Pin the jacket sleeve on the wearer, not against an old measurement

For an alterations shop, the actual garment matters: lining, cuff buttons, seam allowance and the next fitting shape the job. The tailoring desk keeps customer measurements, order notes, cost assumptions and fitting dates together; the maker judges the cut and fit.

  1. Keep body and garment measures separate

    The customer record shows earlier body measurements. The sleeve length pinned on this jacket belongs in this job's note as well.

  2. Price after looking inside

    Fabric, lining, service and labour time can inform the estimate. A tailor must inspect the cuff before deciding the actual work.

  3. Make time for fitting

    Fitting dates and job status can be recorded. Agree collection after checking the workload and the garment on the wearer.

How Sektura helps with everyday work

A jacket with long sleeves and cuff buttons

Example: A customer brings a lined jacket. Its sleeves cover her wrists and each cuff has four buttons. She hopes to wear it at an event in two weeks.

  1. Pin on the wearer

    The tailor checks both arms while the jacket is worn and pins the new length rather than relying on a stored body measure.

  2. Inspect the construction

    She checks lining, button spacing and hem allowance, notes the work on the order, and then estimates time and price.

  3. Book a fitting

    She agrees a fitting before the event and checks sleeve length and shape on the worn jacket after the alteration.

The workshop has a measurement, construction notes and a next date. The tailor decides whether the cuff can be shortened as requested.

Getting started is simple

How it works

  1. Create a sample customer and job

    Use fictional customer details and record a request to shorten jacket sleeves.

  2. Describe the sample garment

    Enter pinned lengths for both sleeves, lining, four cuff buttons and checked seam allowance in the job note.

  3. Try costing and fitting

    Apply your own service and labour assumptions, set a sample fitting before collection and review the status.

Questions before you start

Will stored body measures be enough?
No. Cut, shoulder, fabric and wear change the fit. Pin this garment and check it at the fitting.
Does the desk know the final cost automatically?
No. Lining, working buttonholes, allowance and finish change the work; the shop checks hours and price.
Are fitting reminders sent automatically?
Dates can be recorded. Sending messages requires a configured and authorised service; agree the date with the customer directly.

Before accepting the job

Check whether buttonholes work and whether the alteration and promised date are feasible on this jacket.
