I have been working in the tailoring industry for 30 years, during which I have crafted both women’s and men’s clothing. For 4 years, I specialized in sewing leather garments. Over the past 13 years, I have focused on clothing alterations, which bring me immense satisfaction and allow me to express my creativity by transforming dresses and other garments. However, my greatest joy comes from the happiness of my satisfied clients.
