IMPROVING FASHION & FIT WITH EVERY STITCH

Welcome to Made By Teri

sewing-needle-pink

I’m your local neighborhood tailor who is equipped to help you with all of your clothing needs. From custom dog clothes to clothing alterations, I provide various services to be able to help you with all of your unique clothing desires. My main goal is to help you use your wardrobe for as long as possible so you don’t have to worry about spending money whenever you notice a new rip or when your clothing size shifts. The best part about forming a one-on-one relationship with a neighborhood tailor instead of a large dry cleaner company is that I’m able to form a deep understanding of how to alter your clothes so they make you feel your best. Plus, I offer additional services such as custom clothing, including onesies, shirts, and aprons.

Hi, there! My name’s Teri Ortega and after retiring from the Air Force in 2019, I founded Made By Teri, LLC in early 2020. What started as making masks to help my community fight back against COVID-19 quickly turned into a full-fledged business where I’m able to help you with all of your alteration needs. Whether you need military clothing alterations or you want to repair some of your older pieces, I’m here to help with all of it!

My clothing alteration services allow you to wear your favorite pieces for years to come. You no longer have to buy new clothes because yours have stretched out or no longer fit you correctly. From jeans to suits, I can mend anything and bring it back to life!
I love helping my customers create custom vinyl shirts for special occasions, whether it’s for a milestone birthday or a graduation party, custom shirts are always a huge hit! My affordable vinyl shirt services let you bring your creativity to life.
