About Seams & Sew

Seams & Sew is a well-established family business on Laygate in South Shields, best known for high-quality alterations and repairs to clothing, curtains and leather, alongside a dry-cleaning service. Dry cleaning is offered with a collection and delivery option on set days each week, making it convenient for customers who cannot easily drop items in.

The shop also carries out dressmaking-style alterations and provides a fancy-dress costume hire service by appointment, so it functions as a general clothing-care and repair service for the town rather than a laundrette alone. Being a long-standing local business, it has built a reputation for careful workmanship on everything from simple hemming and repairs to more involved alteration jobs, serving households and individuals across South Shields.
