No offense but they hardly speak English. It made me anxious and nervous to have them working on my dress if they can't understand what I want and how I wanted it. I had to repeat myself at least 5 times before I just decided to leave. They do cash only and wanted my money before I even got my dress...big red flag. read more

My go to place for when I need anything done! Im in a theatrical dance company that utilizes many costume pieces that are custom (not found in the states) and gone to different shops around the area that are either too expensive/slow. I've taken certain fabric and a sample of what I want and she makes an exact replica to my size in no time! I also get detail work done here where things get loose or start to fall off from wear and tear & the items sometimes look/feel better than they were when they were new. read more

Nancy is very welcoming, friendly and professional. She believes the customer is always right. She offered suggestions I never noticed and I trusted her and took her advice and both of my dresses came out PERFECT, fit like a glove! Consider coming to nancys shop you will not be disappointed. My family and I will continue to come back and give her business. Thank you nancy! read more

Nancy Leon's Sewing Designs - Nancy worked on the white dress. - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Hayward, California

Needed a suit for a wedding in two weeks. Bought a suit that didn't fit (nothing is ever in my size & it's too late for custom tailored suit). So I brought it here. They told me to put it on, then they folded and pinned down to my size. For pants and jacket adjustments was $120 cash. Eight days later, they called me in; put on the suit; and out the door I go! Everything fits perfectly. Looking at the suit, and I can't tell where they've made the adjustments; it's seamless. The only con is there is only street parking. read more

I am beyond happy I found this place! They are so accommodating to everything! I called and I immediately got an appointment the next day. Since my daughters Quinceañera photo shoot was happening soon I requested to please have the dress altered by 2 weeks. They actually had it ready before and fit my daughter perfectly!! She also made her a bolero jacket for church and for like a glove. My daughters smile said it all. Nancy is very sweet , understanding and really the prices are super affordable. This will now be my go to place for alterations. She also recommended a place that could iron out my daughters dress which also came in handy! Thank you so much! read more

My friend and I just picked up our bridesmaids dresses and they came out perfect. She hemmed the bottoms and added some of the fabric to the back area. (It was one of those multi-way dresses). I would definitely come here in the future. Gracias Nancy! read more

She's a very nice lady. You park in the Taquito parking lot and walk over. It's the building to the right of El Taquito.

Wow I don't know where to begin!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!! I needed major alterations done to my dress and Nancy did it within one day! I came to pick up my dress and then decided I wanted to add long sleeves to it with other fabric I found and she did it literally within a couple of minutes!! She also fixed a gold dress of mine with a lot of delicate hand work embellishments and it was altered beautifully. She has also fixed dresses that other people told me can't be fixed. However, Nancy works her miracles and always ends up doing amazing job!! She is extremely talented! The staff is also very friendly. I don't understand why someone below said they were cussed out because aren't like that AT ALL! read more

I came in yesterday and Nancy was very welcoming and loved how she spoke Spanish since it was easier for me to explain what I wanted. Needed my jumpsuit fixed and to my surprise it was done in less than 12hrs ! Will be coming back here again, loved my experience and fast service ! read more

Needed my pants altered same day for a wedding and they were able to get them done in just a few hours! Very reasonable price too! Definitely will come back here and definitely recommend their work! Very nice people. Only difficult thing was trying to find parking. read more

Nancy did a great job with a chiffon bridesmaid dress that I brought in. I needed the dress taken in slightly and hemmed. Her prices were reasonable and her quality of work was high. Will come back if I need anything else tailored. read more

I was in desperate need of a seamstress/dressmaker. I went to Yelp and found Nancy. I was searching Yelp for a few days, spoke to a few people, even visited some shops from Vacaville to San Jose. I needed some last minute Puletasi's and ie faitaga's(Samoan dress attire) made for my father in laws funeral. Nancy was my hero! She was very pleasant and accommodating. Even through the whole COVID-19 she welcomed me throughout the weeks for measuring, fitting and pick up. She even came all the way to my house- 40 minutes away from her shop to drop off one of my pairs. In total, she was able to sew three pairs for my family in just one week. I highly recommend her. I've been passing out her business cards to anyone I know who needs a seamstress. She will not disappoint. I brought my own material and just pictures of what I wanted. She even made matching mask for us. I trust Nancy in making my vision come to life. My family and I received so many compliments on our ofu's (outfits). My sister in law even said, she didn't know I had my own seamstress. I told her, "yes, all the way in Hayward!" All the family said we looked, "sharp!" And they loved our outfit. Some even wanted to take it after the family services. I will be back to visit Nancy Leon's sewing designs! read more

Nancy is amazing and such a friendly person. I procrastinated on altering my prom dress and came to her the week of prom.

