Yes, Bumby can alter you existing wool. As Bumby grows, we need to limit some of the more time consuming project. Alterations can often take too much time away from our standard orders. But, as you may know, we love to take care of our Flock. So as a compromise, here you will find a list of the alterations we are still able to do. We can not take off waistbands or alter the hips, as those 2 things take much longer than most would expect.
IMPORTANT: When shipping your wool, please put warranty repair as the reason for the shipment. Country of origin is Canada. CUSMA harmonized tax code is 6209.20. Anything valued over $20 being imported into Canada can be subject to customs and tax. Total Packages (not each item but all of them added together) valued at under $20 or stated as warranty repair are exempt from these fees. Sometimes if the package is valued over $20 and listed as warranty repair the customs worker still charges the fees. Any fees charged will be applied to the sender.

Please understand that we take our jobs very seriously and honour you and your wool. We will always do our very best to alter your used wool to your requests. All sales are final. There is a level of trust between us both to alter your goodies. Thank you for your understanding. Also please clean your wool, preferably stripped and unscented. Heavily lanolized wool with heavy scents can be harder to work with and effect sewing.
Please include notes with your name and any details in the package.
Alterations:
Hi Alyssa, we only alter garments made by us for a few reasons. I believe that TC does repairs and there are some others that have made it a business to repair clothing. I am very sorry, but we are happy to work on Bumby garments in the furture.

Machine wash wool?
Doesn’t that sound like a dream? Well lets make it a reality. We have partnered with Unicorn Laundry Care products because they are the best product I have found for our wool. Find a retailer near you or in our shop.
Our wool is thick and soft and likes to hold fluid. Which means it will hold onto soap and detergent unless it is rinsed and washed well. So we highly recommend using not only very little soap, but also to rinse well.
Unicorn Beyond Soft in a natural Fabric Conditioner. It helps keeps the fibers soft and healthy.
Step 1 Dissolve 1 TBSP of Unicorn Beyond Clean in some water
Step 2 Add wool to your washing machine
Step 3 Add dissolved detergent to the dispenser
Step 4 Turn on washer to Cool setting (use wool setting or lower spin)
Do a secondary rinse cycle, aka rinse and spin with pre-dissolved Beyond Soft Conditioner.
We also recommend doing this every so often to refresh your wool between washes. It removed light soiling and neutralized salts
Wool has been used for centuries in all climates. It keeps you warm in the winter and cool in the heat. Reducing night sweats and rashes
Wool is a naturally breathable fiber reducing rashes and keeping baby dry.
Our in-house proprietary dyeing process not only gives us stunning colours but also pre-treats the wool making it machine washable.
We had craft every item in our workshop. Each item is lovingly cut and sewn by our team. We appreciate your business and love doing what we do.
Wool sops up humidy and moisture and it also repells it. Its called a miracle fiber by many. The lanolin helps the wool repel fluids back to the diaper, then as it becomes too much it absorbs a tremendous amount before feeling damp.
Our stuff is adorable. It really is. Come join our Flock and you can see all of the custom made items we have made over the years. Our brand is more than clothing, its about family.

Why Use Lanolin?
Lanolin is a naturally occurring wax found in wool fiber. It is cleaned out of the wool during processing the fibers for fabric and yarn. We only use the purest pharmaceutical grade lanolin. Lanolin conditions the wool fibers and gives the waterproof protection we love about wool. Lanolin also increases the wool’s anti-bacterial properties to help your diaper cover self-clean between uses and naturalize urine.
Use our Emulsion Blocks to create a lanolin rich bath to reintroduce this amazing natural goodness into your wool. Click the rest of the tabs for more information on how to use them.
You can also use our pre-emulsified Ready to Use Lanolin Blend to make it even easier! Made with all natural ingredients to take away the guesswork. Super rich, with at least 25% lanolin in the mixture.
Want something for on the go or between washing. Use our pre-mixed Lanolin Rich Spray. Helps boost the wool performance without the wait.

Bumby does an absolutely amazing job at alterations to any wool! I sent in 8 woolies that I wanted cuffs put on, they chose perfect colours and worked with me and sent them back fast!! I will definitely be chosing this service again. ?

The tiny human ripped a hole in his favorite pants. The Bumby crew fantastically repaired them, adding a bold style section and changing the pocket color to match the bold. Thank you for making my tiny human so happy!

thanks for sending them to us so we can all keep garments being used instead of in the landfill
