DROP - SEW - GO
Initially the “Drop-Sew-Go” service was created during the CoVID pandemic for a ”no- contact” service option.
The Drop-Sew-Go service is available for any sewing needs where a fitting is not required.
Some examples below:
Pant hems
School uniform
Curtain hems
Zipper replacement
Mending

How To Prepare for Drop Off
(examples; not exclusive list)
Pant Hem
Watch Pant Hem video explaining 3 options how you can advise how much shorter you want your pant shortened by:
-
someone measures you
-
use an existing pant hem length
-
advise how much you want shortened by
Repairs; mend/darn/replace
The Drop-Sew-Go service is available also for items that require repair such as holes etc or replacement of zippers and elastic or any alteration/repair services that does not require a personal fitting.
Includes replacement zippers in clothing and cushion covers.
You can assist by putting a pin or even some sticky tape near the area that requires repair, eg on the inside left leg seam. This will help me locate and attend to the correct repair you require.
School Uniform - skirts/dresses
Place ONE pin/peg in one area, usually just in front, to indicate how short you want the uniform length to be.
Or you can simply advise the amount, ie "5cm shorter" .
Make sure the wearer is standing upright and not leaning over when you do the fitting.
Curtain Hems
Please advise/indicate how much shorter you require the curtain to be by either method;
-
Folding one end at the desired length and putting pin/peg. Best done when curtains are already hanging so you can determine where you want it to finish.
-
Measure the length from the hanging fixture** to where you want the curtain to end and advise ie 213cm. Or
-
Advise how much shorter existing curtains needs to be eg 10cm
**Length is not necessarily the window size. Measure from fixture (usually above window) to where curtain will finish. eg, likely below window
