Review from Gwen A.

I've been to this place probably 4 times. The first two times everything worked out okay. I got my pants done and left content. Though she was never friendly.
Then I went in another time asking her to do something to a pair of pants that wasn't as simple as "cut and stitch," and she told me it was "impossible." It couldn't be done! I kind of gave her a look because I was looking at it and if I were decent with a sewing machine, I think even I could have done it. Granted, it wouldn't have looked perfect, but that's because I don't sew. When she saw my look, she told me nobody would do it. So I left. I took it just up the street to another person, told her what I wanted, and no problem. She didn't even bat an eye. They were done the next day just the way I wanted them.
So I dismissed her previous inability to meet my request, and chalked it up to her being a one trick pony (basic hems only). I went back to her again simply because the location was convenient. We measured my pants. I saw where they were hanging and when I brought them home the next day, they were a good 2 inches too short. No material left to even let them out some. $150.00 pair of jeans ruined before I even got to wear them! A few months pass and I find myself there with another pair of jeans. I just didn't have time to go somewhere else and I thought maybe it was just a freak accident. I mean the first 2 times were fine. And sure enough.... she does it again!! Needless to say, I've never once gone back and never will again. I'd be better off reverting back to the 80's and pegging my pants!
I warn against going here. I've had 2 friends that have had the exact same thing happen. To be clear, both of the times it happened, it was when I was having her keep the original hem. The 2 times she didn't mess my pants up, they were dress pants. Perhaps she less than a 1 trick pony, because keeping an original hem apparently isn't a strength either.
