I am really....unnerved by this owner's tone deaf approach to professionalism and his dishonesty. Not once did I state my own political preferences to this man or argue with him. This is a place of business and, as such, I do not care to hear about his political views any more than he cares to hear about mine. I also spoke to the owner on the phone before driving down from Fallbrook and knew the price of the repair BEFORE attempting to drop off my sweater. The owner choosing to try and paint me as too poor for his service shows a lack of integrity and feels very on brand for him. Seeing as he is only in the business of serving the "1%" (in his own words) and I unfortunately work hard for my money everyday, I am not the target clientele for this company anyway and I am okay with that. read more

Incredible service! Stan is personable, very skilled, knowledgeable and reasonably priced. I've taken many sweaters to him and have consistently received superb service. I'm very thankful for this wonderful business! read more

They do incredible work! A moth had eaten two holes in a cashmere sweater that was a gift from my son. They expertly repaired the holes, matching the color of the sweater AND the weave. They mentioned they are retiring in a year or two so take your items needing repair, now. read more

I am so glad to have found Wonder Weavers. My husband had 2 wool sweaters that unfortunately had moth damage. I learned how to knit in hopes to remake his sweaters and then learned about Wonder Weavers. They repaired the sweaters like magic!! I can't even tell where the moth damages used to be. The attention to detail and the color matching is impeccable. It's a dying art for sure. I will definitely be bringing all sweaters to them from now on :) read more

Met with the owner & he ended up referring me elsewhere with thoughtful and specific advice. Took time with me and shared his extensive expertise discussing what might be best thing to do for the unraveling sleeves of my sweater. So appreciated it and have my beloved Scotland cashmere sweater back from the alterations place he recommended and repaired as he suggested. read more

Top craftsman with attention to detail, color, fabric, and thread matching. Five star work. The quality goes beyond repair and is restoration quality. read more

Yes, wonder Weaver was fantastic. Stand answered all my questions ahead of time before I sent my sweater into them for Repair and I got it back in a timely manner and I couldn't even tell where they had to re-woven that dog on moth hole. Great company would use them again in a heartbeat thanks Stan read more

Highly recommended! I accidentally tore a hole in my suit pants and was worried that they were permanently destroyed. Stan at Wonder Weavers was able to quickly repair the pants to almost new condition again. I'm so pleased! Fast, friendly service at a reasonable price. Saved me from having to buy a new suit. Thank you! read more

I had a great knit sweater that had a separated seam along the underarm (thx to a relative). I found Wonder Weavers 3 online, visited the owner at his small, easy-to-find location, left my sweater for a scheduled 4 weeks, and was called when it was perfectly repaired, exactly on schedule. I STRONGLY recommend this wonderful business, and will return myself. read more

I thought the sweater was ruined and it would just be a memento of my dad, but Carla and Stan did their magic and now I have it to pass down for generations. This is an old time letter sweater from the late 40's, that thick yarn that is so heavy and lovely. A green that was hard to match I am sure. It is back in style and my son in SF says that it is perfect for the weather there. I cannot thank them enough for their artistry. Under promised, over delivered. With a grateful heart. read more

A few years back I bought a pair of designer dress pants from Nordstrom's Rack at a great price, which needed to be shortened and a hole in the pocket needed to be repaired. The pair were shortened at my favorite tailor's years later before I started working for my current employer. As for fixing the hole, my mom had found this business that does reweaving of holes in clothes. I had leftover material from the tailors that I sent for the weavers to use. It's always preferred to have a sample or piece of the apparel fabric that this guy can use to do the repair. (Always good to save the packets or scraps of fabric that come with high end clothes in cases like this.) You pay half when you drop off the item then the remaining balance when you pick it up. I was amazed since it didn't look like there was ever a hole in these pants. They did a great job and if I had a repair that was needed while I was in San Diego, I'd trust these guys. read more

One of the very few talented weavers period. It is nearly impossible to find a place that will repair wools or knits the correct way. Dry cleaners more often than not will just repair sweater holes with a regular thread instead of replicating the actual knit. I had a sweater repaired here and the job was outstanding. It meant a lot to get it fixed and I was so happy I went to Wonder Weaver instead of getting the dry cleaner to do it. Make sure you get your knits done well before sweater weather. This place almost always gets booked and for good reason! read more

Stan is definitely the man!!! He repaired a moth hole in my husband's Burberry suit and you can't even see where the hole was!!! Awesome job!! read more

There is nothing better than someone with a passion and is perfection at his craft. Thank you for saving the day again and again. You are one of the greatest finds. read more

Saved my expensive Eileen Fisher sweater after a moth attack! He is very good- I highly recommend!

