Just can’t bring yourself to seam together that sweater? Need some expert blocking help? Have a knit or crochet item in need of repair?
I’m here to help you make your items shine!
I’ve have been providing expert finishing and repair services for the last five years and have extensive experience working on knit and crochet textiles. This type of work is detailed and can be tedious, but taking the time and care to do it right and attend to every detail makes all the difference when it comes to making your piece (back) to life.
As a professional designer, I hold myself to a high standard of excellence – and I carry that standard into the work I do on your projects.
See some of my recent repair projects below, for a sample of my work.
