Beware! Spent 20 min trying to find this place. It doesn't seem to exist anymore. At least not in the location tagged on Yelp. No numerical address anywhere on the internet I can see. I was really bummed. read more

The alteration for my bridesmaid dress turned out great! I stupidly forgot my heels to the fitting but Eleonora found a solution through a mix of shoes and books.

Ella saved us when another shop screwed up our new blackout curtains. She was very responsive to our questions and did a great job recreating the original hem. It was a challenging project and the price was very fair. All in all, highly recommended. read more

We're gonna need more stars! The sun disintegrated the fabric on the chair back cushions of our outdoor furniture. The set not high quality enough to offer replacements, so after more than a year of staring at beach towel covers, I went in search of an affordable solution. I hit a Grand Slam homer with Ella! She helped me scour her collection of fabric bolts to find something to accent the chair colors (matching perfectly seemed a long shot) and even came up with the super creative idea of taking parts of the old fabric and making a rolled "piped" edge (sorry, don't know proper terms) for an accent. Genius! The work was top-notch with "butterfly" corners (she taught me that) and a perfect zipper so the cover could be removed for washing. All done in a couple of days for a super reasonable price. I could not more highly recommend Meta Magic Needle! I'm so happy to have my patio looking nice again, and my dog is glad to have the ratty beach towels back for sleeping on! Thanks Ella! read more

We had Ella use leftover fabric to create protective covers for our RV couch cushions due to our dogs. We basically asked for a shower cap/bottom sheet type covering that was tight and flat on the top, but could easily be removed. She took my ideas, and created exactly what we needed! She put elastic around the edge, then across the bottom to keep them on for when our dogs get wound up and jump from couch to couch. She was so easy to communicate with, contacted us during the process to clarify some items, and created a beautiful professional product with quick turnaround. My mom is a seamstress and when I sent the photos she was so impressed. And the price is right! She is definitely my go to for any sewing needs. read more

Her work is of very high quality and very reasonably priced! read more

Ella is simple amazing and so talented! I reached out to her through a neighborhood site asking if she altered clothing and she responded so quickly that she did. I brought in two cashmere sweaters that I love and she sewed soft patches onto the elbows so I am able to enjoy these for so much longer. I also brought in a sequined formal long skirt that she expertly extended the waistline with additional fabric I had. You would never know the difference! I can't recommend Ella highly enough! She is such a talented seamstress, kind with very fair prices. Thank you again Ella! If you needed pillow covers -she is the go to expert-they are beautifully and masterfully created! read more

Ella's work is fantastic Really, what surprised me though, was the amazing selection of fabrics - and leather! - that she has on hand. I knew what I wanted but imagined it would be impossible to find. I was ready to settle for a good-enough alternative. Ella had exactly what I wanted for a chair upholstery job and completed the work in two days. read more

First off, Meta Magic Needle is the best! Ella is such a kind and understanding individual. My fiancé and I are getting married on a serious budget (my dress was only $80), so I needed someone who was willing to hem my dress for a reasonable price. Ella knew exactly what to do, my wedding dress has 4 layers and one that is mesh with a lace overlay (VERY complicated piece). Not only was she up for the challenge but, understanding that I had some experience with sewing, let me take off all of the extra lace so that I could have an easier time paying for the work she did to reapply it after the hem. After only a couple weeks I came back to try the dress on and it was absolutely perfect, no need to change any little details. Ella is an exceptional seamstress and a kind person, I couldn't have asked for a better experience. I will be sure to go back soon to get my partner's pants hemmed to perfection. read more

Ella was amazing. She did a great job on the 4 pairs of jeans she hemmed and an apron I received as a birthday gift that was just a little too big. She made everything perfect and was swift with getting the job done. She's a very talented lady. I'm looking forward to the day I need something upholstered because she does that too! read more

Ella is a treasure. Thoughtful, reasonable, expeditious. She right-sized a leather belt by taking in an inch or so at buckle end. She politely did so rapidly and expertly while I waited. The belt fits and looks great. read more

Please ignore the actual stars as I did not get anything altered so cannot speak to the work itself. I just wanted to clear up that this is upholstery only. A few reviews mention having jeans, dresses, or sweaters altered and repaired. I think they are in the wrong place or else the business has a new owner. The current proprietor informed me that she does upholstery only, not clothing. read more
