As a curvy short girl I'm often challenged by fit when attempting to buy quality clothes at an affordable price. I've found it helpful to simply buy discounted pieces and tailor to fit. However if alterations are too costly it will negate the discount. I appreciate Patti for keeping her prices affordable for fashionistas on a budget! She offers an upfront quote and definitely completes projects by guaranteed delivery date, if not before. Although the shop closes at 5p most weekdays Patti will accommodate a weekend fitting upon request. Plus the studio is clean, modern and super comfortable. I recommend Patti's Attic for all your sewing & alternation needs!

I had a dress I needed the straps taken in because they were too long and she did it in no time. It was done well before the day she actually told me it would be done.

My son was at Kidz Korner from three months old up until about a month before his second birthday…read more I am a first time mom so I didn't have any experience with daycares when I was looking for a place for my son. I do work in healthcare, specifically nursing homes, so I do know what to look for in terms of health and safety. Kidz Korner is a nice looking facility, the landscaping is kept up nicely and the toys are always put away neatly in the play yard. We were very happy with the care at first. Two of the teachers that they had in the infant room, Miss. Jill and Miss. Deb, were EXCELLENT!! I cannot say enough good things about them, really. They were very caring, attentive and friendly. They always had time to talk to a parent about any concerns and they were always so excited to share a milestone or an art project. You could tell that the infants had their undivided attention and were constantly engaged. Your child stays in the infant room until they turn one and then they are transitioned into the toddler room. The toddler room is where we started to notice a breakdown. It seemed like there was a revolving set of teachers in this room and none seemed to know what the other was doing. On several occasions, I'd pick my child up and he'd be in his spare set of clothes. When I would ask why, the response was usually "I don't know. It must have happened earlier in the day." Whenever I would drop off or pick up my child, I noticed that the teachers were not engaged with the kids at all. The kids would be running around playing and the teachers would be standing in a group talking. It went along fine for a while with a few bumps. There was a lice outbreak, several bouts of pink eye, an ant infestation in the toddler room, almost constant runny noses and coughs - but that is to be expected in this type of setting. I think they could have been much cleaner. We were assured by management on several occasions that the toys in the room were disinfected nightly but towards the end of our time at Kidz Korner, one of the teachers admitted that they did NOT disinfect the toys nightly - or hardly at all. At one point one of the teachers had a birthday party for her child, who was also in the toddler room, on a weekday. I thought that was very unprofessional because we then felt obligated to buy this child a present. It's not like we could "opt out" of the party because my child still had to go to daycare that day. We had started getting frequent (a couple of times a week) incident reports that our child was being bitten and reports that he was biting others. At one point he even came home with a bite mark on his cheek where you could clearly see both the upper and lower teeth marks. I didn't make a big deal over it because that's what kids do. They fight, shove, bite, have tantrums - it's the only way they are able to express their anger before they start talking. I didn't think anything of it until I was given a letter from the management staff in January. It stated: "This letter is to inform you that your child is being CONSIDERED for disenrollment due to biting. According to our records show that (child's name) has bit 6 times. Our policy is no more than three allowed." When I questioned the manager about this behavior and how it was being addressed, she told me they would separate the biter and give him or her a time out. I told her that he doesn't bite at home and she looked me straight in the eye and said: Oh, I'm sure he learned it here. So they were considering the disenrollment of my child for a bad habit that they admitted that he learned at their facility. That seemed very wrong to me. My husband and I immediately started looking at other facilities in the area, just in case. The next week I got a call in the AM from Kidz Korner saying that I had to come get my son because he bit someone. We went to get him and they told us that he couldn't come back. There was no discussion, no talk of other methods of discipline, nothing. They didn't even take us into a private area to discuss it. They announced his dismissal right out in the open, in front of other parents. It was so embarrassing that I wanted to cry. I asked how much time we had to find other placement for him and the manager said: "Oh no, he can't come back." When we got home I pulled out their policy book that we were given and there is no rule about biting. There is a very detailed discipline process for behaviors outlined step by step that they did not follow, in our case. Our child has been in his new daycare for a month and there has not been one report of biting. I now have no doubt that Kidz Korner was not properly monitoring the children, keeping them engaged and involved in activities. I would not recommend Kidz Korner.

The parking situation at Walmart had me a little confused because I don't know directions of Southwest.But I was able to find where the busses, which seemed like two would run a continuously. When dropped off, it was a short walk to get to the front to pay your entrance fee. You could use cash or credit. They had a small open field for where they did presentations. If you want to be able to sit down, I recommend coming a little early, otherwise you will either stand the whole time or you can choose to sit on the grass. It's not a very big place.So once you walk around, you kind of see all of the animals, some a little bit harder to spot. It's cool to see wolves and learn a little bit more about that them about the tigers and the bear. They also had silly safari come out to do a presentation which was really cool to be able to be up close and personal with some of the animals that they brought. They do have food that you can buy on site.If you're feeling a little hungry. We did get a raffle ticket, but I have no idea when the raffle was happening as we didn't stay all day .But overall, it was a fun experience.It's so you make it what it is.

When going there and back, it seems like there were 2 busses making frequent trips, so the wait was fairly short for the shuttle. The process of getting in was fairly quick and efficient, with separate lines for cash and credit. Near the entrance, there was a large space for watching presentations, which were fairly well done -- similar to what I've seen at other similar shows. It would have been nice to have some more bench seating, but this seemed sufficient -- with most patrons standing and some sitting down on the grass. The remainder of the facility featured animals scattered throughout different cages, and some chickens running around throughout the farm. During my visit, many of them were resting though at times they would walk around slowly. Some of the smaller animals were a bit more difficult to spot as they would blend into their surroundings. Overall, a fun experience and one of the few spots in the midwest where you'll be able to see several wolves together like this (I believe Wolf Park in Indiana and Brookfield Zoo are the other ones nearby Chicago - with other options in Ohio, Minnesota, and Missouri for a slightly longer trip).
