Stitched

Tailor

I’m Skye Blue, owner and primary seamstress/tailor/artist at Stitched.

I learned to sew from my grandmother, a sophisticated seamstress in her own right. After earning a Bachelor’s in Textiles from the Savannah College of Art and Design, I founded Stitched (formerly called Skye Blue Can Sew) in 2007.

My experience includes building costumes for a Broadway-themed show tunes performance, wardrobe for a live casino show, managing the backstage of local fashion shows, sewing for the National Geographic Channel, and creation of a quilt installed in Portland's City Hall for Decemberists’ Day (featured in Pieces of Portland). I assist artists with installations, and have textile work in the permanent collection of the Museum of Contemporary Craft. I teach and speak locally, most recently at the Portland Art Museum. In addition to being a seamstress, I consider myself a maker and DIY craftsperson working in fine art, weaving, crochet, knit, spinning… you name it. Read more

    This review is for my husband, he needed a suit altered after losing a bunch of weight. We were worried it would cost an arm and a leg since he waited until the last minute to reach out but it was super reasonably priced and the service was great! We'll definitely be back with more business! Thanks again for great quality work and friendly service!

    Skye did a beautiful job on my wedding dress, handling a complex task with aplomb and meeting a tight deadline when a previous seamstress could not. Her rates are very reasonable, and she is kind and professional - I highly recommend her work.

    I had ordered some jeans on Amazon that were perfect except they were too long. I didn't want to go through the hassle of returning them to find they didn't have the right size, so I searched Yelp for a nearby tailor. I found Skye Blue and made an appointment. Communication was prompt and she finished my project on time and it looks great. I'd recommend her to anyone.

    I needed to get some measurements done for a bridesmaid dress for a wedding next year, and Skye Blue got me in quickly, measured everything I needed, and did it in record time for a great price. I'll be sure to go back as soon as I receive the dress - I know she'll make me look great! Kind, professional, great service!
