Is It Time to Donate Those Pants? Think Again With Alterations
Summer Grilled Halibut
Kids outgrow their clothes at an amazing rate. Last season those pants fit just fine, but now they’re suddenly up to your child’s ankles and could pass for capris. That school uniform is not going to make it another year. But before you donate them or toss them out, consider a better option.

THE BENEFITS OF ALTERATIONS
•
1/2 cup hearts of palm, drained Basil leaves, for garnish Kosher salt and black pepper, to taste
•
4 boneless, skinless halibut fillets, about 5 ounces each 1/4 cup olive oil, plus extra for drizzling
As your kids grow, clothes become snug in certain places and don’t fit right in others. By making small alterations, we can make those clothes fit again. By taking a waistline in or out, the life of those pants is extended for at least another year. And hemming pants can make them the perfect length for a younger sibling. We can also patch minor rips and tears on clothing. When you’ve already made an investment by purchasing these clothes, the price of an alteration will cost much less than buying a replacement. Alterations aren’t just for kids. If you’ve ever been frustrated by the fit of a jacket that you love but doesn’t quite suit the shape of your shoulders, consider how a few small stitches might make it into something well-suited to you. According to New York tailor Miguel Zabludovsky, “Alterations are the equivalent of performing maintenance on any piece of equipment; you need to do it to ensure it runs properly.” Our team can give your clothes the fit you desire and breathe new life and modern updates into clothing that you considered past its season. You’ll be amazed by what our team can do. From small tears and complete refittings to untraceable reweaves, we have all mending and tailoring services covered. We know military patches, hems, and tapering, and we have in-depth tailoring knowledge for weight loss and gain. We know that purchasing a whole new wardrobe is expensive, but with alterations, you don’t have to buy new clothes. We’ll help you adapt to your new physique.
