Carol provides amazing service and is using her talent and skill to bless others! She altered a romper for my petite frame and she returned it to me in a timely fashion. She is not only an amazing seamstress, you can see love pouring out from her as a person! Thank you Carol!

Did an absolutely fantastic job taking in the waist of my jeans. Super friendly, quick turn around, and reasonably priced.

I was so happy to find Carol, she patched up a couple old shirts and hemmed two pairs of new pants for me. She is easy to talk to and does old fashioned quality work at a fair price, just perfect!

Carol saved my daughter's homecoming dress and very last minute. I really appreciate the work she does

She was great! My fitting took a while (my dress had a lot of layers) and time went by so fast because she was so pleasant to talk to! I was nervous to trust anyone with my wedding dress, but after getting it back I had no reason to worry. She did an incredible job. My dress fits like a glove. I would go see her for any of my alteration needs!

Absolutely incredible business! She does great work, has great materials, skills, and efficiency.

I take jeans over there to be patched and they're well done and very well matched in terms of color.

Most importantly for me, the amount of times I've had to reschedule has been honestly embarrassing and she's been flexible about it and still super kind!

When my toddler's beloved baby blanket began falling apart, Carol came to the rescue! I was able to drop it off the same day I called, and she had it repaired within the hour. It looked as good as new! She was very sweet, and I really appreciate her squeezing this in so quickly so my son didn't have to go without it for the night. Thank you Carol!

She is one of the best. Does exactly what u want. She pays attention to detail. I highly recommend her. Especially when you are in a time crunch.

I almost never write reviews, but I had to take a minute to express my gratitude for Carol here. She is such a kind and talented professional, and she altered my wedding dress so beautifully. Thank you Carol for your amazing work.

Friendly, curteous, and welcoming.
This is a small in - home business with a lovely setup. They have masks for sale if you need one!

Carol is the sweetest lady you'll ever meet! Her business is ran out of her home, however it is very professional and clean. She follows all COVID protocols. I went to Carol to get a corset stitched in for my wedding dress. I got the dress back in October of 2020. My fitting was 6/25/21 and it turned out that the dress fit perfectly (I had lost some weight after purchasing the dress) and she did not need to alter anything. She did not try to upsell me any other services and was kind enough to take photos of me, my shoes, my veil, and my dress at different angels. She will never force her opinions on you and will make sure you are comfortable with your options and choices before moving forward with a decision. Her prices are the probably the best in town and definitely the cheapest in terms of corsets. I have another fitting appointment with her and am very satisfied with her services.

Carol was very friendly and patient, she nailed every detail. I appreciate her altering the liner for my military jacket perfectly and in a quick turn over time despite how busy she was! Will definitely find excuses to return for any other clothing alterations I might need in the future.

Had a sewing project and Carol more than met my expectations. She was very fast, did quality work, and all for a great price.

Carol was amazing to work with! She’s so friendly and genuine; it feels like you’re visiting a good friend!

She’s incredibly fast and efficient; I needed my wedding dress shortened, straps added, my wedding isn’t until July so there was no rush yet she still had it done in almost no time at all.

Also, price. WAAAY less expensive than David’s Bridal or other such businesses while producing MUCH better quality and way more professional customer service.

I elected to not try on my dress when I picked it up and a few days later, when I’d finally tried it on after alterations, found I needed a bit changed on the straps.
I texted Carol and she booked me an appointment right away to get it taken care of.
I brought it over and ten minutes later I was back on my way with my dream wedding dress ready to go!

As long as Carol wants to continue offering her services to the rest of us that could never have the coordination, talent, or patience this kind of work takes, I will never go to anyone but her for alterations!
I can’t say enough good things about her or how easy and fun she made this otherwise stressful process.
Definitely recommend!

I have gone to Carol twice now and I will not go anywhere else ever again! First when you interact with Carol she is always friendly and it feels like you have known each other forever! She is very quickly and does a fantastic job. She has fixed a seam on my favorite leggings that has held up better than the original seam and she has altered two pairs of shorts for me and was able to do everything I need with them! Go to Carol!

She is great! Fixed zipper and pockets on my hunting pack. Cheap and quick and reliable. Definitely going back to her!

I purchased two skirts online that ended up being way too long for me when they arrived. Carol hemmed them so that they are no longer dragging on the floor.

She was quick, polite, and professional.

I bought a formal pantsuit with a lace jacket to wear to my nephews wedding in mid January. As usual, I needed to have the pants and jacket shortened. I sew but knew this was more than I could handle. I called Carol to make an appointment to have the alterations done. She got me right in and had the outfit ready for me in 3 days. The job she did is beyond what I expected. She was even able to take the lace edging from the portion she cut off and attach it to the new length of the jacket. I am very pleased with my I would definitely recommend her to anyone needing professional alterations. Thank you Carol! Dede
