Alterations By Leah came about towards the end of the first lockdown. As I realised my lovely theatre wardrobe jobs weren’t coming back anytime soon I decided to start to offer alterations in my local area and also to start making some bits and pieces to sell. Pre pandemic I had already become a bit obsessed with turning any scraps of leftover fabric into scrunchies for myself and had considered it as a side hustle so they were a natural choice! I choose lovely patterned cottons and the softest silk velvets to make them from and there’s a whole variety of colours and patterns available now! In my Etsy shop you’ll also find a small collection of handmade bags made from rescued deadstock fabric or repurposed vintage table cloths.
I also offer alterations, repairs and custom makes which you can email or DM me about. You’ll find some examples of these in some posts and on the “Happy Customers” highlight at the top of my page.