I am not happy about this place at all. So I bought this beautiful dress to wear for my friend's wedding. It was small for me so I found this place on Yelp and went there to ask them if its possible to make it a little bigger. They said it's doable. Told me to come back a week later. I called a week later to check. They didn't even start it and told me to come back 2 days later. Luckily, I had time till the wedding. I finally went there to try on and was super excited. The dress did fit but it wasn't pretty as before. Whatever she did, the front of the dress had weird wrinkle now and looked so ugly. I was very upset and she said she will fix it. She fixed it and I tried on and she fixed again and I tried on again... We did that about 5 times and it was still not the same but I had to go and I was very tired. I paid $60 cash as she asked. I am never going back there. read more

Work is good here. Dropped off on a Monday, picked up a week later on a Wednesday. The parking here is not easy; there's very little in front, and the street that runs along the store is on a steep hill. I had to park a few blocks away and cross a rather dangerous intersection (Mission Blvd) to get here. You knock on the locked door and someone lets you in. Thankfully, when I picked up they let me park in the small lot connected to the store. Service isn't necessarily the friendliest but I guess that doesn't matter as long as the quality is there. I went to get a suit tailored; they did good work. I only needed the pants hemmed/tailored. I just didn't like the fact the Yelp deal they advertise couldn't be redeemed (I was only told "No" when I asked if I could use it, no explanation why) and they only took cash (their Yelp page says they accept credit cards, but when I attempted to use it, I was told it wasn't accepted--again, with no explanation given). I get a lot of businesses don't know how these Yelp promotions are on their page (which still baffles me) and don't update their attributes about payment, but most of the time, I assume they just don't want to honor their deals or take the credit card transaction fee. If things like that affect your bottom line, perhaps you should reconsider being in business altogether. I'll likely think twice about going back mainly due to the cash only nature of the establishment, and the fact it is very difficult to park in the surrounding area. read more

While getting ready to be in an upcoming wedding the groom showed me a month before the suit he wanted online for the groomsmen. Only sizes left were for the very small and thin or tall so I got the tall knowing I would need major alterations. Suit arrived 2 weeks before the wedding and I found Nancy who could have it tailored in ten days. I needed it taken in everywhere and cost me $120. The work was done on time and impeccably. I was very happy with the results and asked about others services. Pants hemming in $10. I will definitely be back and recommend them if you don't have someone in the area. read more

Great service and pleasant people. I called 8mins before I showed up and I loved how they took me in last minute and made sure I got everything I wanted. Would definitely be recommending to my friends and family !!! read more

Terrible experience. I went in there with several pants that needed to be tailored, I asked her to do 2 pairs before said date. They had 5 days to do it and waited until the last HOUR. They precharged and OVER charged. Not to mention the husband was rude. He said in Spanish "you know how THEY are" when I was upset because my pants weren't done by the date I told her I needed them to be done. He was rude and I'm assuming his "they" comment was meant to be homophobic. They need to work on their customer service and time management. read more

Nancy and Julio are amaaaaaazing!!! Had my wedding dress altered and it came out perfect! Cheap, fast and accurate! Highly recommended!!!

What a great find! Nancy knows how to do all things sewing and is excellent at what she does no matter what you bring to her. She never seems worried no matter the fabric! I had her shorten 6 dresses that were longer than I wanted when I purchased them. I'm 5'4" tall so nearly everything I buy is too long. She hemmed several golf dresses, and shortened 2 maxi dresses no problem! Hem for 5 dresses was very reasonable for a total of $75. I dropped them off at 5 pm on a Monday, and she had them all done the very next afternoon even though I didn't need any of them them back for several days! Parking is a challenge and it's in a dicey area of Hayward, but if you can get past that I promise you will absolutely not be disappointed! I'm having my daughter take her wedding dress there for alterations later this year once we are closer to her wedding date. I'll never go to anyone else now that I've found Nancy! Absolutely the very best! read more

Nancy is awesome. Super friendly and professional. I a couple of dresses altered here and Nancy got this done in a couple of days. I went to a couple of places and everyone said they couldn't do it but Nancy delivered and she did so beautifully. Nancy and her partner are super nice and they simply get the job done . I highly recommend her. She's super talented . Her prices will leave a smile on your face as well read more

