altr'd by Molly is a Rhode Island artist and seamstress offering thoughtful clothing alterations, mending, repair, garment construction, and custom embroidery.
Tailoring and repair services for all of your favorite clothes
Clothing often gets set aside for reasons that can be fixed. A hem is too long. A waist no longer fits right. A lining tears. A cuff wears thin. A zipper fails. Good tailoring and repair can bring those pieces back into use and help them feel good again. altr'd by Molly offers services for people who want practical, careful work on garments they still wear, still need, or simply do not want to replace.
Alterations
Clothing alterations improve fit and comfort for everyday wear, workwear, and occasion pieces. The right adjustment helps a garment sit better on your body and feel better to wear.
Custom Embroidery
Custom embroidery adds lasting stitched detail to clothing, accessories, gifts, and fabric items. Names, monograms, logos, and simple designs can make a piece feel more personal or polished.
Hemming
A clean hem can change the whole feel of a garment. Pants, dresses, skirts, sleeves, and formalwear often need length adjustments so they sit properly and keep the right finish.
Jacket Repair
Jackets often wear down in the same places. Zippers fail, linings tear, cuffs fray, pockets pull loose, and seams split, but repair can restore both function and appearance.
Knit Repair
Knits need careful repair because holes, snags, and stretched areas can spread quickly. Early repair helps stabilize sweaters, cardigans, knit dresses, and scarves before the damage gets worse.
Repair
Clothing repair fixes everyday problems like split seams, torn areas, damaged linings, and worn spots. Good repair work restores function while keeping the garment suitable for how you wear it
Sweater Darning
Sweater darning repairs holes, thinning spots, and worn areas at elbows, cuffs, underarms, and hems. It reinforces damaged knitwear so a sweater can stay wearable for much longer.
Visible Mending
Visible mending repairs clothing in a way that can still be seen, often turning damage into part of the garment’s character. It is a practical option for sweaters, jackets, denim, and everyday pieces that deserve repair rather than replacement.
Zipper Repair
A broken zipper can put a jacket, dress, pants, skirt, or bag out of use fast. Zipper repair identifies the issue and restores function without damaging the surrounding material.
Events & Workshops
altr'd by Molly also offers workshops and events centered on practical handwork, repair, and clothing reuse. These include mending circles, hand sewing workshops, darning workshops, knitting classes, and embroidery workshops that give people time to learn by doing. The focus stays on real skills, real garments, and making repair feel creative and approachable rather than intimidating.
