Specialties
I am a trained sewist with a passion for custom creating clothing and the occasional costume.
I believe that clothing should fit all bodies. I have extensive knowledge of alterations and adjustments, and love to help people feel and their best while looking their best.
I studied fashion at Seneca College in Toronto, but I’ve been sewing for much, much longer than that. I began sewing small projects as a young child, and I also knit, crochet, and make my own patterns.
I am happy to discuss any ideas, and make them a reality for you.
History
Established in 2022.
While I have been sewing for over 2 decades, I established myself as an actual business in July of 2022. I am thrilled to finally be doing something I thoroughly enjoy full time.
Meet the Business Owner: Shan T.
My name is Shan and I am the owner, designer, and seamstress behind Shan Stitches.
I began sewing around the age of 5, having grown up amongst many sewists. I also learned to crochet at a young age, and taught myself to knit as a teenager. I have been designing and making accessories and clothing since a young age.
While I am mostly self taught, I do also have formal training as I attended the fashion program at Seneca college in Toronto.
I started Shan Stitches as a full time venture in the summer of 2022. I firmly believe that clothing should fit every body, regardless of industry standard sizing. I want people to feel confident and comfortable in their clothes.
I provide a full range of alterations and repair services, as well as custom sewing. I strive to keep my prices reasonable and accessible to all.
I offer pickup and delivery services in the Kingston area.
