Repair & Alteration Services
Trying something new...
Most people don't fully understand the intricacies and attention to detail required to make well-fitting garments. Unfortunately, with the rise of fast fashion, shortcuts are becoming common in the production process. This leads to issues like a lack of inclusive sizing and poor construction, resulting in more and more ill-fitting clothes.
Additionally, I’ve noticed a trend on social media where people use scissors to alter their favourite clothes in an effort to achieve better proportions and silhouettes. While there's nothing inherently wrong with this, many shirts are made from woven fabrics, which means they will eventually unravel with every wear and wash. I get the appeal of raw seams, and there are ways to maintain that look while also ensuring your clothes last. This service is designed to help prevent unnecessary fabric waste and to give people garments they’ll truly love.
Here is my recent post on my social media pages in regard to this new service:
‘I am pleased to offer professional alteration and repair services across ALL of Australia. Whether it’s something simple, like expertly cropping your favourite T-shirt, or more complex repairs for heavily worn garments, I can help bring your clothes back to life.
My services start as low as $5, with the most popular service being new hems and T-shirt crops for just $10.
You might be wondering how this works on a national scale. The process involves shipping, and I understand that this can sometimes feel costly. To make this more affordable, I recommend bundling alterations or repairs. With access to discounted shipping, most of the shipping costs will be covered by me!
Additionally, I offer discounts and free shipping on larger bundles, making it even easier to take care of all your clothing needs.’
Check out the newly launched Macrae Morning TikTok page! The goal of the account is to spread positivity, focusing on "Hopecore" and similar uplifting content. This side of TikTok holds a special place in my heart for its influence and the impact it had on my life during some dark times.
I hope you all have a wonderful week!