Nancy is INCREDIBLE!!! As I was having a bride's maid dress altered, the bride changed her mind. Nancy was able to alter both before the wedding. One altered for length, the other was alterations to the entire bodice. Both expertly done and i looked and felt fantastic. I was happy with the pricing as well. After comparing with the other bridal party, I actually think Nancy under charged for the amount of work required. Plus she is a wonderful lady! Would recommend with no reservations!!! read more

I came her after I had ordered my dress online (bad choice btw). My dress was huge and with only 2 weeks before my event, I came across Nancy Leon's Sewing Designs. Once you walk in, you're immediately greeted. Nancy is so sweet, literally made me feel at home. She had my dress ready in about 3 days, which was great. She listened to what I wanted done to dress and captured my vision of the perfect dress. The best part of it all, was that I was expecting to spend at the very least around $100, but that wasn't the case. I walked away with my perfect dress that cost $35 to fix. Couldn't be happier (: read more

Nancy did a custom linen 2pc walking suit for my sisters wedding in Las Vegas and it came out really really nice. I'm a big man but she took my measurements I showed her the style I wanted and she nailed it! Got a lot of compliments and I was even asked where I got my outfit made? And I referred them to Nancy! Thank you again and I'll see you soon for my next custom made outfit! read more

Nancy did an amazing job. She made me a 2 piece suit and it matched my old suit exactly. She knew exactly what to do without me even explaining it. I would highly recommend her to anyone is in need of alterations or just plain anything for clothes. read more

I should have walked out when I first got there. The owner was arguing with two customers. I figured stuff happens and decided to ignore it. Gave her a suit and a jacket to do. Both were wrong. And worse still, when I went to pick-up the suit, she said it was more work than expected so had increased the price. I did not agree, then she started yelling at me. Another man that was there, brother maybe, came over and asked her to leave. Incredibly unprofessional and the work wasn't great. Stay away! read more

Nancy did a great job on the alterations for my bridesmaid dress. She doesn't speak much English but when I tried it on for her, she knew exactly what needed to be fixed. She asked when I needed it done by, and called me when it was ready, before my deadline. She preferred to be paid via Venmo instead of credit card, and payment is done upfront, but that worked fine for me. The dress fits great now and I appreciated the good service. I'll be back in the future. read more

Nancy Leone is the best, I needed a bridesmaid dress taken in and altered and another outfit altered she did a marvelous job on both and in a short period of time. you can't tell that any changes were done they both fit perfectly and her work is impeccable. I will definitely bring her all my outfits and I Highly recommend her. read more

I was going to write a long review but I will cut right to the point. I have been there twice and will go back as needed because, GREAT SERVICE, GREAT PRICES BUT OVERALL GREAT SKILLS. read more

Nancy is very nice and I feel bad leaving this review but I think people should know. Her work I good although some things were not done correctly it still worked. I left my item for her to do alterations. Gave her 2 weeks to complete. I get there and my item is hanging and not completed. She had me come back then I noticed that something she had charged me for was not done. She worked on that. I went back 3x when I had given her more than 1 week to finish. What I notice is she is a mom and pop shop. Doesn't take notes she just pins and does things by memory but that's when you make errors. Also she has someone there he said he was janitor I think he has special need bc he was yelling at me for no reason. Don't understand how a business like this is still standing. When you go to pick up they ask for a picture. I would go elsewhere. Somewhere you know your clothes is safe and will be done. She does work well but leaving your items is a risk. She's good for ppl that are not in a rush and wouldn't mind losing their items. I'm sorry to write a bad review. I wanted to like her I really did. I was just so disappointed at how she runs her business. read more

I got my dress altered at this place and Nancy did a great job! She knew exactly how I wanted to do on the back of my dress and she also finished it in time for my event. I highly recommend this place for any type of alterations. read more

I needed 3 dresses altered and Nancy got them done in a timely manner and they fit perfectly!!!

Back last August i needed to get my wedding dress altered. No one wanted to touch it because of all the beading on the dress and others wanted to charge a ridiculous amount to alter. I found this place and the lady said she could do it. O had 4 days until my wedding and the lady had finished altering it by the next day!! The dress fit me perfectly!! Highly recommend this place! Great service, great price and great time! read more
