If you're looking for a fantastic tailor in the New Westminster area, Needle Art is the place to go. An excellent tailor. Very reasonable and fast. I needed some shirts shortened and he did it in a jiffy and charged me a very reasonable rate. I have a lot of shirts that need shortening, but decided to first try him with two, just in case. Now that I see his work, I'm heading there with all the rest. Friendly, polite, and hardworking.

Exceptional customer service. I was very impressed and satisfied with the quality of work that was provided and great pricing. I highly recommend them for any alterations and work needed done. They are at the top of my list for any alterations needed in the future.
I truly wish this business continued success. The quality of the tailoring is exceptional, and every garment is fitted with great precision. As a tailor myself, I trust them completely for alterations and custom fitting. The tailor is highly experienced, reliable, and always available when needed.

Sajad. One tailor, every stitch by hand and by eye.
Needle Art is Sajad's small, owner-run tailoring shop on Agnes Street in downtown New Westminster. He trained and worked as a tailor in Pakistan and Afghanistan before opening here, which is why traditional Afghan and Pakistani garments are a specialty alongside everyday Western alterations.
Customers keep using the same three words about him: polite, on time, reasonable. That is the whole approach. You get a clear price before any work starts, a realistic date, and a garment that fits.
Downtown New Westminster, a short walk from Columbia Station.

Ready when you are.
