Sew it up is a professional clothing alternation business located in Burnsville, Minnesota. We specialize in Bridal Alterations, including but not limited to wedding gowns, bridal party attire, suits/tuxedos, etc. We are a one-women shop, ran solely by alterations specialist, Kathy Peterson. Sew it up started in 2005 in the basement of our home in Hermantown, Minnesota.
Not long after moving into our Hermantown home, the Army called my husband Blaine to active duty. All we knew at that time was that he could possibly be gone for 12-18 months on deployment to Iraq. I was working for an alterations company in Cloquet, MN at the time and my husband encouraged me to purchase the equipment and supplies needed to run a business out of our home while he was gone.

Report
I am a full service bridal alteration professional with four decades of experience! I enjoy working on every type of dress from bridal gowns, bridesmaid dresses to flower girl and mother of the bride dresses. I can make any garment feel "made-for-you". I also do design changes like creating a sweetheart neckline from a straight across one, creating straps or sleeves for a strapless dress, and changing a zipper back into a corset back.
Price List
Report
Each garment is unique, so I am giving very general price ranges here. The price could be different when we see the item due to it's construction and the amount of work it will take to complete the job in a professional manner. Wedding gowns usually take 6 weeks minimum to complete with three (3) scheduled fittings during that time.

Thank you so much for your help altering my wedding dress. Many of our guests commented on the perfect fit and it's all thanks to your talent! Thanks for also taking the time to show me how to tie the perfect bow. I used it about 225 times on our wedding favors and I taught two more people how to do it for my dress.
