ever anything to let out. I have seen quite a few sad customers because of this). I look forward to doing business with you. Thank you.

Please call or email to arrange a quote or consultation. Sorry I do not do visits to your home. Thank you.
Look forward to hearing from you. Available on mobile (message service) or email.
Regards, Elizabeth.

Kim O'Malley

Very good and professional very reasonable price would definitely recommend.
George Howard

Had a great experience here with curtains that needed altering. Completely put me at ease with pricing, what was possible and couldn't of been more helpful. Having been to several so called expert trailers for things, I'd only ever use this lady now. Highly recommended.

This is the second time Elizabeth has shortened trouser leg lengths for me. On both occasions the results have been exemplary. This time one of the fabrics was particularly challenging and required some hand sewing. Not only that but Elizabeth was able to advise on the optimum length to suit the trouser style. A fantastic result, thank you. Elizabeth has an amazing personality, is a high quality seamstress and I have no hesitation in recommending her skills.

I took 6 tops to Elizabeth to be shortened and am chuffed to bits with them. She’s made an absolutely fantastic job. Great value for money and done really quick too. Will definitely be using again in the future and would highly recommend her. Very pleased. :-).

I can’t praise Elizabeth’s work or thank her enough…she works to a very high professional standard and at incredibly low prices, it’s just amazing. My only regret is that I haven’t found her sooner ! I can highly recommend her work to absolutely anyone, I have to admit, I’m very very fussy when it comes to sewing alterations. , but honestly, no one would ever know. Her work is just perfect. And not only that, Elizabeth is a lovely lady. Very pleasant, always helpful and always has time for you….
Response : Thank you christine for your review,i am glad you are pleased. I hope to see you again when you require sewing work.

I often buy clothes bargains in charity shops and nine times out of ten they need new zips, hems taking up, or if too big a good deal of taking in. Elizabeth's workmanship is outstanding, neat, and she always ensures it fits you correctly. Very professionally done! And her prices are good value. Liz herself is also very patient. She knows her fabrics and will tell you what can and cannot be done. Highly recommended!
Response : Good to see you again terry. You always bring me interesting fabrics ,and styles. Thank you for the work.

She did an excellent job and her work is second to none. I would not use anyone else in Derby now I have found Elizabeth and would highly recommend her to anyone that needs any tailoring.
Response : Thank you for your business. I am glad you are happy with my work. I look forward to working for you again. regards elizabeth.

I recently had the good fortune to have Elizabeth alter some clothes for me. She altered a few dresses and trousers, one of the dresses had a cross over neckline that didn’t fit when I bought the dress. It now fits perfectly. I also like the fact that Elizabeth prices the work prior to starting the alterations. Can highly recommend. Excellent prompt service.
Response : Thank you for your review. Thank you for your custom. regards elizabeth.

I have used Elizabeth’s sewing services for a couple of years now and feel very lucky to have found such a talented lady to undertake this work. I say this as her work is exceptional and she is a true professional. She is reliable, honest and friendly and will always view the item beforehand to ensure she fully understands what is required, whether the alteration is possible and will always provide a timescale of completion. I would consider Elizabeth’s work to be fairly priced against other competitors and I wouldn’t go anywhere else.
Response : Thank you tanya. Thanks for the work,and the laughs. I hope you are better soon xx.

Elizabeth does all of my clothing alterations which has included trousers, taken in to fit and jeans and chinos shortened and finished with original bottoms. She has also tailored a to large overcoat to fit. Her work is of the highest quality as is her knowledge of tailoring.
