At Atelier Yvicor, we design, make and transform garments at our workshop in Sant Feliu de Codines, Barcelona. Before starting, we discuss how you will use the garment, the design and the changes you need so we can decide how to approach the work.
Craftsmanship lies in these decisions: studying how a fabric drapes, choosing a seam or checking an adjustment. We combine machinery and handwork according to the garment's needs, and explain the options before making or altering it.

📖 Curious what the process looks like before you decide? We walk through it step by step in how the process of creating a made-to-measure dress works.
Artisan design and tailoring
For a new garment, we study the design, choose fabrics with you and develop the pattern with your measurements and the intended use in mind. If you're unsure whether it's worth taking this step, we go into detail in is it worth having a made-to-measure dress made.
During construction, we check the joins, fit and finishes to see how the garment matches the agreed design.
Unique garments created for you
We believe fashion should be personal. That's why we work by appointment, where we can learn about your needs, take measurements and advise you on fabrics, finishes and design possibilities.
Whether you're looking for a garment for a special occasion or a piece for everyday wear, our atelier can help you create it. For the little ones at home we also make artisan children's fashion, and explain what to check before choosing handcrafted children’s clothing.
Garment transformation and personalisation
Besides tailoring from scratch, we also transform existing garments to give them a new life. We adjust sizes, modify designs and make changes that let you keep garments with sentimental or aesthetic value — a philosophy we explain in what upcycling is and why it's changing the way we understand fashion.
Sewing atelier in Barcelona and surrounding areas
If you are coming from Barcelona or a nearby town, we arrange the appointments your order needs at our workshop in Sant Feliu de Codines. We discuss the design or alteration with you and organise the necessary measurements and fittings.
An atelier for individuals and brands
From Sant Feliu de Codines, we handle made-to-measure orders and projects involving pattern making, prototypes and small collections. For small production runs, we work from 10 units per sewing pattern and colour; as a guide, a prototype may take around one week and a small collection around one month, always depending on the project. You can explore the options in tailoring and services or browse baby clothes and accessories.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need an appointment to visit the atelier?
Yes. Book an appointment by WhatsApp or phone so we can prepare for your visit and discuss the project with you.
How long does an order take?
As a guide, a simple alteration may be ready in a few days, while a made-to-measure garment may need several weeks, including fittings and adjustments. We confirm the timescale when preparing the quote, depending on the work, materials and workshop availability.
Do you work with clients from outside Barcelona?
Yes. For personal garments, we coordinate the appointments needed for measurements and fittings. Brand projects can be organised remotely, agreeing documentation, sample reviews and deliveries according to the order.
What's the difference between an alteration and made-to-measure tailoring?
An alteration modifies a garment that already exists to improve its fit; made-to-measure tailoring creates a new garment from scratch, designed specifically for you. Both services share the same artisan care.
