About Me

My name is Pitsamai Jacobs and I have been working as a seamstress, dressmaker and Tailor for 40 years. I was born in Thailand and came to England in 2001. Shortly after arriving I set up my own business and built up a good reputation for quality alterations. I cater for everyday wear for both men and women as well as those items for special occasions such as proms. No item too small.
