Services built around
the way you live

Every garment tells a story. We help you preserve, restore, and refine it — with skill that shows in every detail.

01

Alterations & Fitting

Tailored fits for every body. Pants, dresses, suits — we adjust seams, darts, and hems so your clothes actually feel like yours.

02

Zipper Replacement

Broken zipper ruining your favorite jacket or bag? We replace them cleanly — matching fabric, color, and function every time.

03

Home & Upholstery

Curtains, cushions, slipcovers — we work with the fabrics in your home to refresh spaces without the full replacement cost.

04

Mending & Repairs

Don't replace it — restore it. Patches, tears, frayed hems, and worn seams get the same careful attention as a brand-new garment.

05

Wedding & Formal Wear

Your special day deserves the perfect fit. We handle delicate fabrics, intricate details, and last-minute alterations with care.

06

Custom Sewing

Have an idea? We bring it to life — from simple projects to fully custom pieces, working with you from concept to finished stitch.

A lifetime of
learning, one stitch
at a time

Kathy Sews It All started from a simple belief: the best clothes are the ones that fit — and the ones you keep because they mean something. Growing up with a needle and thread, she learned that sewing isn't just about fixing things. It's about preserving what matters.

Located right here in Hartwick, Iowa, we've spent over a decade helping neighbors make their clothing work harder for them. Whether it's a wedding dress that needs to be let out, a favorite pair of jeans with a torn seam, or curtains that need to match a new room — every project gets the same honest, careful attention.

No rush jobs. No shortcuts. Just skilled hands and a real commitment to doing it right.

I brought in a dress that was completely wrong for my body, and Kathy transformed it. It fits like it was custom-made. I've never had anyone do alterations this well.
