Clothing or Handbag With a Worn-Out Lining
For a ripped garment lining: Whether it's in a coat or a skirt, the lining can be repaired with the help of the renegade seamstress. A small tear in a dress interior can usually be fixed for less than $10, but if the entire lining needs an overhaul, replacing it can run at least $75.

A sampling of how we can alter your pants:
• Length: Pant legs can usually be let down 1 1/2 inches. Ideally, hem pants up two inches
maximum (the proportions will be off if more than that is taken up).
• Rise: A tailor can take in or let out the rise as long as there is 3/4 inch of fabric to work with.
• Pockets: Pockets that gape can be sewn shut or removed. Pockets can be added to some seams.
• Waist: A tailor can take in the waist up to 1 1/2 inches at the back or along the side
seams. If pants are snug, usually 1/2 inch of fabric can be let out.
• Tapering: Slightly narrowing the legs is possible, but you can’t turn bell-bottoms into skinny pants without causing fit issues.
• Add extra belt loops.
