My experience with Sew What was a lesson in trust…read more I live super close to Grand Ave, so I called Tom's first after hearing glowing reviews but the phone rang approximately 10 rings without an answer. I started researching other options and came across this shop. I called them and they informed me that they could get my bridesmaid's dress done in a week. A week?! Nahhh, turn around is never that great with tailors and fancy dresses. I took it in 3+ weeks before the wedding with doubt in my heart. Two very helpful employees helped me problem solve the ill fit. They were both straight-forward about pricing and made an honest effort to creatively save me money. I ended up asking for pretty much all the alterations because I desperately wanted to look less like a silver sack. The employee who checked me out told me it would be done Thursday (only 5 days after I dropped it off)! HA! UNLIKELY! I left and awaited a call. They called me the next day to confirm alterations that would tack on another $30 before doing them and I agreed post haste. More waiting. 2 1/2 weeks later, I started to worry. I patted myself on the back for getting the dress in so early. I called them and the friendly lady on the phone asked when my dress was supposed to be done - I told her. She kindly responded that it was finished on the due date (3 weeks earlier) and I could come pick it up! I collected my dress and was informed by a cute, old lady that they don't call when something is done. They give you a due date and they stick to it. They only call if it is going to be late or if you haven't collected it after a long, long time. How dumb I felt!? Here I was doubting them and it took LESS THAN A WEEK! Shame on me. Overall, the work is lovely. My dress fits exactly how it should and the workmanship is impeccable. Their prices are comparable to any other high-quality tailor. Honestly, their reliability alone makes up for the price tag. So trust the cute little old lady and pick up your garment on the due date with confidence. tl;dr High quality work, reasonable pricing, 1 week turnaround, just don't expect a call when your garment is done.

The cost is about double what the other two shops I use in town charge for hemming a pair of pants.

I'm baffled by some of these comments and honestly I'm wondering if they actually went to a different location, because she is solid. She repaired large off-seam rips in expensive yoga pants and they look fantastic - $17 for the repair vs $120 for a new pair of pants. At times she has told me - "I'm not set up to do this job, but you can take it to XYZ shop and they can help,", which I appreciate. She is professional and I think she does pretty much everything on her own, so if you feel like she isn't being nice enough, maybe she is just in a hurry to get back to work (to be clear, that's *not* my experience at all). I have a ton of respect for this business and she's watching her grandkids at times to boot to help family.

The two who I worked with were incredibly nice, and definitely knowledgeable, they seemed to have a complete grasp on what I wanted. It only took a few days, and they were ready exactly when I was told they would be. They did exactly what I asked, and the pants both look much better on me, the work done was seamless. As far as value, I cannot really speak to that as this is the first tailor I've been to. However, I can say I was quite anxious going into this, and now I'm looking forward to getting more tailoring done by them!

Dropped the coat on December 9 and picked up December 23. Anita called and said I could pick up the coat so I could get it by Christmas and she would meet me there. The store was actually closed but she stopped in and said I could come By. The price I felt was reasonable. I could never have taken on that job. Thank you so very much Anita. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!! Oh yes the coat was one I wore in high school and my daughter loved it and had the liner done for her for Christmas!!! I can't forget that Anita fixed the pocket lining and a belt loop that had come loose. She noticed these things and she took care of it. I have used them over the years as well. Always great work!!!
