About

LaraTailored is a custom apparel and alterations business that aims to help people buy less and keep clothing longer by encouraging upcycling, thrifting, altering, and learning to sew clothing instead of throwing clothes away and buying new. 

I also teach adult and children's sewing lessons. I currently offer 1-on-1 or group sewing lessons. Students learn how to use a sewing machine and complete a project of their choosing.

My business values quality and community. Each item is made or altered with care, using tried and true sewing techniques that ensures the garment structure will last, and I aim to make every client feel welcomed like a good friend and leave feeling confident with their new look.

Whatever your sewing needs, I can help you or at least send you in the right direction. Can’t wait to hear from you!
