A Women Latin owned business that does fantastic work at a great price. I have been bringing my clothes her for over a decade and she has never disappointed me. I send all my friends here and would highly recommend her to everyone. She recently altered a suit of mine and it fits perfectly. The jacket and pants look like they were custom made. Made an average off the rack on sale suit look like so much more expensive.

The total price was $80 for 3 wide flowing stretch pants to be ready in 2 weeks. Over the weekend, I realized it was best to just get the pants and return to the store for a smaller size which would save me money. I came today, Monday, requesting my pants back and for a refund. I used a card to make the purchase. The owner, an older woman, wanted me to get store credit for future alterations. However, I was not satisfied with that as an option since the pants were not worked on and I used a card and not cash. There was no telling if and when I would back for more alterations There was multiple conversations of back and forth in Spanish speaking language. The woman indicated that when a card is charged she gets a fee. I questioned how much the fee was and she then decided to give me $70 cash. I was very appreciative of that gesture instead of not receiving anything. I told the lady thank you. She ignored me. I told her thank you again. She said no take your business elsewhere do not come back here! I told her I come in here very respectful and have brought business here before and you want to be rude to me! Now if the pants were being worked on that's a difference. But my pants were not touched! I'm so disappointed in how I was treated. I have never had an experience like this! Extremely disappointed.

Have you been touched by the glitz of Yelp and you don't want to sew anymore? Whatever the reason you have lost respect and at least one customer.

An update. Griselda is doing so well she has now moved into her own space. She's not sharing with a…read morehair salon any more! Griselda is a hidden gem. The quality of her work is very very good. You won't even know the item has been tailored when she is done. You need an original hem on jeans? - she is the best I've been to so far. You need a suit to hug you just right? She's the woman. She must have the eyes of a hawk to get those seams to line up so perfectly! Griselda used to work for Nordstrom's tailoring - and you'll see her awards up on the wall. So I definitely am a fan of the quality of Griselda's work, and if by chance something isn't quite right she will gladly fix it - often times on the spot while you wait! But, there are a couple of caveats to using her. First, be explicit about what you want. She has a little bit of an accent and sometimes I find her a little difficult to understand. There were a couple of times she had to re-do items. Forgot to keep the cuff one time, needed to shorten something just a little bit more. But like I said she will gladly fix - and often on the spot while you wait. BTW watching her take it apart and fix it in a matter of minutes is fascinating! But I should also mention that I am unusually short and petite and I tend to take in a dozen or more items at a time - so instructions sometimes get confused between items. Also, most tailors underestimate how small I am. I think the general rule is to ere on the side of a little big. For me, it's not uncommon after the work is done that just a bit more needs to be taken up or taken in. So if you are just taking one item in every once in awhile - then you can disregard this comment. She's a one man-shop (maybe not literally, but pretty much), and she literally shares space with a hair salon. They kind of blocked off this room, where she works from. It is a separate space with a storage area for her tailoring, sewing machines and a small changing room. It's not as weird as it sounds - but I was a little confused the first time I went. Her hours are 9-4 M-F and 9-6 Sat. I've only gone to her on Saturdays - and her hours on Sat are a little "fluid". I think M-F she is a little more stable, but definitely call her before you head over there on a Sat - there have been times that she was not open or was doing a half day. But if she isn't there that day, she'll offer to meet you at a schedule time if she can. Did I mention one-man shop? Basically, you almost feel like you are going to your friend's mom who happens to be a tailor. (Griselda has met me on a Saturday while getting ready for a wedding with big rollers in her hair. haha!) But instead of meeting at her house, you meet at a hair salon. As shady as this sounds I promise you it isn't. She does terrific work. Because I am so small and short (no I'm not a "little person" but pretty darn close), I am always on the hunt for good tailors. Griselda was the 3rd tailor I tried in Sacramento before I was satisfied. Why not 5 stars? Because no one compares to my hometown favorite Timmy the Taylor in Boston.

Mark is incredibly friendly and goes out of his way to make sure everything is perfect. The first time I came in, he greeted me like an old friend, took the time to understand what I needed, and even offered to rush my order without me asking. That kind of service is rare these days. My clothes always come back spotless, well-pressed, and ready on time. He's honest, dependable, and treats you with respect -- like you actually matter, not just another transaction. If you want great dry cleaning and even better customer service, this is the place. Support local -- support Mark!

Her spot is a little house near Broadway, you walk in through a white gate and ring the door bell. She is super sweet and you can't beat the price and turn around time. To get the sleeves AND length shortened on my jacket was only $55 (for reference other shops quoted me $200+). Her work is incredible. It makes me sad to see some of the other reviews making remarks that she is working out of her home and that the clothes smell like food. I didn't notice any smell on my stuff or have an issue with her business being in her home. But maybe I'm just not a snob ‍ Highly recommend 10/10! Note: Cash only

She did an EXCELLENT job, in a very short amount of time. Not only is she incredibly talented, she is wonderful to work with! I enjoyed the experience and I LOVE my dress! The high quality work and attention to detail is truly remarkable. During our initial phone call, she took the time to answer all of my questions and didn't rush me. She didn't pressure me to go with her, made me feel comfortable and said she would be able to fit me in just in time for my wedding. My first fitting was such a positive experience! She is incredibly bright and insanely talented. She is friendly and personable. When I went to the second fitting to pick up my dress, I was truly stunned. I have never used the word "snatched" before, but she made me look "snatched". I never wanted to take my gown off. She transformed it into a work of art. My mom needed help when steaming my dress on the day of my wedding, and I didn't know what to do. I gave her my phone and had her call Carole. Carole was so kind and helpful and went above and beyond. I am so grateful for Carole! TLDR: Carole is absolutely AMAZING and will make you look and feel BEAUTIFUL on your wedding day.

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.
