Twelve ideas for showing alterations, made-to-measure work and repairs in posts.
Bought too long, now just right. With jeans, we like to shorten them keeping the original hem, so you cannot see the alteration at all. #alterations
Example of a text tile12 ideas for tailors.
With ready-made sample text to adapt.
- 01
The trousers that finally fit
Trousers that are too long, before and after shortening with the original hem. An everyday service everyone needs.
Example Bought too long, now just right. With jeans, we like to shorten them keeping the original hem, so you cannot see the alteration at all. #alterations

The jacket gets a perfect fit
A jacket with pins at a fitting, with consent or without showing a face. Shows made-to-measure work.
Example An off-the-peg jacket rarely fits perfectly. With a few adjustments at the waist and sleeves, it looks made to measure.
- 03
A new zip instead of a new jacket
A jacket with a new zip. Shows that repairing is worth it.
Example The zip was broken, but the jacket was still good. With a new zip, it will now last many more winters. #repair #sustainable
- 04
Choosing fabrics
Bolts of fabric and samples on the table. An invitation to made-to-measure work.
Example Wool, linen, cotton, silk: for made-to-measure clothing, everything starts with the fabric. We advise you on what suits the occasion and everyday life.
- 05
The tape measure at the shoulder
A close-up of measurements being taken. Shows the first step to clothes that fit.
Example For a made-to-measure piece, we take lots of measurements, not just chest and waist. Every body is different, and that is exactly what we take into account. 📏
- 06
The dress for the special day
An evening dress at the final fitting, without a face or with consent. Appeals to customers before weddings and balls.
Example For the big day, the dress has to fit perfectly. At the final fitting, we pin a few small details so that everything feels just right.
- 07
The button that keeps falling off
A button sewn on properly with a shank. A small professional tip.
Example Buttons on coats need a small shank of thread so that they do not sit too tight. Then they hold even on thick fabric.
- 08
The sewing machine with a history
An old sewing machine in the workshop. An atmospheric picture.
Example She is older than our tailoring shop and still sews reliably. Some things simply do not get any better. #sewingmachine
- 09
The traditional costume gets altered
A traditional costume being altered. Fits well before local festivals.
Example Before the festival season, lots of traditional costumes come to us. Whether something needs to be tighter, looser or longer, we make it fit. #dirndl

The hole nobody can see any more
A jumper with an expertly darned hole. Shows handwork in repairs.
Example A moth hole in your favourite jumper? We darn it so that you have to look very closely to find the spot.

Apprentice at the sewing machine
An apprentice sewing, with consent. Speaks to young talent.
Example Her first garment of her own: a skirt, sewn from the pattern to the hem. Our apprentice can be proud! #apprenticeship #tailoring
