Clothing Alterations | Tailoring
Pete Sews offers a full clothing aIterations service, specialising in suit fitting and tailoring. Bring your garments in, and we’ll chat about how to get you looking your best – whether it’s for a fancy occasion, a job interview or to impress your neighbours while you’re taking out the bins. I’ve got you covered! Literally.
I have been working exclusively as a clothing alteration specialist for four years now, which means I’ve spent a lot of hours thinking about inseams and obsessing over the finicky details.
It’s incredible what a well-placed stitch can do! You’ll be gobsmacked at how a properly fitted garment can keep your pants out of puddles or your sleeves out of gravy. It’s practically sorcery.
Clothing alterations start at $35, pricing is based on the type of garment and the complexity of the alteration. While I am able to provide some exact quotes many garments require a fitting and inspection before I can quote.
Alteration & Repairs example prices:
Hemming, zippers, simple alterations from $35
Jacket sleeve alterations from $105
Full suit tailoring from $175
See? Not that bad!
Call Pete on 0410 178 801 to enquire about your alteration—or drop into the shop.
Turnaround times vary throughout the year, I will give you a specific time when I know more about your job.

Express clothing REpairs & Alteration services
The Tailor Swift
EXPRESS REPAIRS & ALTERATIONS PAY EXTRA $30 AND SKIP THE WAIT
For those who need their alterations swiftly, we offer a while-you-wait service. Your lack of organisation is my emergency! Need your pants hemmed in a hurry? Your suit taken in for your shotgun wedding? I’ve got you. I work while you wait, and you can sip tea, pat the dog… or maybe get yourself bloody organised? Just a thought.
It costs just $30 extra to skip the line and watch me work my magic. You just have to endure my bad jokes, like this whole relentless Tailor Swift pun. Sorry.
The Tailor Swiftless
48HR TURNAROUND - FAST REPAIRS & ALTERATIONS PAY EXTRA $15
Not in a rush? Enjoy our slightly slower, but still speedy 48-hour service. Any alterations up to $140 in value, finished in 48 hours for only $15 extra.
Note: The availability of The Tailor Swift express clothing alteration & repair service depends on my workload, caffeine intake and whether Mercury is in retrograde. It’s not always available year-round, but when it is, oh boy is it magic.
Pro tip: When you come in for a fitting, don’t forget the essentials—shoes, shirts, belts, bras, your emotional support socks: whatever you’re planning to wear with the garment on the big day. This is especially important for wedding and formal wear because we need to make sure those weird emotional support socks aren’t showing.
Before you drop by my shop, take a quick stroll through your wardrobe. You might find some forgotten treasures that need a little TLC—because, let’s be honest, that jacket from 2012 still grooves in the right crowds.
