Barking Stitch remakes, alters, and refreshes clothing with careful attention to fabric, fit, and construction.
Choose the kind of clothing project you want to explore, from fit updates to full redesign work.
Bring vintage clothing back into regular wear with fit updates and redesign choices that respect the original garment.
When a garment carries memories, we handle the work carefully and keep the agreed design direction clear.
For straightforward alterations, we explain the seams to be adjusted and confirm the scope before beginning.
Upcycling projects make use of the material already available, with design choices guided by fabric condition and structure.
Practical alterations and remodelling for clothing that deserves another round of wear.
Refresh dresses, skirts, shirts, and jackets with redesign work that keeps the garment wearable and current.
Give existing fabric a new purpose through reuse projects shaped by the material already there.
Each project begins with an assessment of the garment, construction, and fit limits before work is approved.
You receive a written alteration scope so the planned work is clear before remodelling begins.
Bring in a garment you want to alter, redesign, or reuse, and we will review the fabric and construction before preparing a quote.
