Gender and size-inclusive tailoring, mending,
& custom designs
based in Brooklyn, New York
Welcome to Birdhouse Tailoring, a space where finding joy and embodiment through the clothes you wear is an attainable reality, not a distant dream. Going to the tailor can be more than just comfortable — it can also be fun, empowering, and creative.
Services
Whether you need a simple hem, the waistband of some pants taken in, or the entire fit of an outfit adjusted, I’ve got you covered. Suiting and other formalwear alterations are also available.
If your favorite sweater has a hole in it, or your well-loved jeans finally tore in that one spot that’s been threatening to give out for months, I can fix it for you. Both visible and invisible mending options are available.
You know that one shirt in your closet that you wish had a ruffled collar, the dress from your favorite movie you wish you could own in real life, or the stain on that pair of pants you wish you could cover up? Pop in for a fitting — all of this and more is possible.
Schedule a fitting
Let’s chat about your vision for your clothes and make it a reality. The first step is booking a fitting so we can see what we’re working with.
Hi, I’m Eliza!
(they/she)
I’m a fiber artist, self-taught tailor, and the founder of Birdhouse Tailoring. I know that for many queer people and folks excluded from generic, “one-size-fits-all” clothing sizing, getting clothes tailored can be an emotionally fraught, uncomfortable, or unsatisfying experience. That’s why, when I left my job in journalism in 2024 to pursue my love of sewing, I knew I wanted to create a space where everyone can feel safe and celebrated. Birdhouse Tailoring is open to everybody, but I’m particularly passionate about being a part of the process of helping queer people feel more connected to themselves, their bodies, and their identities via the clothes they wear.
