Heather Garland
Clothing is our second skin… even minor adjustments elevate the look and feel.
Sewing, tailoring, designing and incorporating what is now known as cottagecore; crochet, knitting and leatherwork, I have been developing my skillset for 30+ years.
Simple or Complicated, I enjoy the challenges and love seeing my clients go from “off the rack” to- “fits me just right!”

“Heather altered my daughter’s prom dress last year and did a beautiful job! She recently hemmed a bridesmaid’s dress for my eldest & again … timeliness, attention to detail and her overall conscientiousness. She has been nothing but lovely to work with and we will continue to utilize her services in the future.
We are so grateful she is local! We highly recommend her!”
-Stephanie Barrett
“Heather was recommended to us to alter my daughter’s senior prom dress. Her location was easy to find and welcoming. Heather had such an eye for knowing exactly what to do the moment the dress came on. Her prices were fair and her work was flawless.
Heather is a great communicator and everything was ready exactly when she said it was going to be. I would highly recommend and use her again for any future tailoring needs!โ
-Kellee Smith
โHeather is truly an artist. She will work with you and give her expert suggestions to make sure that your vision is conveyed properly. She altered my daughter’s prom dress and with her ideas my daughter looked perfect!
She also did some “fixes” for me another time, her work is flawless! You can tell she has a true passion for what she does.”
