How It All Started.... Around the first of March in 2015, Daniel and his beloved boxer Bailey Parker, (a.k.a. Boo Boo) moved from their home in Carbondale, Illinois to Cape Girardeau, Missouri. In a somewhat early state of retirement, Daniel found himself getting bored easily. Having sewed from age 7, taught by his Grandmas Glasco & Miller, he would sit at home and work on projects. His daughter and family suggested that he set up a small room where he could go, to get out of his house, and do his sewing and quilting that he loved so much. He found a location at 1217 North Kingshighway in Cape. While working on a quilt one day, his daughter called him and asked if he would have time to hem a client of her's dress. Of course he accepted. Then another call from a family member to rebuild a dress for her senior prom. Then another friend, then another from his daughter's client... His family would call him and ask where he was or where he was going, he would always say to sew, so the name started as, "so your going to your sewing room?" Today, some years later, The Sewing Room is in its 4th and final location. Having grown to a now 1,200 sq ft working environment. No longer are the hours or when I want to go in, but set shop hours of Monday - Friday 9:00am to 5:30pm. Daniel continues to carry the company phone with him 24 hours a day, for those "when an emergency arises". Daniel built this company on the philosophy of "no need too big or too small"... Today that still holds true. For some the need is hemming, others repair, others quilting, but the best is just to come in and get some love from Boo. No matter what your need, we are here for you!! read more

All around great experience! I have asked for last minute alterations & ones that have had plenty of time to be done. He has always came through with the job well done & prices are always lower than expected. He is always polite, thorough about the alteration so we're all on the same page, he has contacted me if there's a question just to make sure about things. I have even taken a school field trip shirt to him to fix that another person completely messed up, hoping he could fix it. Once he was able to see it he called immediately, said he tried, & there was no fixing it. Trust me it was bad folks so I wasn't surprized it couldn't be saved. He ran across town to pick up another for me, took it home, & done his magic! He also did not charge me any extra for the headache I gave him. The only time I have ever asked for an alteration & didn't get what I wanted, is when he was sick & unable to work. I will continue to use The Sowing Room for alterations & will continue to recommend. read more

My daughter had made it to her senior year without needing any alterations on her formal dresses so I had no idea where to start. I came across The Sewing Room by chance and had waited entirely too long. Daniel got us in right away with no hesitation and was able to alter her dress to fit her perfectly in plenty of time for the dance. He also happily replaced some of the hot beads which was something we asked for extra. His price and customer service was a pleasant surprise especially with us coming to him late. Daniel took the stress out of what could have been a very stressful situation. I will be using The Sewing Room for all of my future alteration. read more

I have used the sewing room on three different occasions over the last year. On all three occasions I had patches that needed to be sewn on some motorcycle vests or modifications to a suit, that no one else would do in the cape and Jackson area. Every time, I was able to get my articles back completed ahead of time and exactly like I asked. i don't know the owners name, but he is a good guy who definatly cares about his work. read more
