Winter Coat Repair – Sewing Machines Los Angeles

I purchased some black wool material at a local fabric/sewing store. Be sure to measure the coat before going to the store. I told the seamstress at the fabric store what I needed the material for and was given information on how to do the job.

Upon getting home, I measured the length of the front of the coat. Measured the width I would need for front and back of the coat edge. Cut material for both front sides of the coat. I used a sewing machine to sew the material on the coat. After noticing how good it looked, I decided to repair another coat.

My forest green coat needed the cuffs and front edging on both sides repaired. I purchased blanket binding and black wool material for it. Again measured the length of the coat and measured for the width of front and back of coat edge. Sewed it on a sewing machine. The cuffs I used the blanket binding and performed hand sewing of the cuffs. Delightfully saving of money and the two coats! Then I decided to repair a ski parka and fall jacket with binding of the cuffs, collar and bottom with material of like quality. I performed hand sewing on ski parka and fall jacket as it is easier than using the sewing machine.

Now happily will be able to wear all four coats and it looks great. Gaining another couple of years of wear. If you don’t know if you are able to do it yourself, check out what the cost of taking your coats or jackets to a seamstress for repair. It might be well worth it.
