Hello and thank you for visiting MyTailorKit.com — your go-to resource for everything tailoring, sewing, and garment-making.
My name is Charles Franks, and I’m the founder, author, and the pair of skilled hands behind this website. With over 15 years of experience in tailoring, I created MyTailorKit.com to help fellow tailors, sewing enthusiasts, and curious beginners learn, grow, and thrive in this wonderful craft.
Why I Started This Blog
I still remember the first time I held a needle and thread — the sense of creation, the focus, the satisfaction of turning fabric into something beautiful and functional. Over the years, tailoring became more than a job or skill for me. It became a way of life. I’ve worked in small shops and large studios, stitched everything from school uniforms to wedding gowns, and made plenty of mistakes (the kind you never forget).
Through all those experiences, I learned lessons that you just don’t find in textbooks. I created this blog to share those lessons with you — the real tips, tools, and tricks that come from working in the field every day.
