Her Story

Over 12 years of sewing, one goal: a perfect fit

I’m a bridal seamstress with over 12 years of sewing experience. I specialize in all formalwear alterations: wedding gowns, bridesmaids, prom, homecoming, special occasion, and some menswear.

Whether it’s a hem the week of homecoming, a gown that needs to come in a couple of sizes, or the wedding-day touch-ups no one sees coming, my goal is the same — for you to feel completely at ease and look wonderful in what you’re wearing.

Based in Flint, I serve clients across Michigan, and I’m happy to travel to you for fittings and last-minute needs.

The Details

Where the work happens

Careful pinning, precise stitching and a well-stocked studio, from delicate beaded lace to full formal skirts.

“She was so sweet to work with! She offered advice on how to best handle the alterations and it turned out perfect. I’m so grateful she was able to help out on a short notice!”
Amber Butler
“I messaged her to ask if she could hem a dress I had received late and needed in 5 days and she fit me in and did the alteration right on the spot. Looks and fits great. Would highly recommend!”
Sarah Debusschere
“I can’t recommend Jensine enough. She does a beautiful job! She was kind, flexible with appointment times, and the cost was reasonable. The dress she altered had to be taken in on the sides (a couple sizes smaller), shortened and have a zipper placed instead of a corset. The dress fits perfectly now. You can’t go wrong with Sew Perfect Alterations!”
Leona Broecker
“My daughter’s homecoming dress was delivered a week before homecoming and it was a little big. I was in a panic trying to find an alteration place that was open due to it being Labor Day weekend. Sew Perfect Alterations got me in the same day and altered my daughter’s dress in an hour. Polite and very professional. Highly recommended.”
Julia Rose Papiez
“Jensine did all the alterations for my daughter’s prom dress and it was absolute perfection!”
