First fitting
Bring the garment, the shoes and the layers you will wear.
How we sew differently
An honest tailor, built on care and punctuality.
Most people have heard of a cheap quote that doubled once the garment was already unpicked on the bench. Thimble Works was built in Columbus to be the opposite.
What sets our tailors apart
Full-time tailors, careful fittings and a clean, well-kept workroom.
Every tailor at a Thimble Works bench is a full-time employee covered by workers' compensation and trained in pinning, hand finishing, invisible mending and calm, respectful fittings. For bridal gowns, suits and coats we pin the garment on you with the shoes and layers you will wear, so the right alteration is planned from the start. Each bench carries freshly oiled machines, matched thread in hundreds of colours, silk and cotton linings, hand needles, tailor's chalk and a full steam press.
Written ticket
An itemised price and a collection date before any cut.
Final try-on
Pressed, checked on you and adjusted wherever it needs it.
Care, cloth & garment cover
Coverage explained before you book.
Thimble Works keeps business liability and garment-in-care cover for every piece left on our rails, plus full workers' compensation for our team. What we can and cannot promise on fragile, vintage or already weakened cloth is explained in writing on your ticket before any work begins.
