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.

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!

We Do Not Accept Fast Fashion

Due to the variable quality and construction of garments from fast fashion brands like SHEIN, TEMU, and CUPSHE, Made by Teri is unable to accept alterations for these items. 

We prioritize high standards in our work and strive to ensure the best outcomes for our clients. Thank you for your understanding.
