Our Services
The first thing people ask when they find out InKandycence is a sewing studio in Chattanooga,
"Do you provide alterations?"
Starting January 1, 2025, the answer to that question will be a firm "No."
​
Our goal at InKandycence is to demonstrate how sewing is so much more than alterations and repairs.
We are breaking our personal barriers to tackle more creative and imaginative endeavors.
We can't wait to inspire all the other sewists out there who want to break those machines out from the closet and begin to CREATE!

Classes
The main focus of InKandcyence Studio is the Made By Me Academy sewing education program
We want to make home sewing cool again, and share all the fantastic benefits of this dynamic artform.
​
We specialize in teaching young and old, beginner to advanced students how to get successful results with a home sewing machine for their clothing, craft, and costume projects.
Costuming
Currently under development, the Studio is looking forward to launching our specialty Costume Services in Summer 2025
Stay tuned. Cosplay, costumes, theatre, and imaginative artistic photography are all areas we are looking forward to exploring in 2025. It will take time to start a collection, but we look forward to debuting a few new designs in Summer 2025, and taking orders in time for Halloween.
Shopping
Introducing the InKandycence Gift Boutique, opening online in Spring 2025
We make all kinds of imaginative, beautifully crafted things, and they make great original one of a kind gifts. It has taken a while but now a modestly sized collection has formed and we look forward to launching in late Spring 2025.
Custom Sewing
The Studio will take a Sabbatical from Custom Sewing Assignments for the entirety of 2025
For years we have enjoyed making your custom dress and bridal creations, but the time has come to learn and explore other areas of sewing interest.
This change helps in two ways. It provides time to expand our knowledge and areas of expertise. It also gives us a chance to avoid creative burnout.
​
However we do anticipate a time when we will resume our custom sewing services in the future, and hopefully with new sources of inspiration and newly learned advanced techniques.
Alterations...
As of December 31, 2024, the studio will discontinue Dress and Wardrobe Alterations permanently
While we do not anticipate restarting these types of services in the future, we thank all of you who have been such loyal patrons of these services.
​
Just because we are no longer available to mend or hem your wardrobe doesn't mean you can no longer support or possibly need us in the future. We hope you will keep us in mind for classes, crafts, and costumes. Thank you again.
