Thankfully, they knew the trick to removing the pocket, making the process seamless. The turnaround time was quick, and the pricing was fair. My husband was equally impressed with the service when he picked up the finished product. We definitely recommend Derby City Embroidery and will be returning for any future needs. Happy to support this wonderful local business! Thank you Rhonda & your entire team!

She walked me through fonts for each individualized handkerchief as well as colors. I'm not good at this stuff and was indecisive, but she offered suggestions to help me out. I couldn't be happier with how they came out. There was some waiting because one or more of the colors were not stocked, but I was prepared to wait and had plenty of time. The price was super reasonable. Couldn't be happier!

I just finished my first class with Made Stitch, and I can't wait for my next project!…read more Signing up for a class was easy. The website lists what age the class is for (kids, teens, or adults), the project and what pattern will be used, and the level of difficulty. There are classes for people who have no sewing experience, up to confident sewists, and everything in between. With your registration, you get the pattern, fabric, thread, and any other materials needed to successfully complete the project. Just show up ready to learn and create! The studio is at the Mellwood Arts Center, easy to find and plenty of parking. It's also well marked once you get to Mellwood, so I had no problem finding the studio. Inside the studio is gorgeous, with a lot of natural light. There are 16 new sewing machines, with four ironing tables, two huge cutting tables, and everything a class needs to complete any sewing project. I took the skirt sewing class for adult advanced beginners- those who have basic sewing experience and have practiced within the last year. There were four students in the class, all who knew a little about sewing but wanted more guidance. The class was scheduled for two four-hour blocks, and we actually went over on time the 2nd day. This was the first time this class was offered, so it's hard to know how long things will take, so keep that in mind when looking at your schedule. We had everything we needed to take our measurements, trace and cut the pattern, and sew the skirt. Lyndsey explained everything we needed to do very clearly, and helped us when we had l questions. It was a great learning atmosphere, with music playing and questions and conversation. Even though I'd made a few garments before, I learned a ton of information about the process of garment sewing. The time and cost of the class was an amazing value, because learning the same amount of information and making as nice of a garment would've taken me hundreds of hours and probably hundreds more dollars in failed projects! After taking a class at Made Stitch, I feel excited about sewing, whereas on my own I'd sometimes get frustrated. Now I feel inspired to make my own project right away, so I can practice some of the very valuable information I learned! Like I said, I'll be keeping an eye out for my next class to take, and I'd recommend Made Stitch to anyone interested in sewing, of any age or skill level!

Ms. Lyndsey is patient and kind with her students and really encourages them to try their best. The projects they work on are cute but also functional; they practice with pillows, bags, and shirts they can actually wear. It makes the skill of sewing more approachable and practical rather than fanciful. My daughter enjoyed her first session so much, she can't wait to enroll again!

The store is a kinda cluttered because there's so much in it, but I'll take some clutter over fewer items. Sewing notions are getting harder & harder to find, so it's great when I can find what I need without ordering online & hoping I pick the right color. My one star deduction is because they only carry 100% cotton quilting fabric. I know it's the popular option, but a poly/cotton blend will last much longer.

On March 31, I took a skirt in to be hemmed. I said I didn't need it for a week. The owner said…read moreshe would call me when it was ready. On April 15 when I still hadn't heard from her, I called to ask if it was ready. She said she had misplaced the skirt but was going to hem it that day. Since I was out of town, I told her I would pick it up on April 18. I get there on April 18, and the skirt is not only not ready, it's not even there. She had outsourced it to be done elsewhere. I then had to pay $4.95 more than the $14 I had been quoted. The owner said she'd have the skirt dropped off, which she did. I just tried on the skirt, and it's not even the length it was supposed to be. I will never go back to this place. I might have given them a two-star rating had they apologized, but they offered ZERO apologies for the inconvenience and price discrepancy.

This spot serves as a general store offering up some ridiculously cute household items including candles, tools, décor, office supplies, paper goods, toiletries, and so much more! Plus they have clothing and accessories, as well as custom chain stitch embroidery items. This is the perfect shop to stock up on home goods, or to treat yourself to something a little extra. One of my favorite items in the store were some ridiculously beautiful matches. They were pricier than your average matches, but I absolutely love candles, and they were gorgeous.. so, worth it! Cry Baby is also the perfect gift shop. If you're looking for something for someone you love (or just like, or just need to purchase a gift for), this is a great spot to check out. There are so many options, big and small, in a range of prices. I absolutely recommend Cry Baby! Check it out!
