Words from Courtney's Clients
Contact Me
Please email me using the email address below!
Thank you for considering my services. I look forward to talking with you soon.
Hours
Most evenings or Saturdays, I am available to discuss requests and potential projects. Due to being home-based and not my full-time job, response may be delayed by a day or two.
I use email to communicate at this time.
Questions?
Please reach out to me at courtneysews.mt@gmail.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.
My area of expertise is simple repairs and alterations, particularly hemming of skirts and pants. I have some experience altering wedding dresses, but my strong suite is hemming.
If you are requiring massive alterations that are beyond my skill level, I will recommend you to seamstresses in town.
If I believe a request is beyond my current expertise, I will say so and recommend you to other seamstresses in the Missoula area.
Acceptance of sewing, knitting, alterations, and custom projects is done on a case-by-case basis and depends on my current workload. I encourage you to contact me with any projects that you have in mind, and I will get back to you promptly.
Since I am just starting my business, I am only accepting projects and alterations from people inside Montana. If it involves shipping across state lines or transactions that are not in Montana, I will not agree to take up a project.
However, if you are passing through Montana, particularly Missoula County, I can assist you.
