Abstract. This note is devoted to the solution of a sewing problem between metric spaces sharing quasisymmetric copies of a given metric space. It is proved that the sewing yields a well-defined conformal gauge, and we study properties inherited by the new space. It follows from the construction that if Y is a closed uniformly perfect subset of a proper metric space X, then, for any \epsilon > 0, one can find a metric d in the conformal gauge of X so that the Hausdorff dimensions of both (X,d) and (Y,d) are \epsilon-close to their conformal dimension.
