About Dina

A lifetime of sewing, measured in the details.

Around 25 years of professional experience inform every fitting, repair and alteration Dina undertakes.

25+years of professional sewing experience

Professional experience

Skill developed through decades of real garment work.

Dina has worked professionally as a seamstress in Ukraine, Poland, Spain and Gibraltar.

Her experience covers everyday clothing as well as formal and specialist garments, giving her the practical judgement to understand how different fabrics and constructions behave.

Dina’s Sewing Place brings that experience into a small, personal Gibraltar workshop where customers deal directly with Dina from the first conversation to the finished alteration.

How Dina works

Personal service rather than production-line alterations.

Direct and personal

You discuss the garment with the person who will actually carry out the work.

Practical judgement

Dina explains what can be altered, what may not be worthwhile and what result is realistically achievable.

Quality first

The aim is a professional finish that respects the garment — not simply the quickest or cheapest possible alteration.

Dina’s approach to pricing

Skill, time and care all form part of the work.

When Dina quotes for a job, the price reflects the level of work required to produce the quality she is prepared to put her name to.

Made with care. Priced for quality.
