How to recognise a good workshop
Points that tell you in five minutes whether a workshop is worth your time.
- A fixed workshop on site — measuring, fittings and pickup at the same address.
- A clear price list, visible before the order.
- Honest scheduling: good workshops say no when time is too short.
- Their own machines for different fabrics — denim, crêpe, tulle, leather.
- A written note with a date on drop-off — no loose scraps of paper.
- A fitting before pickup, not later at home.
- No pressure for extras — you decide what gets altered.

Shortening jeans without losing the factory look
Jeans too long but too good to throw out? The challenge with denim is keeping the character — the original hem, the contrast topstitching, the faded edge. A workshop that knows denim shortens the leg and reattaches the original hem so the jeans look like they left the factory at your height.
