Once I moved I finally decided to check it out. I was very please with my first class so I decided to take two more. I thoroughly enjoyed every class and learned alot. I still feel like an amateur but I have much more knowledge than I started with. Kathy is very helpful and very patient. I wasn't sure what to expect in the class but I am so happy that I took the classes. My first class was the apron class, then pillows, then bags. As a beginner I would suggest Pillows first then apron, then bags. I havent taken the table toppers class yet so I cant speak on the difficulty level of that one. But if you are a beginner or even slightly advanced I'd suggest taking a class- you wont regret it.

I have filed a complaint with Hillsborough County Consumer Protection and am waiting to see if they can or have any authority to resolve my gripe.

I had purchased a tuxedo from another company, and I found the sleeves were too long, and the pants a little tight in the seat. I came in and Gregory had his tailor work his magic on my Tux, despite not having purchased it from him. I felt like he gave me the type of personal concern that I almost never find anymore. I honestly wish I had found his store before I bought my tuxedo somewhere else, however he took what I came in with and made it shine. He has earned a customer for life in me.

Instead, I got them back just as wrinkled--if not more--than when I dropped them off. What exactly did I pay for? The clothes looked like they were wadded up in a ball and forgotten in a corner--no crease, no care, just sloppy. When I asked about it, the staff acknowledged the issue and offered to repress the sweater; however, this shouldn't have been an issue in the first place. If I wanted wrinkled clothes, I could've done that for free. Save your money and go somewhere that actually understands what a "cleaner" is supposed to do. I won't be coming back.
