Hello, East Coast friends!
I’m Cathy Macfarlane, the stitcher behind 1st 4 Sewing, and I’m thrilled to announce my expansion to the North East—serving St Helens to St Marys with a convenient, mobile sewing service. After years of crafting for clients, I'm hitting the road to bring y 30+ years of fashion design and alterations expertise right to your doorstep!
Convenience at Your Fingertips
Why wait in a workshop when I can come to you? 1st 4 Sewing is now fully mobile, making it easier than ever to get your sewing needs sorted. From St Helens to Scamander, Beaumaris to St Marys, I’ll zip around for pick-ups, fittings, and drop-offs—tailored to your schedule. It’s all about saving you time and effort, whether you’re prepping for a big event or just need a quick hem. With a call or email, I’m there—your personal seamstress on wheels!
Find Me at the St Helens Saturday Market!
Starting late April, I’ll also set up shop at the weekly St Helens Saturday Market—a handy spot to drop off your sewing projects and collect finished items, with no extra cost. Need a skirt resized? A jacket patched? Or maybe a custom piece for a special day? Pop by my stall, have a chat, and let me work my magic. It’s the perfect way to blend market fun with wardrobe fixes—grab a coffee, browse, and leave the stitching to me!
What I Offer
With over three decades of patternmaking and design under my belt, 1st 4 Sewing delivers quality and care, wherever you are. My mobile service includes:
- Alterations: Hems, repairs, resizing—keeping your favorites fitting perfectly.
- Custom Designs: Recreating cherished garments or crafting one-offs for any occasion.
- Quick Fixes: Zippers, buttons, patches—small jobs, big results.
From everyday wear to standout pieces, I’ve stitched for families, brides, and even outdoor brands—now, I’m here to make the East Coast shine, one seam at a time.
St Helens to St Marys—We’re Covered!
Based in St Marys (with a St Helens move on the horizon), I’m servicing the North East with ease. My mobile service comes with a small call-out fee—just $20 around St Helens or St Marys, and $30 for Scamander, Beaumaris, or Bicheno—to bring the convenience to you.
