Alterations Fitting - General (not a bridal gown)
During Idaho's staged opening, sewBoise is back to fixing the fit of your clothes! The appointments are spaced to allow us adequate time together, and enough time between clients to thoroughly sanitize the spaces and surfaces involved. We'll be wearing masks during your fitting, and ask you to do so as well - we have some clean loaners here if you don't have your own. Only one person will be allowed inside the building at a time, and pickups will all be curbside. If you would like a 2nd set of eyes, we can do Zoom or Facetime to involve loved ones!

Olivia Terry
Olivia has been sewing since she was 11 years old, when the pictures of bridal gowns caught her eye. Her mother signed her up for beginner sewing lessons with Erin, where she began to tackle many ambitious projects. Later when sewBoise opened in 2012, Olivia became the shop’s first assistant, making her the longest serving employee. Over the years, Olivia developed her sewing skills making vintage inspired dresses, and practicing alteration techniques by upgrading thrift store finds. At the shop, she became more involved in more challenging tasks, teaching sewing lessons and assisting in custom sewing. Eventually, Olivia’s interest in sewing made a full circle when she became the shop’s summer bridal specialist in 2018. She loves meeting each bride and feels honored to contribute to their special day by making their dress fit perfectly.
