Kia Ora everyone!

I hope this is ok but I thought this might be worth a shot. I’m self-advertising my services as a seamstress! I can do alterations, (starting at $15 for a basic pant hem) and made-to-measure items with flexible payment plans.

I’m looking to take on a couple more commissions/projects on the side as I fundraise to represent Aotearoa at this years Prague Quadrennial in the Emerging Artists section!

I’ve got over 5-years experience in both costume and fashion design so I’ve got a good range of skills for making and mending. I will literally work with anything, anyone and everyone which I know can be a struggle to find the right person sometimes. If you want to check out more of my work, you can go to my website www.houseofhunters.org... or my Facebook/Instagram pages House of Hunters Clothing ☺️

So if you’ve got some things lying around the house that never quite fit right, or you’ve got an event/occasion/empty wardrobe that you need a garment for, you can email me at j_walker19@hotmail.com or text at 0220662190 to get chatting!
