A zero-waste studio for

slow fashion & alterations

 

this studio is here to help you create the heirloom clothing of your dreams- valuing sustainability every step of the way.

 

I’m a tailor all about craftsmanship, little details, the heartfelt and the handmade.

Since 2015, I’ve helped clients from Hawaii to New York develop the clothing of their dreams.

Locally in Centennial, CO I provide custom clothing services and high-quality alterations. I specialize in women’s, kid’s, upcycling and clothing restoration.

 

A bit more about me

Headshot of Patternmaker Lizzy

lizzy chitamitre

I started this company to be a true resource for slow fashion founders & the eco-friendly. I honed my patternmaking and sewing skills in London, interning for British fashion house Erdem. Recently, a client of mine had a 100% sell through rate for the first 5 months after working with me. I’m all about return on investment.

When I’m not crafting timeless patterns, I’m reading my favorite issue of Lula Magazine, studying vintage hat patterns, and blowing dandelions with my littles. I’m a mom of two daughters, trying my best to leave the world a better place. (Can you relate?) Send me a message and let me know why you value sustainability.

    The Toiling Process

    For toiling or mock-ups, I partner with local designers as part of a cloth swap- rather than purchasing new. If purchasing toiling fabric is needed, a certified fabric, such as GOTS, is chosen.

  • Spools of scanfil thread in white, black and lilac

    CERTIFIED SCANFIL GOTS THREAD

    I use 100% GOTS-certified supima and organic cotton Scanfil thread, available gratis in black, white and select colors.

    Closed Loop

    I compost 100% natural fabrics and can help my clients make their products compost-friendly. I love patternmaking add-on products that maximizes fabric usage.

    zero-waste scrap system

    Even the smallest scraps are repurposed. Unusable scraps are shredded for interior stuffing or composted.
