Worn out stuffing (before)
Gabe H.

So wonderful. I have a stuffed animal that is probably 35+ years old from when I was a kid and my son loves him. Unfortunately the stuffing was all worn out. I called around and a few places wouldn't do it. I dropped him off with Olga and he was done in a day. That definitely helped with the timeline because my son didn't really like the idea of Pound Puppy being at the stuffy doctor for very long. She was very reasonable in the price and she communicated very well. You will be very happy with her.

Bridesmaid dress alteration. My dress was too long. She made it shorter. Before picture on left, after picture on right.

Best alterations woman in San Diego with the best prices. I will probably update this post once professional pictures come in. Olga is amazing. She altered my wedding dress and bridesmaids dress. She works fast and doesn't charge an arm and leg for her services. My bridesmaids dress was too long and I needed it altered to be one inch off of the ground. My wedding dress was too small. It originally had buttons and a zipper on the back, but wouldn't close at all. Olga completely removed them and added a corset. I loved the way it turned out. It looked like my dress originally came with the corset. She completed both dresses in 3 days. She is a fast dedicated worker. My wedding dress cost $200 to be altered. Bridesmaid dress was $75. Everywhere else wanted to charge me more than $500 for both. You can't beat her prices! I strongly recommend her. You won't regret it.

Add the word "wedding" to anything and all of a sudden you're looking at a 400% markup. When looking for someone to do alterations on my wedding dress, I was definitely feeling discouraged. I bought my dress as a sample, but it fit perfectly outside of needing a hem and a bustle. When I called the shop recommended to me by the dress shop, they quoted me $850. Yikes! A few people in a San Diego wedding facebook group recommended Olga so I messaged her. Located in a gated community in Mission Valley, she operates out of her home garage that has been transformed into the ultimate seamstress station. She did a great job on my dress and for a quarter of the cost! I've taken a few other items to her as well and everything has come out perfectly. I have to say some of the items have been a bit complicated with their layers, but there's no challenge Olga can't take on.

See all

The sleeves were way too big so needed a quick turn around and Olga had it back to me in less than a week!

I got the opportunity to work with Kate Griffin on an organization job that I needed for my home. I…read morecontacted her one week & she scheduled our appt. for early the following week. Which was such a breath of fresh air in this very active real estate market. Being a Realtor. I know all companies that are associated with real estate are experiencing lots of volume so that was very quick considering the market. To be honest I was in such need of moving this project forward. What a wonderful blessing we got started right away! I had moved into a new home and with the exception of a desk/chair and a bed. I only brought items that fit in a box. Or went in the closet. I initially contacted Blythe so I can get a design to get some furniture etc. but I had boxes all around the parameter of my home and couldn't get to the design until we went through all the boxes and had everything organized and put away. Over the years we can accumulate so many items that are so precious. IE: just to name one category. I had been saving a variety of keep sake items from over the years that were also in cardboard boxes and felt stuck not knowing what to do with them. I didn't know where to start. When Kate arrived she rolled up her sleeves and got to work. We opened every box and went through absolutely everything. She made what looked so overwhelming a breeze. She was able to help me discern what to keep and what to purge. I had a hard time parting ways with items I hadn't used in I can't even remember the last time I had used them. I even had kept boxes from vacuums and other appliances that she kindly pointed out were taking up space that we could use to organize other items in. Apparently, I needed the permission to get rid of it. Which when I did get rid of them. It felt freeing! We sorted through all sorts of items. Anywhere, from a variety of keep sakes (my daughter trophy's, various photos, bday and holiday cards I had collected over the years), office supplies, to electronics (she helped me discern what to keep - and what to recycle - phew - so nice to know you can recycle electronics), kitchen cabinets, cleaning supplies, cleaning appliances in a closet, to paperwork that needed to be shredded and had piled up over time (which I got done), misc. bathroom items, linen closet to labeling. By the time we were done it was after 6pm and we had lot of empty cardboard boxes to recycle. Even though she had been here for 4 hours on a intense and detailed job.... with a mask on... On a hot day. She wanted to ensure she didn't leave any task for that day not completed. She offered to help me break down and take out every last box (I live on the 3rd floor) which we did. Then we scheduled an appt. for the next day so we could get some containers etc. to efficiently organize the items. Bye bye cardboard boxes. What started off as a 3 hour process. Ended up being a 9 hour job over a span of 3 days. I'm so grateful Kate was available 3 days in a row to keep the flow of the process going. I can go on and on. When you don't know where to start it's sure great to have someone who is a professional organizer help you. Kate is experienced, professional, amazing, friendly, funny, jovial and someone you will feel comfortable having in your home.

I was both impressed with her sense of style and her professionalism. The process started with her visiting our home to get a general sense of our style and to interview us about the project. She asked thoughtful questions and took detailed measurements of our current space. With a short time we had the initial designs and was surprised how close to the mark they were. I was expecting a number of rounds of back and forth before we got to that point so it showed she really had an understanding of our priorities and style. Since this was our first project, and I'm a very detail oriented person, I had a lot of questions and really wanted to understand everything about the process. She was patient and prompt when answering my questions and going over the details, sometimes repeatedly. I really appreciated that because I know we weren't her biggest client. I was also impressed with her taking the initiative and working with our general contractor to make sure we where all on the same page. This lessened my stress level knowing that things were going to plan. I couldn't recommend Maegan and team enough and am excited to start working with them on our new kitchen!

They guided us through the process, listened to our concerns and answered our endless questions. I had a vision of what I wanted our kitchen, office and powder room to become and the collaborative effort between us turned my vision into reality; even better than expected! They were sensitive to our budget constraints but still had recommendations for quality materials that elevated the design to a high level. Their recommended contractor was a perfect fit for our project and made construction run smoothly. What I appreciated the most is we worked together as a team to bring this beautiful project to life. Their expertise and design knowledge are unmatched. We're grateful to have worked with the Studio Stratton team.
