John Gagnon put a new top on my 16 year old convertible a few weeks ago and fixed a rip in the…read moredriver's seat. He did a great job and only needed the car for two days. Before my car when in, he was just finishing a Mustang and as I was picking us my car, he had started work on an old Mercedes SL. If you've ever wondered where you go to get a convertible top replaced, Gagnon's is the place. Next year I'll have to work on making the rest of the car look as good as the top! Quick update (10/21/16): The new top is great, no leaks and no problems. The only thing I didn't realize was that in the beginning, I'd have to gently help the plastic window to learn how to fold and I might have gotten it off to a bad start if I had known that. But it's late October in Maine so the top probably isn't coming down until next spring and I'll work on it then. I still love it.

I am going to sign up for the next class since it fits my busy schedule and try and tackle a slightly more challenging project that I can wear! Definitely recommend taking her classes. If you don't have a sewing machine, no worries. She has machines on site that you can use to get a sense if you want to continue on or just do one class to see what sewing is like.

Yes, it's higher end than Bob's but what you get is infinitely nicer and will last much longer. In most cases the furniture is ordered and delivered to your home 30-90 days out depending on what it is. Our couch took 90 days because they are built to order. You can choose from a ton of different fabrics that vary in durability and ease of cleaning. We recently visited to check out bar stools and fell in love with very comfortable, but very expensive lounge chairs. We opted to go elsewhere for cheaper bar stools so maybe we could better afford the chairs in the future. High recommend to everyone!

Jacqueline saved the day! True to many brides' actual nightmares - I had a wedding dress fiasco a…read moremere few weeks away from my wedding! The seamstress had added pea-sized buttons on my derrière, where buttons did not previously exist. Jacqueline was not only quick to respond, but was able to fix my problem in less than 15 minutes. This, I see, as a victory, because the seamstress who I went to in the first place had looked me dead in the eye when I told her I didn't like the outcome of my dress, and asked her to remove the buttons, and said "I can't do that. It's sewn on." Jacqueline was not only pleasant to chat with as she quickly brought me back from wedding nightmare dreamscape, but she walked me through exactly what she was doing. Her space was cozy and clean. Her attitude was very welcoming and funny. She is clearly an expert in the space. I wish I had gone to her in the first place and would recommend her to anyone looking to put a very special dress into expert-yet-affordable hands!

She was easy to schedule with, communicate with and incredibly professional. She left no question unanswered. During my final dress fitting, she worked on my dress with it on my body for almost 2 hours until she got the final look and fit we both wanted. She worked very meticulously on every small detail of my dress that needed attention and in my opinion went above and beyond to ensure my needs were met and exceeded. I will also add- coming from someone who isn't the most comfortable or confident in these types of social situations, Jackie had my mind at ease and got me so excited for my big day. If you are in Maine and looking for a dedicated, professional, and absolutely amazing seamstress, look no further than Jackie at Hem and Veil. Affordable and phenomenal work. I will add photos of my dress after the wedding :)
