"Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving."
Colossians 3:23-24
"I want to thank-you once again for the beautiful job you did on the attendant's dresses. All the girls felt you did an execptional job and felt the price was extremely reasonable.
- Amy"
"I just wanted to thank you for making such a beautiful dress for me. It was exactly like the picture I had in my mind. And I can't even count all the people that asked for your name after the wedding because they loved it too. Thank you for helping make our wedding day so perfect.
- Love, Kylee"
"It was such a beautiful and unique dress and I received SO many compliments on it! Especially from one of my mom's friends who used to teach sewing in high school and was just amazed. A lot of my friends loved the idea of having a dress that no one else in the world could have! So thank you again!
- Sincerely, Kelley"

Sewing For Over 30 Years

I have been sewing professionally since 1985. You can trust me to pay attention to detail. My concern is that you, the customer, are satisfied when the project is complete. I work on many kinds of sewing projects. Below are a few examples:

Alteration Approximate Cost*
Bridal gown hems $100 - $175
Formal gown hems $25 - $40
Press formal $20 - $40
Press bridal gown $75
Petticoat skirt rentals $20
Pants / skirt hems $15 - $25

Some people know how to sew and can follow pattern instructions but that doesn't mean they have success with fitting garments to a person's body shape. I prefer to think of myself as a sewing engineer who specializes in custom fitting.

Take your sewing needs to Pat Dornbos Dressmaking & Alterations located in my comfortable turn-of-the-century home on the outskirts of Hudsonville where you will be met with a friendly smile.