I've used these amazing people twice and will return again. How do they repair damaged clothing to look like new? They are great. The price and quality are just right. read more

I had my cashmere sweater repaired here and the work was impeccable. I was worried that the weave might be a little crooked because the sweater has horizontal stripes and the hole was right next to the transition from one color to the next, but you cannot even tell there was ever a defect or repair done. Would absolutely return with other garments in future. read more

Truly amazing business owners! I came in an hour before close and they fixed the seam of my dress within minutes since it was such a small fix! But truly so talented! Best of the best. Definitely go in ASAP as they're extremely busy during fall/winter!! read more

We high recommend Wonder Weaver. My husband's sweaters are like new! We are in Arizona and I had not found an acceptable source for reweaving, so I took a chance with Stan and Carla and could not be happier. Their pricing is reasonable and they are timely in doing the work. All good! read more

Wonder Weavers was a totally amazing experience and I can't say enough good things about Stan and his awesome work. I wouldn't pay any attention to the negative review below. I guess they're not used to living in the big city as far as the parking goes!! Stan did an amazing job fixing six big moth holes in a very very expensive muslin Commes des Garcons jacket I need for a job interview. He went wayyyyyyyy over the call of duty, took care of a few extra holes I missed and got it done earlier than expected all for a reasonable price. Keep in mind that true re-weaving is a skilled, labor intensive job and there are very few folks in the entire state that know how to do it well. Like a great magician it takes a long time to learn how to do it and do it well! This is a family business that has been around for over six decades for a reason!! read more

Wonder Weaver - 3 - Stan cleverly puts a colored thread where the moth hole used to be. Other wise it's almost invisible!!! - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - San Diego, California

Very happy with his work. He's very popular for a reason. You may have to wait a month to get your repair back, but t's woth the wait.

I had a rip in my suit pants. He mended the rip so that there was no trace of damage. He is an old school artisan who takes pride in his work. I highly recommend. read more

A cushion purchased in 2000 at the Cathédrale Notre-Dame. Went to Paris for the centennial and have so many memories there. My cushion is more of a woven needlepoint type of look. Stan did a wonderful job repairing the damage which saved my keepsake. His price was more than fair, and the work was done very quickly. read more

My mother used Wonder Weaver when the parents owned it 50 years ago. Now their son is doing the weaving and I am so happy they are still open. I take my sweaters and suits here if there is a hole and I can never see where the hole was after he is done. He just repaired a hole in my husbands favorite cashmere sweater and it looks beautiful & brand new. The work he does is perfect and truly amazing! Definitely the best weave repair anyone can ever use. It is definitely a skill that is hard to find. You will not be disappointed if you bring your favorite clothes here for hole repair. I highly recommend him. read more

An absolute gem of a shop. The owner is incredibly nice and experienced, he repaired a massive moth hole in my favorite sweater. A great price for great craftsmanship, I truly cannot recommend this place more. read more

Beautiful work, WW has restored several family items so that I can wear them again. The prices are very fair. You do need an appointment to drop off your items. When you arrive, you'll see why - there is very little parking here. Expect a three week timeframe for getting your garments back. I'm glad this business is still going strong! read more

High quality/Old World Craftsmanship at a reasonable price! Stan is amazing, kind and gives amazing customer service. My husbands high quality wool and mink sport coat had a sizeable moth hole in a noticeable place. Needing it for a professional last-minute trip to Europe, I was not sure if he could fix it without it being noticeable. Not only did he perform an amazing job - but did it in record time, knowing it was an emergency. Highly recommend without hesitation. A gem in our city! read more

Got the job done! I had a small hole on one of my nice pants. I thought it was impossible to get it fixed but Wonder Weaver did a great job. You can't tell the patch from afar. Very satisfied and saved me an expensive pants! read more

