We make things sew great
Save money, feel great, lose the guilt
We know you’ve got that pile of clothing sitting somewhere around your house making you feel guilty for not repairing them. You’ll get the sewing machine out in the weekend, yeah right! Maybe your sewing machine is broken, or you’ve lent it to a friend (we hear that a lot). We’re here to help. Flick the dust off that pile and bring it in to Sewing Seams.
Alterations
You wear the pants! Don’t let your clothes wear you, you wear the clothes. Ill-fitting garments can be the difference between an outfit looking great and awful. Even if you chose the right size for you off the rack, we all know that generic sizing is not the perfect fit for our unique bodies. We want you to step out everyday looking fabulous. Give your clothes a new lease on life. Don’t leave your bad clothes in the naughty corner of your wardrobe, bring them to Sewing Seams for an alteration made just for you.
Repairs
You will not believe what we can do. You see ruined; we see plans for restoration. Zip, rip or bust seam we can patch, fasten, and reconnect so that you won’t even be able to tell your garment was damaged. If you’ve been losing things from your pockets and you’re trying to work your way around that annoying hole that you keep forgetting about until coins and keys are disappearing out your leg hole, now is the time to get that pocket replaced.
Tailoring
You’ve invested in some fancy threads but you’re not quite feeling it. What you’re after is a tailored fit, a suit that looks like you were born wearing it. We are experts at reshaping and adjusting outfits for your shape.
Remodelling (Restyling)
That outfit was cool a few years ago but now it’s time to throw it out and move on. STOP. We can create something new from your tired clothes that make them seem like a whole new thing. A restyle is so stylish. You will be surprised at how fashionable your unfashionable garments can look. Remodelling is eco- and budget friendly.

Dressmaking
We will help you make your dream dress come to life. We absolutely love acting like your Fairy Godmother! Bibbity bobbity boo, you’re off to your special event in a one-off, dream dress. Unlike mass produced clothing your dress will be expertly crafted and designed to fit.
We love it already. Have you got a dress that you absolutely love and would like another one, perhaps in a different fabric or colour? Bring it into Sewing Seams and we’ll make sure your favourite dress lives forever.
Preloved clothing
Curtains
Fall in love all over again! Sometimes all that is needed is a makeover to give you (or your clothes) a whole new lease on life. Maybe you’ve found something at a thrift store that you couldn’t walk past but it just needs a few alterations. We will make your preloved clothes look like they were made for you.
It’s curtains for your ill-fitting readymade curtains!! You can stop searching for the right size curtains for your window size in a tolerable colour and start planning your showstopper curtains. Just bring your measurements and Sewing Seams will turn your choice of fabric into beautifully crafted curtains to fit.
Bulk NZ made contract sewing
Uniforms, specialist work clothes, lab gear, probably even spacesuits—we can do it. You don’t need to go to a large offshore supplier to get your bulk uniform needs carried out. Shop local, call the shots, walk in and see the smiling faces who will sew your garments. Made in New Zealand.

Sewing Tip
Always prewash linen or cotton garments prior to having them altered so your perfectly fitted garment doesn’t shrink.
