I am going to sign up for the next class since it fits my busy schedule and try and tackle a slightly more challenging project that I can wear! Definitely recommend taking her classes. If you don't have a sewing machine, no worries. She has machines on site that you can use to get a sense if you want to continue on or just do one class to see what sewing is like. She also does alterations and a master zipper fixer .

She not only did an amazing job with the alterations but also gave me great ideas on how to style my dresses differently--and they turned out even more beautiful than I imagined.

I brought her a pair of jeans that needed to be hemmed, she was super nice and we agreed what…read moreshould be worked on. I paid her $50 for a simple pair of jeans, but I thought jeans are difficult work so it's reasonable to pay that much... When I picked up I noticed she decided to do a single stitch instead of a normal denim stitch but she told me it was good. After 2 washes, the jeans split where she sewed them. I brought them back to her and she said "I didn't do this, it's not my work" which is actually nuts because I'm like - I stood in this room with these jeans with you not long ago. She acted like she didn't know me. I got 3 dresses and these jeans. All very expensive which is fine if it's good work but this is insane. I venmo'd her for the work so I can't even dispute with my credit card company.

I wish that Yelp allowed for 6 star reviews because Sarah would deserve it…read more I took my lace wedding dress to the 2 best rated tailors in Boston, no exaggeration, both made Best of Boston and they both were extremely disappointing. I frantically emailed Sarah 4 days before my wedding because I had finally given up when the last tailor STILL after 4 fittings didn't get my train correct. Sarah calmly took my dress and made it beautiful. She fixed everything and redid much of the work that was sloppily done from before. I swear that it looked like a different more beautiful dress once Sarah had it for 48 hours. I recommend any bride getting married between Boston and Portland, ME to come to Sarah if you want your dress to be in the best hands.

Sarah is a miracle worker when it comes to alterations. I purchased my wedding dress off the rack…read moretwo years ago and it was six sizes too large for me! She COMPLETELY deconstructed my dress and rebuilt it (there wasn't one piece of that dress that wasn't reworked!) over a matter of two months. Her talent is simply amazing, not to mention she is also very personable and a joy to work with. Oh, and her prices were extremely reasonable, which was a real plus for a bride on a budget! She has a cute little shop in the time and temp building (she talked about moving, so definitely give her a call to confirm where she's at)... I highly recommend Sarah for any of your tailoring and alterations needs!
