The Travelling Seamstress

We are thrilled to welcome Margaret Aldrich, The Traveling Seamstress, as a new seasonal resident & member of The Bird & Bear Collective!

If you are looking for an experienced seamstress to help with prom / gown / costume alterations or other types of apparel adjustments, there is truly no one better!

A few years ago I booked an appointment with Margaret for my daughter’s prom dress. She usually travels house to house for the appointments, but I was working all of the time, so we asked her to come to the Bird & Bear for the appointment. That invitation and experience has opened the door to the invitation and experience we are now opening doors to for you!

You can book an appointment on any of the following dates:

• 3/26 (afternoon/evening)

• 3/27 (afternoon/evening)

• 4/4 (all day)

• 4/18 (all day)

• 4/23 (all day)

{or by availability}

With over 20 years of professional experience and advanced training, she provides personalized, high-quality garment solutions ranging from simple adjustments, to complex redesigns for prom dresses, costume and evening wear.

“I believe in a body-positive approach to fashion. If a garment does not fit correctly, I aim to reframe that experience through honest, empathetic, and efficient alterations that allow your confidence to shine. Whether you are looking to refresh a gown or need an expert assessment for a new one, I look forward to collaborating with you.” {Margaret Aldrich, The Traveling Seamstress}

Welcome {back} Margaret, we are so glad you are here!
