| Know before using | This is one commercial operator with two Kenyan branches, not a Kenyan repair census, independent assessment, or guarantee of quality. The checked pages do not publish repair prices, turnaround, custody terms, accessibility information, warranty terms, or a complete item-and-material policy, and services can differ by branch. Confirm current operation, the exact garment and repair, material acceptance, fitting, estimate, turnaround, accessibility, custody, added-work approval, workmanship, warranty, and remedy directly before handing over an item. | A generated pattern is not independent fit evidence or a production-ready graded block. The result still depends on accurate measurements, the selected design and options, ease assumptions, fabric behavior, construction, and representative test garments. An account stores saved patterns and measurement sets, so review the platform's privacy terms before retaining personal measurements. | An orientation rather than a completed product record; it does not supply a universal format, licensed standard content, measurements, tolerances, construction settings, labels, approvals, compliance conclusion, or product-release authority. |

| What the source establishes | Piccadilly White Drycleaners' first-party service page explicitly offers alterations and repairs and names garment work including zippers, buttons, stitching, turnups, and hooks. Its contact page publishes separate branch addresses, phone numbers, and a shared email for Kisii and Kisumu, with displayed daily operating hours and a quote contact route. | FreeSewing's official documentation says the browser editor drafts a selected design in real time from a measurement set rather than scaling or grading a standard-size pattern. Users can adjust design options and export the generated result, including as PDF; saving the pattern to an account is optional and is used to revisit it later. | The guide cites current ISO sources for documented-information, garment-measurement, stitch, and seam boundaries plus current U.S. FTC textile and care-labeling guidance; it explicitly separates those authorities from product-specific technical and market decisions. |
