GIVE THE GIFT OF A HANDMADE ITEM
Pre-loved and repurposed sustainable fashion
What I do?
About Tinker Tailoress
Hello, my name is Denise…welcome to my creative corner! I specialise in crafting handmade bags from recycled denim, blending sustainability with style. Each bag is thoughtfully re-purposed, giving a new lease of life to these individual pieces. These are all lovingingly created from my home in Devon.
I think we can all agree that ‘Fast Fashion’ is not sustainable and in fact it is damaging our planet. The apparel industry is a huge contributor to global climate change. Research estimates suggest that a single pair of jeans can have a carbon footprint ranging from 33 to 80 kilograms of CO2 equivalent emissions.
It is my goal to play a part in sustainable fashion, while helping to promote a greener and more eco-friendly future for the next generations.
I also make other home and personal items, so please do take a look at my other items – you may find something just for you!
Recently, I’ve added an embroidery machine to my toolkit, allowing me to embellish my creations with personalised touches and intricate designs. Whether it’s a custom pattern or a special message, my goal is to make every piece truly special.
Thank you for supporting handmade, eco-friendly craftmanship!
Alterations and General Repairs
Alongside the unique creations that I love to make, I am able to offer a professional alterations service to help you achieve your perfect fit and style. Each alteration is done with care and attention to detail. I’d love to hear from you! Whether you have questions, need more information, or would like to discuss a custom piece or alteration, please feel free to get in touch. I’ll respond as soon as possible.
Zip Replacements
Need a new zip? I can help! I specialize in replacing zips on a wide range of garments, from jeans to skirts and dresses. Each replacement is done with care and quality to extend the life of your favourite clothes.
Hemming/Adjusting Garments
Jeans are a classic staple wardrobe item. You feel good when your jeans fit you well. I can shorten the jeans to keep the original hem, or just shorten them to your preference.
Patching & Tears
I offer patching services to repair holes and tears, giving your jeans a new lease of life. Each repair is done with durable, high quality materials that blend seamlessly with the original denim.
Embroidering
Add a unique touch to your clothes with custom embroidery. I offer beautiful machine embroidery to embellish a variety of garments, from jackets and jeans to shirts and bags.
