SEWING AND ALTERATIONS BY MARIGOLD SEWING
Sew You
I've been sewing for a couple years and decided to open my own alterations business after seeing a need in the Jacksonville, Illinois area. My customers can expect honesty and open dialog of expectations from both parties. Hit me up and we can do something great together!

MY STORY
I started sewing again after receiving a retro Sears Kenmore Machine from my mother-in-law for Christmas in 2019. I have to say that that gift changed my life. I did sewing projects for 4-H growing up but hardly finished any of them. Both my mom and mother-in-law encouraged me to sew again and answer any questions I had regarding my machine. That spring and summer I juggled a newborn, pandemic, toddler, and reading a gigantic book series as well as reteaching myself how to sew.
I started with baby bundles and then altering clothes I had around the house. The next year I started sewing clothes I wanted but didn't want to pay retail price for (because I'm a cheapo). I realized that I had some talent in morphing clothes I already had into new garments by making patterns out of them. I have made a lot of wonderful clothing and have a made hundreds of mistakes.
In January 2022, I was ready to put my name out there to sell my sewing products and provide alterations for my community. I went to a local sewing store and spoke with some friends, all of which told me there was a need for my services. Here I am putting myself out there to become a better seamstress and gain skills from the wonderful seamstresses around me.
I'm proud of this business I started and am willing to learn so much more to help those around me feel more confident in their clothes.
