We offer an alteration and curtain making service through our partner, Swirly Vines. Bring your garment into Material Needs and have a chat about what you want changed. For curtain and blind making, come in or phone Material Needs on 01278 794751 to discuss what you want doing. You will receive a phone call when your items are ready for collection.
Please make sure all garments are clean before bringing them in or you may be asked to return once they have been washed.
Note that we cannot measure you for your alteration. Please bring your garment pinned or otherwise marked to where you need it altered to (preferable) or specific measurements for your required alterations.
See below for price guidelines but please be aware that these may vary if you have a complex alteration as it may take more time. Curtain and blind making prices are order specific and will need discussion with you to give a quote. Payment is on collection from the shop. Please pay by cash wherever possible- there is an ATM around the corner from us if required.
