Needles & Pins was founded on a lifelong dedication to sewing, craftsmanship, and practical garment construction. Led by Reinet van Schalkwyk, the business draws on over 20 years of hands-on experience in sewing, alterations, and textile work.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tReinet studied needling as a school subject, which laid a strong technical foundation for her sewing skills. From a young age, she worked alongside her mother, assisting with sewing projects and completing needling work that helped develop precision, speed, and confidence in garment construction.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

She later completed a course through Martinique in basic design, gaining formal training in pattern reading, pattern adjustments, body shape considerations, and garment alterations. Through years of experience, she has learned that while patterns often share similarities, each one presents unique challenges. For this reason, she prefers working from approved patterns and modifying them carefully to achieve the best possible result.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tOver the years, Reinet has successfully altered and modified hundreds of dresses, pants, and shirts. She specializes in garment alterations, including wedding dresses and suits, focusing on refining fit rather than creating these items from scratch. In addition to clothing, Needles & Pins also creates and alters household textile items such as scatter cushions, tablecloths, and other custom fabric pieces.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tEvery project at Needles & Pins is guided by experience, attention to detail, and a practical understanding of fit, fabric, and function. The goal is always to deliver quality workmanship that meets real-life needs and exceeds expectations.\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
