Stitch it Bernie

The skill of using a needle and thread to create garments is something I have  loved all my life. I have been sewing since I was a child and have experience of all types of fabrics and trained  in industry from expert drapers and seamstresses.

I am never happier than when I am creating something beautiful from fabric, whether that is bespoke christening gowns available to ship worldwide from my online store or  bridal alterations to a beautiful gown for a brides special day.

Stitichitbernie is based in Ballybofey Co. Donegal about 2 minutes away from the renowned Mc Elhinneys store, I worked there in their bridal alterations department during my journey to set up StitichIt Bernie and become self employed.  Located on main street Ballybofey 

I provide ladies and gents alterations, too long, too short, too tight I can make it just right.

Repairing and replacing zips, replace lining, taper legs, repair rips, I can  also create any garment without pattern to your measurements and specifications.

You provide me with a picture or sketch and I can produce  a garment  unique to you, to suit your shape and silhouette.

During lock down when my hands were idle I started creating beautiful handmade bespoke Christening gowns, A family heirloom for future generations . Which will hold memories of life through the ages.

One of my most popular services is the redesign of wedding or communion dress into a unique christening gown. This can be a very personal, and emotional experience, I have been privileged to be part of this  beautiful ongoing story .

The process includes discussion on the vision for the garment and with every stitch a new story is been written. Connecting to another time, linking the fabric to new memories in unique garment and carrying on this special family tradition is something I am very honoured to be part of.

Thank you for visiting stitchitbernie.com and I look forward to repairing or creating something beautiful for you in the future.