Stan is the man. He fixed a small hole in my favorite suit. It looks like new. I have no idea how he performs his voodoo black magic reweaving tricks but GODDAM he does good work. I'm a satisfied customer. read more

Working with Stan at Wonder Weavers is always delightful! He is pleasant, communicates clearly and does very good quality work. I am always confident my cashmere sweaters and wraps are in good hands - Stan is an artist and I am grateful for the services he provides. read more

I've got to give it to Stan, his work is literally magic. Brought my favorite pants in due to a small tear and when I got them back you could not even tell there was a rip of any sort. I appreciate the work he puts in and he's a nice guy. 10/10 would recommended and use his service again. read more

I have used Wonder Weavers periodically over the last 3O years. It's the go to place when I've ever had damage to a garment. Stan is an artist. You literally cannot see where the repair was made. A hole in my kilt brought me to Wonder Weavers this time. My Pipe band had a performance coming up and I needed the kilt in a hurry. Although Stan was busy, he did a rush job on the kilt which was greatly appreciated. Of course, the repair was flawless. Can not recommend this place highly enough. read more

I had a great experience getting my sweaters and pants repaired. My tailor recommended I take my items to Wonder Weaver and I am impressed with the results. read more

Stan is The Man!!! I was horrified to find that my 1940s vintage wool dress, which I inherited from my great-aunt, had a big moth hole front and center, recently. Coulda sworn I put it in the bag, but I didn't. Having lived in North Park most of my life, I have seen the Wonder Weavers sign for years. Jumped on Yelp and, after reading the glowing reviews, felt if anyone could help, Stan could. Oh happy dance. Less than 2 weeks later I have my dress back; good as it was before the moth had lunch. Had Stan not marked exactly where he rewove the fabric I honestly would have no idea, and I am very critical. TBH I wasn't expecting miracles, just to make it wearable again, but he seemingly waved a magic wand over the hole. Even in bright sun, I cannot see the mend. If you have vintage cloths that need mending, do not hesitate to go here. I won't!! read more

Great service and repair. It was recommended to me by Nordstrom in fashion valley. On time, no hassle. Went ot of his way to repair a difficult defect on my tux jacket. I would recommend Stan to do your weaving repairs. read more

Stan was highly recommended from my tailor. I have a custom made suit from Hong Kong after taken to the cleaner, I discovered two small holes on my pants!! Stan did an amazing job in repairing it back to normal. I am very pleased and would highly recommend him to anyone who have holes in your clothing. read more

If ever faith in the greatness of people can be found in a humble shop, Wonder Weavers is just such a place. I had brought my suite to be pressed at the shop where I purchased it and I noticed some unsavory critters had snacked on it while it was packed away for the past year and a half. They recommended I go to Wonder Weavers to see if anything could be done. Not only was it done but it was done very well and in unbelievably record time. I was leaving to head back to Guam where we are stationed in a few days. Despite being slammed with other orders Stan went above and beyond by working overnight to get it to me in time for my flight out. I really can't say enough about the obvious pride in workmanship and the sincere care about his customer that I experienced. Outstanding Job! Thank you Wonder Weavers. Very respectfully, Paul Witt read more

Before the terrific "magic" that Stan Stafford the owner/proprietor of Wonder Weaver performs becomes a distant memory I want to convey my sincere appreciation for his considerable talent and also for his invariably irrepressible and charismatic aplomb during the entire process when he recently fixed a tear etc., in my relatively very expensive Etro sport coat. Whenever you're in need of such services I highly recommend that you give Stan a call and/or better yet visit him in person to allow Stan to view your merchandise/your potential repair first-hand so that Stan can then provide you with a straightforward, meaningful and fair assessment of what can be done to repair the anomaly. So please give Stan a call today. You'll be glad you did! Fred Harden III 1-13-2020 Rancho Santa Fe, CA read more

Stan repaired a few moth holes in a wool suit jacket. The repairs are nearly imperceptible and won't be noticed unless shown where to look. This was a rush job and the price wasn't ridiculous. He also included a nice garment bag for future storage of my wool suit. I really appreciate good work and wish Stan many more years of success. read more

I have been taking items to Wonder wearers for years . They have repaired wool jackets and many sweaters that the moths had damaged . When they are finished with the repair you would never know that the item had been damaged . The have saved some of my favorite pieces of clothing - highly recommended. read more
