Alterations & Tailoring
If your clothes don’t fit well, don’t meet your criteria, are outdated, or are ripped or broken, or if you have a special occasion where you want to look your best, we reshape, repair, and reimagine all your favorite clothing.
Reviews
They were able to take my military uniforms in and alter them for an award ceremony, and get the job done with very little notice. The ladies were super helpful and listened to my requests. Thanks sewBoise!

I have been in to sewBoise on 2 or 3 occasions. The staff are all incredibly nice and professional, definitely easy to work with. All of the work they have done has been on time and the quality of the work has been perfect!

sewBoise is in a convenient location with professional service in alterations. I brought a designer silk lined dress that needed to be taken in on both sides. The fit and stitching came out fabulous, the silk lining is seamless. Also for a small fee they were able to fit it into the schedule as a rush job. Totally reasonable pricing. All the staff was friendly and well dressed so they know fashion!

Logistics
For most alterations, turnaround time is about 10-14 days. However, if we’re having a particularly busy season, or if we need to special order a part, we’ll need more time. Contact us to check current turnaround times.
Make an appointment for a fitting, or if you have items that do not need to be tried on (zipper replacements, mending and repairs), you can make an appointment to come in and show us what needs to be done. Sometimes we can do a small repair while you wait.
If it’s after hours or you’re in a hurry, use our handy alterations dropbox located behind our yellow building. You are also welcome to drop your items to be dry-cleaned in the dropbox. Greenleaf Cleaners picks up/drops off at sewBoise on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
We can often accommodate expedited orders between 48 hours and our standard turnaround.
Pricing
There is a 30% RUSH fee applied to:
Items needed between 72 hours from drop-off and the date we are scheduling work to.
There is a 50% RUSH fee applied to:
Items needed between 24 and 72 hours from drop-off.
Items that need a part ordered are usually not eligible for rush service, but sometimes we can brainstorm together to find a workable solution.
Note: In order to help protect the health and safety of our customers and staff, we cannot accept unlaundered items for alteration or repair. For your convenience, we will gladly channel unlaundered garments through our preferred dry cleaner and include the fee in your invoice.
