My previous review was on behalf of my boyfriend. This one is for me. Angela embroidered a beautiful baseball hat for me in my favorite shade of purple! Soon, we'll be working on altering a leather vest for me to wear while motorcycle riding! So happy to have found a shop and owner of said shop that is very friendly, easy to work with, and has integrity and pride in the work produced by her and the ladies who work for her! read more

Sew Fabulous - My purple baseball hat from Angela at Sew Fabulous! - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Summerville, South Carolina

I can't recommend Sew Fabulous based on my experience. I hope this helps anyone who's considering using them, because I wish I had paid closer attention to reviews before booking. I chose Sew Fabulous because it's close to my home, a friend had a good experience with them, and I was willing to pay more for quality and convenience. My dress was an Azazie bridesmaid dress, and I only needed the hem shortened. I booked six weeks in advance, so there was no rush fee. I paid the required $75 appointment fee, changed into my dress, and the hem was pinned in just a few minutes. When the estimate was calculated, I was quoted $255 to hem the dress. I understand every business has the right to set its own prices, and I'm not criticizing them for charging what they believe their work is worth. I was simply caught completely off guard. My dress cost around $80, and based on conversations with others--including someone who had used this shop for a similar dress--I had no reason to expect a quote anywhere close to that amount. I politely asked if the estimate was correct because I genuinely thought there might have been a calculation error. Instead of feeling like there was room for a conversation or even a second look at the estimate, I immediately felt like the focus shifted to explaining their policies and that the $75 appointment fee would not be refunded if I chose not to proceed. While I understand those policies are posted and businesses have every right to protect their time, I left feeling like there was very little effort to understand why I was so surprised or to work through the situation with me. The price itself wasn't what bothered me most--it was how the interaction was handled. I came in intending to hire them, not to shop around or waste anyone's time. Walking away without any work done but still out $75 left me feeling taken advantage of rather than cared for as a customer. If you do choose Sew Fabulous, I strongly recommend asking for a rough price range before paying the appointment fee so you know whether it's within your budget. I also recommend understanding their payment policies ahead of time, as they differ from many alteration shops. This is only my personal experience, but it wasn't one that left me feeling valued as a customer, and because of that, I wouldn't return or recommend them. read more

Please improve your communication about online bookings. Not only did I get an online confirmation. I also received two text messages from this establishment reminding me of the appointment that day and then an a death note 30 minutes before saying you have an appointment in 30 minutes. I arrive and they told me they were four weeks out for the dress and I told them when I needed it made the appointment and told him what I needed on wine. Wasn't a problem when I booked it the problem was when I tried to go in and have a fitting done. The girl that spoke to me was rude. I immediately found a different place went had a fitting done that day. Have the dress picked up and ready for the black tie wedding we're going to. read more

A dress and pants to hem. $101 and had to wait a month, no problem. But then they wanted me to pay in advance. I don't like to pay in advance for things because often times things come up. I was told that was their policy and I asked for my items back. I can buy a sewing machine and learn to do a simple hymn myself. Very disappointed.. read more

Came to have a dress hemmed. My plans for the dress changed before the work had been done (like within 30 minutes of being measured and the dress dropped off) and they allowed me to pick it up and refund for all but the fitting, and were very understanding. The (owner I think?) person who helped me was very understanding and helped me make choices with the dress that were going to be best for my situation, which i really appreciated. I would definitely return. read more

I didn't want much and they accomplished right away and at the right price. Many thanks!

My 9 year old daughter recently attended the summer camp and had an absolute blast. She loved learning a new skill and is already asking to go back for more lessons. The small class size made it ideal for beginners. We will be coming back for classes and for any alteration needs. The staff was very nice and welcoming. read more

Ms Angela was a complete angel to work with!! A blessing for me, because she was very affordable and fast. I had pre wedding jitters and she put me at ease! Friendly and affordable. I would definitely recommend her for future alterations! I'm so glad I found her! read more

Since retirement, I've lost 25 pounds and a fair number of my favorite garments just don't fit properly anymore. With the turn of the weather to winter, I was particularly missing my fleece lined wool vest. It hung on me like a tent. Thank God for Angela! She took on the task of ripping out the quad stitched seams and expertly trimming a full four inches out of the garment and then masterfully putting it back together, all so I could be warm and snug. Bless her! It was worth every penny of the very affordable price. read more

Angela was very professional. She made me look great for my graduation and I would recommend her to anyone! Everything was done in a very timely manner as well. read more

I was in need of a seamstress to hem some pants and was lucky enough to discover one living in my own neighborhood. Angela did such a great job and took pains to find new thread that exactly matched the color of my pants. They were expertly hemmed and now fit perfectly. I highly recommend her services. Thank you, Angela! read more

Very satisfied! I needed a hem done on a bridesmaid dress with a train and it came out great!
