I've been to Sew Simple many times now for different alterations and they always do a good job. My now husband even got his wedding suit altered there and it looked great! Normally she asks that you give her 2 weeks for large alterations but she usually finishes items quicker than that. A few months ago, I had to have a bridesmaid's dress hemmed for me that weekend and the owner rushed the dress and was able to complete it in 3 days! I highly recommend this business read more

I brought pair of trousers here last month for a wedding I was going to be in and she was very kind and efficient! It was finished sooner than the estimate, and very affordable. I'll certainly be going back. read more

Wonderful hard working seamstress. Perfect job, reasonable price. Finished a day ahead of time and called me.

Have been looking for a good tailor for so long and my search is over! Brought in a rush job dress that needed altering and she creatively solved my problem. On top of that was so friendly and kind. While I was there noticed something that had gotten on the dress (a spot) and she helped me get it out rather than penalizing me for the dress not being "clean." Will definitely be back. read more

After several more visits, each with some surprising unpleasant experience, I don't think I will return to this tailor. I brought in a sweatshirt and a henley and asked for the sleeves to be taken in. The tailor said she didn't have the sort of sewing machine to work on some portion of both items. I was okay with the hem being different than the original. She asked if I was sure several times, in a tone discouraging me from having the alteration done there. As she was taking measurements, she asked a question about the cuffs. I couldn't understand and asked if she could repeat her question. She got very frustrated and began raising her voice and tugged the cuff in a rough way. When I got the items back, the seams/hems themselves were fine, but the fit around the underarm is saggy. read more

Yelp, you've done me good again. I went to Sew Simple for an alteration to a chiffon dress after reading great reviews on Yelp. First off, the shop is located in the same building as Evergreen and the new Wedge Table, so you can drop off your clothes and get a great meal next door while you're at it. I had two issues with my dress: I needed it hemmed and widened, and to add complexity to the situation, I did not have additional fabric to add on to the dress. So, the fabulous seamstress made lemons out of lemonade and took the fabric from the bottom part of my dress and used that as the paneling. Voila! A few weeks later - at a faster pace than I needed - the dress was ready, and it now fits very nicely and looks great. The pricing is also very reasonable, a great deal for the quality work you get. I don't get my dresses altered, but when I do, I go to Sew Simple. read more

I had a great experience here! The owner is so friendly and cute. She offers low and reasonable prices, too. Thank you so much!!

They do a great job and the prices can't be beat and the job will be done on time and she's not far from where I live so use her if you want a great job done read more

Brought in a maxi skirt and tricky pair of wide leg / flowing pants to be hemmed and she did a wonderful job. Very quick, thorough, reasonably priced. Will definitely return for future alterations. read more

This place may provide good alterations but the costumer service is abismal. I brought in a bridesmaid's dress that needed to be taken out. It was a last minute alteration and I didn't have more than 4 days. The lady that was in the store proceeded to yell at me about how I was being delusional about the dress being done on time; my reaction was okay I will just go somewhere else. Oh no, it doesn't end here. Said lady made me try the dress anyways and when I did she started making body shaming remarks about me to my face. I didn't really care for her tone nor poor attitude. I will never come back to this place. And if the owner is reading this make sure your employees have some basic customer service skills and don't yell stuff at you like "dress too small, you too large". read more

Great experience here. Super friendly and helpful. She was able to fix my dress and get it back to me in just a couple of days! Great for my tendency towards procrastination. read more

They always say, never give up the name of a good tailor. But in this case, I just have to! Dropped off a pair of dress pants yesterday and the TINY (think Hobbit-sized) Asian woman was behind the desk. I proceed to tell her that I need the clasp fixed on some pants and she nods and says, "You need today?" I say, "Tomorrow is fine." The job cost $2. TWO! Unreal price. Flawless execution. Unreal turnaround and the NICEST woman. When I picked them up tonight, there were 4 other people waiting on pick-ups! Word must be getting out, and I'm just thrilled for her! This place is next to Evergreen, so you know it's #ghetto. Will be back again and again, and sing this woman's praises! 5 stars all the way! read more

Great and professional service! I took my wedding dress for alterations and the lady did an amazing job! She was so nice and very kind. Sew Simple is a amazing hidden gem! read more

I highly recommend this place! I needed a dress taken in for an upcoming wedding I will be attending. The dress was done within 5 days and now the dress fits perfectly. I will definitely be coming back to Sew Simple! read more

The woman who helped me did a wonderful job tailoring my jacket for my wedding! She was also incredibly kind. I would recommend to anyone!

I recently had a dress for a wedding altered at Sew Simple. I was terrified.. but they pulled through and did a FANTASTIC job. They also called to tell me that it was ready 2 days before when they had said it would be ready, which was great! I would come back here for sure, and recommend it to anyone. read more

I'm the owner of Blacklist Vintage and having Sew Simple in the store has been amazing. I trust chia to mend a victorian dress or shorten 1950s skirt. Her turn around time is very quick! Plus, she gives 10% to customer's who want to alter a Blacklist Vintage purchase. I highly recommend! read more

My bridesmaid dress was too long. I had never gotten a dress shortened so I was pretty nervous. I found Sew Simple by Googling tailors near me. I noticed they had good reviews so I took a chance. I called ahead of time to see how long it would take. I would highly recommend doing this as soon as possible to make sure you have a good idea. I was lucky enough that the dress would take two weeks and it was two weeks and a couple of days before the wedding. As I was leaving the first day (when I was leaving my dress), I quickly mentioned that the back also needed an eye (the thing to hook to). When I went to pick it up (she called me to let me know it was ready), I was amazed. The dress was perfect. It looked exactly like the way I got it, but just an inch shorter. I also thought she forgot the eye at first, but I saw it later! She just made it very small and matched the thread so well I missed it! I'm super happy with this place. 100% coming back. Only advice I would give people is to keep in mind that it's a small store. I only saw one woman working, so have patience and be clear with what you want. They also have a great website! Lists all of the prices. read more

Needed some pants tailored for a wedding and only had 5 days to spare. They were done on time and fit perfect.

Fair prices and fair work. Though due to the language barrier, ordering what you desire can be a difficult process. Additionally, they don't call back like they say, or have the clothes ready in the promised aloted time read more

This place does quality work, quickly and at reasonable prices. End of story.

Excellent, swift and super friendly service. They've got a new fan in me and I would definitely recommend this place to everyone!

I was nervous about where to take my bridesmaid dress for alterations but chose Sew Simple based on their reviews. I'm so glad I had my dress done here! She did an excellent job and called to remind me to pick up my dress on the day it was finished. I would definitely recommend this company! read more

I brought in a jacket I needed altered for a performance in a week, and she said no problem. The price was reasonable. However, when I came to pick up, she had nit yet syat3d it, and said it was not her fault. Really caught me in a bind. read more

I needed a bridesmaid dress hemmed so I brought it here after reading Yelp reviews and reddit recommendations. She did a fantastic job at a reasonable price, and very quickly too. It's a tiny little shop in a little strip-mall type building, but don't be put off by appearances! I will definitely use her services again, and recommend her without any reservations. read more

MOVED. New location is now above Evergreen Restaurant, 2424 Nicollet Ave S down the street from old location. Same great service.

Brought in a pair of designer jeans that had a tear. Work was of a lesser quality than expected but the repair was cheap so 3 stars.
