At-Home Tailor
Hi there - I'm searching for someone who can do minor alterations for me on a regular basis at my home in Piedmont.
Typically, my items are rather simple; shortening the straps on a dress or bringing up the hemline a bit, nothing crazy. I work crazy hours and often don't have the time to make it in during business hours. Previously, I would try to pin the items myself and have my assistant drop them off for alterations in-person, however some items can be quite difficult to try and fit on my own.
Ideally, this person would have availability in the evenings on Mondays, Wednesdays, or Fridays, but I'm also open to weekends or providing ad hoc times during the day. English / Spanish speaking preferred (for effective communication). Venmo would be the ideal payment method, but we can arrange for cash as well.
Not looking for anything luxury / high end, just someone with good alteration experience who can come by one a month or so to do a fitting, alter the items, and return them back to me at my home in Piedmont with a reasonable turn around. Doesn't necessarily have to be a professional either - if you're a local parent with good sewing experience, or have a high schooler who does, feel free to let me know! My only ask would be to communicate if a request is ever beyond your experience / comfort level, so that those items can be handled with care.
Thanks in advanced for your suggestions!

I don't know if Wendy Lo off College does house-calls, but she is my go-to tailor!
Hello dear, I have used Gabriel Escobar from Tailor It. He has fixed items to most of my family members, since 4 years ago. I highly recommend him, you can reach him at (925) 639 3969 or https://g.co/kgs/v6e7AHK
