I didnt really know what I was looking for but the shop assistant was very helpful and accommodating. Despite being an older lady she was quite happy to run up and down ladders retrieving products for me to have a look at. The shop was very well laid out despite its small size and awkward dimensions. Needlework isnt something that I am personally interested but I easily found the perfect gift and a look around the shop certainly captured my imagination. If I was looking for similar goods in the future this would be the first place I would visit.

In less than three hours the trousers were tried-on, pinned to the correct new size, professionally altered and ready to collect. I've never tried this kind of service before and was a little nervous. I needn't have worried. Stitch in Time was a revelation. Highly recommended. They do all sorts of tailoring and alterations, even make up curtains from scratch. I've added a couple of photos that list what they do and the 2016 prices.
