A sewing service focused on upcycling, mending, and altering
Mariella Lindsay-Botten uses her sewing skills and creativity to transform and give new life to clothes, keeping them in use!
Upcycling: taking clothes that don't serve you anymore and turning them into items that do. Is there a potential project hanging in the back of your closet?
Every Project Is Unique…
… and composed of one or more of these three key components:
Holes, rips, tears, anything that keeps you from wearing your favourite pieces: fixable! Whether you want it looking seamless or unique and custom is completely up to you.
Mending
That item you never wear because it’s never fit the way you want it to? Or used to but doesn’t anymore? Make the clothing fit you! Custom tailoring to your comfort and measurements.
Altering
Have a creative vision for a project and don’t want to do it yourself? We can work together to transform the sentimental, not used, almost-your-style-but-not-quite clothing or fabric into something new!

Studio Policies
All materials must be clean! No soiled garments or strong odours.
My rates are $25/hr (or $20/hr for simple mending).
Further consultation may be arranged for phone call, video call, or in-person as you are comfortable. Fittings, if required, will be in-person.
Any additional materials that are required but not provided must be compensated for. This will be discussed beforehand.
