Mrs. Kateri Scott, Seamstress

To a Sempstress Oh what bosom but must yield, When, like Pallas, you advance, With a thimble for your shield And a needle for your lance? Fairest of the stitching train, Ease my passion by your art; And, in pity to my pain, Mend the hole that's in my heart. Anon. Eighteenth Century

Popped a button?  Tore a seam?  Need something hemmed, lengthened, shortened, modernized, etc?  I'd be happy to be of assistance! Simply call me at 518-843-6271 to make an appointment.

Do you have any vintage/antique garments that need some mending? I give free evaluations of garments to determine if I am able to mend it, or if it needs professional restoration.

I am not limited to garments.  If you have any linens, curtains, drapes, tableclothes, etc that need mending, I'd be happy to do the mending!

Re-enactors!!  Do your need your historical garments or uniforms mended?  I also hand-sew on regimental lace and I make death's head buttons.

By appointment only, please.   Please call ahead to make an appointment. I'm sorry, but I cannot work with leather, pleather, or denim (unless lightweight) at this time. Wedding gowns are on an individual basis.  Some gowns I simply do not have the equipment or time to alter.

I offer many classes as well, including beginners sewing, 18th century sewing, history, past~times, and school projects.  Click Here for more Info.
