I am a passionate seamstress and the founder of Die Mobile Schneiderei Fadenflitzer. For me, tailoring is more than a profession – it’s a craft I genuinely care about. I enjoy giving clothes a second chance, improving their fit and helping my customers enjoy their favourite pieces for longer. There is something very rewarding about taking a garment that is damaged or no longer fits properly and making it wearable and loved again, with professional craftsmanship and a personal approach.

My professional roots are in leather craftsmanship, which is why I specialise in the more demanding alteration and repair of leather clothing. Beyond leather repair, I combine traditional tailoring skills with modern techniques. I offer professional fit alterations for jackets and trousers and enhance garments – such as shirt collars or dresses – with high-quality, custom embroidery.

Creative customisation and textile upcycling are also an important part of my work. I enjoy transforming older or unused garments through carefully considered alterations and creative details, giving them a new look and, ideally, many more years of use.

I particularly enjoy completely restoring favourite jackets. An older leather jacket can be given a new lease of life by replacing the lining, renewing the knitted cuffs or fitting a new zipper. Seeing the finished piece being worn and appreciated again is always very satisfying. Jeans repair is another area I especially enjoy. Whether it’s a larger tear or denim that has become thin and worn over time, I work to repair and reinforce the fabric so that the result is durable and, wherever possible, almost invisible. I also enjoy using embroidery to personalise clothing and give individual pieces their own character.

Every piece of clothing has its own story. Preserving that story and helping people value and wear their clothes for longer is an important motivation for my work. Through professional clothing repair, alterations and upcycling, I want to contribute to a more thoughtful and sustainable way of enjoying fashion.

The concept behind Repair Rebels immediately appealed to me because it reflects my own philosophy: repair rather than throw away. With my mobile tailoring service, Die Mobile Schneiderei Fadenflitzer, I want to be part of a network that makes traditional craftsmanship accessible in a modern and digital way. Professional repair requires experience, skills and craftsmanship. By combining these qualities with convenient digital services, we can make it easier for more people to repair their clothes and keep them in use for longer.

I have been teaching sewing courses and workshops for more than 20 years in different cities and really enjoy sharing my knowledge and experience with others. My courses are suitable for both beginners and more experienced sewers. Alongside traditional sewing classes, I offer pattern-making courses and specialist workshops, for example for carnival costumes. One of my main areas of focus is pattern adjustment and fit. The aim is not simply to sew a garment, but to understand how it can be adapted so that the finished piece fits properly and feels almost made to measure. Passing on these skills and inspiring others to appreciate the value of craftsmanship is an important part of my work.
