Custom Sewing by Heather is an award-winning custom alteration and sewing specialist based in Woodbury, Minnesota. As a child, owner Heather Baldridge loved to sew her own clothing. She turned that passion into a business, and more than 20 years later Heather still takes pride in finding the perfect feel, fit, and look for every customer. Whether you have a new dress that needs customization or an inherited gown that you want to modernize, Heather and her highly skilled team will make your dreams come true.
Services Offered Custom Sewing By Heather offers services to the bride, bridesmaids, mother of the bride, mother of the groom, and flower girls — no matter how your wedding party is organized, your sartorial needs will be taken care of. Heather can also create custom wedding gowns, whether from scratch or by altering an existing dress. She can add beadwork or bustles to a gown or modernize an heirloom dress. And if you need a garter or veil, Heather has you covered there as well.
I am one of three daughters in my family. My younger sister was recommended to go to Heather 3 years ago when she got engaged and we had such a great experience that my older sister went a year later when she was engaged. Needless to say, I didn't even need to think about where I would go when I got engaged this April. She is kind, responsive, always works the hardest to fit you in even with a crazy busy schedule, and her work is amazing. After going to her for bridesmaid dresses and my wedding dress, I will always be suggesting her when anyone asks about dress alterations.

Professional, Personable and Talented!
Heather was extremely professional while being a true master of her craft. I bought my wedding dress off the floor- it was multiple sizes too big and I wanted a lot of changes- Heather took all of my requests and basically created a new dress for me- the end result was BEAUTIFUL.
While planning a wedding, vendors can make business seem very transactional- Heather is the perfect balance between professional and personable. I enjoyed working with her and will recommend her to all my family and friends.

Only one to trust with your wedding dress
Heather was amazing to work with from beginning to end! When I first picked up my dress (prior to alterations) I was so worried as it did not fit at all. Heather transformed my dress into what I was envisioning for my wedding day. My dress needed A LOT of work and she made it go so smoothly and seem effortless. She even made sure to take the time to finish my dress early so I did not have to drive to MN for another appointment. (I am from WI). She went above and beyond for me and my wedding dress! I would highly recommend her to any bride!
Heather is not only professional, welcoming and friendly, but does amazing work! Many of my clients have gone to her for alterations and all have been very pleased. The last thing you want on your wedding day is to be fussing with a dress that doesn't fit you properly. Great alterations can make your wedding gown go from great to outstanding. I would highly recommend her to anyone.
