Are you talking about an alteration or an alliteration?
An alteration is sewing of a garment to re-size it, such as hemming a pair of pants to the right length.
Alliteration is a poetic device of repeating the same sound (consonant or vowel) so as to appeal to your ears.
"Around the rugged rock the ragged rascal ran" repeats the R sound.
Look at the poetry of Gerard Manley Hopkins for excellent examples of both consonance (w/ consonants) and assonance (w/ vowels) alliteration.

You mean alliteration where a poem or phrase is highlighted by the repetition of the initial letter such as ' Tom told Trevor to try Tilly's tarts.'
