Give the Clothes You Love a Second Story.
Gunning Co. helps you rediscover, restyle, tailor, and transform garments with meaning — so fewer pieces end up forgotten, unworn, or sent to landfill.
Wardrobe consultation, garment transformation, sewing workshops, and theatre costume design in Edmonton.
A wardrobe revival studio
For clothing with stories to be told.
Some pieces still have life in them. They fit almost right. They carry a memory. They are made from beautiful fabric. They sit in the back of the closet because you are not sure what to do with them.
Gunning Co. helps you find the potential in what you already own and turn it into clothing that feels useful, personal, and wearable again.
What we do
Ways to bring clothing back to life.
Six services, one promise to extend the life of what you already wear.
Closet Revival 1:1
A personalized session to edit, style, and reimagine your wardrobe with clarity and direction.
Closet Revival Intensive
A deeper half-day experience with wardrobe curation, outfit creation, and hands-on garment direction.
Garment Transformation
Tailoring, reworking, restyling, and custom changes that make existing pieces feel wearable again.
Workshops + Open Studio
Relaxed sewing sessions and practical workshops that help you build skills and keep clothing in use.
Theatre Costume Design
Costume design and wardrobe support for theatre, performance, and creative productions.
Custom Creation
New pieces developed from a story, need, fabric, or garment inspiration. Quoted by project.
Featured · Closet Revival
Start with the clothes you already have.
Closet Revival is part wardrobe consultation, part styling session, and part creative garment strategy. Together, we look at what you own, what you actually wear, what still feels like you, and what could become something new.
How it works
A clear process for meaningful pieces.
Discover
We review your garments, your lifestyle, your style instincts, and the pieces you keep coming back to.
Edit
We decide what to keep, release, repair, tailor, restyle, or reimagine.
Map
We create a practical plan for outfits, alterations, transformations, or custom work.
Revive
You move forward with clothing that fits your life now — with less waste and more intention.
Sustainability
Less waste starts with what is already in your closet.
Every garment that is repaired, restyled, tailored, or transformed has the chance to stay in use longer. Gunning Co. is rooted in the belief that clothing can be personal, expressive, and practical without always needing to be new.
1 piece
Every revived garment is one fewer sent to landfill — and one more story kept in rotation. Diverting waste begins one closet at a time.
Workshops + Open Studio
Learn the skills to keep clothing in use.
Relaxed sewing sessions and practical workshops for people who want to repair, alter, rework, and better understand their clothing.
Upcoming · The Studio Calendar
Sessions to keep clothing in use.
Hands-on workshops and a relaxed open studio, held in small groups so there is room for real guidance. Reserve early — spots are limited.
Recurring · Drop-in
Most Sundays
Open Studio
Bring your machine and projects, work on your pieces, get unstuck, and connect with others. Guidance is available along the way, and all are welcome.
Reserving (or asking to be notified) pre-fills a note to create@gunningco.ca with the workshop you picked.
Theatre Costume Design
Costumes built around character, movement, and story.
Gunning Co. supports theatre and performance projects with costume design, garment sourcing, alteration, construction, fittings, and wardrobe problem-solving.
About Gunning Co.
Made for people who see possibility in fabric, fit, and story.
Gunning Co. brings together wardrobe consultation, tailoring knowledge, creative construction, and costume design. Whether you are reviving a favourite piece, learning how to sew, or building a character for the stage, the work starts with the same question: what could this become?
Questions
Good to know before you book.
Just yourself and an open mind. For an in-home session we work with the wardrobe you already have. If you book in-studio, bring a selection of pieces you love, pieces you never wear, and anything you are unsure about.
Almost anything with good bones — pieces that fit almost right, no longer suit your life, or are too meaningful to let go. We tailor for fit, add structure or pockets, reshape, combine garments, and reimagine legacy pieces entirely.
No. Open Studio is a relaxed, guided hangout for all levels. Bring your machine and your project, and there is help available along the way whenever you get stuck.
Yes. Gunning Co. supports productions with costume design, sourcing, builds, alterations, fittings, and wardrobe problem-solving. Reach out early with your timeline so we can plan fittings and construction around your run.
Transformation and custom work is quoted per piece after we understand what you are working with and where you want to go. Tell us about the garment and your goal and we will follow up with clear next steps.
