    I needed the length of my dress to be altered and needed it within the next 3 days. Linda was able to accommodate that and did a great job. She was very friendly too. Great experience.

    I took my wedding dress to Linda for alterations and repair and she was able to give me my dress back within in a week which was wondering before because I was on a time crunch. She is sweet and thorough. I will definitely recommend her to friends and family.

    Linda did an amazing job for our wedding. She tailored 6 suits for the groom and 5 groomsmen. They wanted a slim fit and she delivered. She tailored my mother's dress which had intricate details and did an amazing job fitting it perfectly to my mom. She fitted my fathers suit and made it fit him perfectly. I have no complaints of her work! Her pricing was so affordable! She is working out of her home but has a dedicated space with privacy for changing. She is professional and asks questions as to how you want things fit. I highly recommend her!

    I didn't know her studio was at her residence when I made the appt. other than that little surprise, I needed a bridesmaid dress hemmed on a short notice and Linda was very accommodating and made the deadline giving me exactly what I needed with no issues.

    Here is the hem on my pants

    I recently just bought a new suit from Macy's, they were having a 50% off sale. I purchased a blue Tommy Hilfiger suit 100% wool. The pants were long and needed to be hemmed. Searching online for a tailor or alterations was hit or miss. You would have people raving about it or people hating them. So instead I went with Linda. I felt kind of weird that it was her house. And there were only a few reviews, but they were all positive. So I called her on a Friday morning at about 9:30, I took that day off to goto the Bachelor Party. I asked if she could see me at 10:30 and she said yes. I live in South Sac on the edge of Elk Grove, so it was only a 10 minute drive. Walking up to the door she has a small poster showing that yes this is Linda's Studio. Good I thought. I explained I needed this pair of pants hemmed and I put them on in her dinning room. There was a large curtain for privacy. The place was very clean and there were no pets. So no pet hair on your clothes. She showed me were she thought they should be taking up to and I requested a little higher for a half break instead of a full break. She pinned it and it was that simple. She asked me when I needed them and she wrote it in her calender and told me it would be $10. Wow that was fast and easy! I just picked them up today and she had them ready for me. I tried them on and inspected them job. Good to go! I was very happy that my pants were ready. I read on a lot of reviews for other alterations that they weren't ready for pick up when scheduled. My son has some school patches that need to be sewed on his uniform shirts and sweaters. She said they would be $5 each. Very reasonable pricing. I think last year I paid $8 at another place. I have full confidence in Linda and I am relieved I have found a tailor I can trust and rely on.

    Linda has altered multiple items of clothing for me over the years. She's fairly priced, and does an excellent job. I highly recommend her.

    She was able to hem my dress 5 inches in one day. She did an awesome job and I'm ready for the beach!

    So I had a major emergency due to a crap job from a "seamstress." I no longer had a dress that I originally tried on.

    I had a last minute appointment and needed alterations to a pair of pants completed in less than a…read moreweek. Doing a quick Yelp search, CJ Sewing popped up as one of the top rated alterations establishments in Elk Grove. I immediately scheduled an appointment for the following day. Since I was in such a frenzy, I totally overlooked the instructions in Ms. Jackson's (business owner) appointment confirmation email (the email states that you should bring a long sleeve shirt, a belt, and dress shoes if you're having a suit altered). When I showed up to the establishment, I was warmly greeted by Ms. Jackson and her cute furry friend- Sir Winston. As fate would have it, my suit jacket did not require altering; therefore, the belt and dress shoes that I had on were sufficient. Ms. Jackson is definitely a wealth of knowledge and respectfully shared with me that the slim fit suit pants that I had were not appropriate for my athletic build (slim waist & thick quads). However, she walked me through the alterations that she would make that would complement my physique. On the expected pickup date, Ms. Jackson informed me that she would need additional time and could drop the pants off to me later that afternoon . This was not a problem considering that I dropped the pants off at the last minute. Also, I really appreciated her communication. As promised, Ms. Jackson dropped the pants off and they were a perfect fit. Thank you CJ Sewing!

    I tried CJ Sewing because of the positive Yelp reviews, but unfortunately my experience was very…read moredifferent. I brought in my maid-of-honor dress for my sister's destination wedding. The color was discontinued, so I asked about adding a corset back and a hem. I was quoted over $375 for those alterations. When I asked about a first-responder discount (because my fiancé is one), she responded by asking whether he was the one with the dress. The comment felt dismissive of the impact first-responder life has on a whole family. I then asked about a graduate-student discount, and she began asking several personal questions about my education. I even offered to show my student ID, to which she said she was "just trying to make conversation" and that she would take $50 off--but the exchange still felt uncomfortable and unprofessional. She scheduled me to return in two weeks for the first fitting, where I would try on the corset and we would mark the hem. However, when I arrived, the corset wasn't completed. She explained she had difficulty finding a matching back panel and ribbon, which I understand since the color was discontinued. What concerned me was that she hadn't sourced materials ahead of time and didn't offer alternative solutions (such as lace) until I prompted her. She even suggested using fabric from the third layer of my dress for the back panel--something that would clearly be visible in photos--and only agreed it wasn't a good idea after I pointed it out. During the first fitting, I also told her that the corset was pinching my back and I didn't like the way it looked. She said nothing and offered no explanation. I later learned that with a corset, you're supposed to shift your back toward the sides to prevent pinching--something she failed to mention, and possibly didn't know. I had also repeatedly struggled with the straps since my first appointment, and instead of offering to re-sew them, she recommended adhesive. When I asked about simply re-stitching them, she hesitated and commented about my "budget," which felt judgmental and unprofessional. She then quoted $40. Because of the missed deadline, lack of proactive solutions, and overall unprofessional communication, I decided not to continue the alterations and returned to pick up my dress. At pickup, I told her I would pay for the work she had completed and compensate her for her time marking the hem. She initially agreed, but then tried to charge me the full cost of the corset--even though it was unfinished. She also tried to charge me for a hem that was never sewn (just pinned). After going back and forth--and telling her I wasn't there to argue--she charged me $25 for the 30 minutes she spent marking the hem and the partial corset work. I ultimately paid $150 for half a corset and pins she removed. Overall, this was a stressful and disappointing experience, and I cannot recommend this business.
