She insists there's no such thing as a "bad stitch." She just wants you to love what you've created and enjoy the process. I would 100% recommend her to anyone.

Alla taught me how to knit! My first go at knitting was in a one on one class with her, I knew nothing and in 1 hour she taught me how to knit. She was very encouraging and exhorted me to a level of confidence that once I got home, even though I lost everything, I was able to start completely from scratch and do it again. I can't wait to finish my scarf so I can book another 1 on 1 so she can help me with a new project. Truly, my dream was to learn and she is truly truly a gifted teacher!, read more

Alla is truly the spirit that makes America so beautiful. I came to her back in Feb 2018 to alter a bridesmaid dress that I needed completed pretty quickly and she did great! I was so impressed that we got to chatting and found out her passion is in teaching sewing. I took one on one sewing lessons from Alla consistently after until I had to move out of the state in Aug 2020. She taught me so much that I now have confidence in doing a lot of my own work. Although she is focusing now on pillows, (meditation, seating, etc.) she does it with top quality. read more

She was so kind and sweet with my toddler, the fitting was a much easier than I expected. We were so happy with our result too! Thank you, Alla! read more

I signed up for knitting classes and Alla is the instructor at Piney Creek Yarn, it was a pleasure learning in the first class, as I had no experience, but Alla showed so much patience with the class and told us not to be so hard o ourselves, that it would come. Now I am looking forward to the third class with Alla, I just love her demeanor and her teaching style. As long as Alla is instructing in Knitting, I will sign up for her classes. She also is versed in crochet, so in the future , I am looking forward to Alla teaching me how to crochet. read more

Alla is no longer doing alterations but she IS giving 1:1 sewing lessons and is a FANTASTIC teacher and is currently taking on new students. I've been taking lessons from her for 2 months now and it's been so informative. Alla is so nurturing and immediately put my nerves at ease. I reached out to Alla because I wanted to learn to alter my own clothes so they would have a tailored fit without having to pay exorbitant amounts of money to someone else. Each week I bring an article of clothing I would like tailored and we go through the alterations together. Highly recommend! read more

Alla is a very customer focused, honest and quality driven professional. We had a great pleasure meeting and working with her on designing and sewing our bench cushions. It is hard to find an honest and efficient professional like her these days especially considering how reasonable her fees are. We look forward to working with her on the next project, pillows and curtains. I highly recommend her! read more

I have been going to Alla's for years now. Truly one of the kindest people I've ever met. Reminds me so much of my Nana - they would've been great friends :) read more

I shopped around to have some jeans hemmed. I found Alla on Yelp with good reviews. She only charged $10 to hem jeans and it only took a few days. She did a good job. The only downside is that it is a private home in Centennial. She has a sewing room in her house with a place to try on clothes for alterations. So you must call before you come over. I would go back and highly recommend her. read more

Alla's Alterations - Sewing & Alterations Near Me

Alla is a miracle worker! I needed a bridesmaid dress taken in and hemmed with about a week timeline and while I was stressed about the short timeline, Alla was confident in reassuring that not only could she meet it, but she could have it done early. She's very hospitable and the flexibility in her schedule is uncanny to any other business, she allowed me to come in after my work (around 4:30) and as a courteous tip always be sure to call in and schedule first! Even when I came in to pick up the dress she noticed a slight issue in the hemming and fixed it right on the spot with such a short wait time. We puts real quality in her work and she wants you to walk away 100% satisfied. I appreciate everything she's done and while she was thankful I called her I'm definitely walking away the most blessed! And as a side not if you're interested in sewing yourself she offers classes. read more

Alla is amazing and so talented. We initially met over a pair of jeans she hemmed and it led to some work for my son's wedding. All done with great skill, professionalism, and great joy. She has now moved on to "Dining Room Fashions" and more. She recently made 10 custom dining room chair pads, place mats, and as a bonus, a table runner. I just picked them up last night and they are everything I had hoped and more. They are beautiful, and top quality, down to the last detail: piping, ties, and zippers for the chair pads. She used an old place mat I had, and re-created the design perfectly-10 beautiful, reversible place mats, and as a "gift" even made a coordinating table runner. She told me that with the "bumble bee and sunflower" print for the place mats, she felt her heart singing with joy as she made the place mats. That is joy in what one does, and it shows in everything she does. Thank you Alla, for your joyful heart to do what you do with such love and graciousness! Belinda K. read more

I honestly thought my dress was unfixable. I bought a $125 bridesmaids dress that was too small for me and the company wouldn't let me return it... when all hope was list I found Alla and she was amazing! I went to her house, tried the dress on and within 10 minutes I was out of the door. She was super confident in fixing it when I was not! When I picked it up, it took me 5 minutes. The dress fit PERFECTLY and Alla kept complimenting me too. VERY sweet lady, she made it seem like I knew her forever! I've never had anything altered before but I think the pricing was pretty reasonable too! read more

Alla is absolutely a blessing to work with! I came to her on the recommendation of family friends and it has earned her a lifetime customer. Alla was nothing but kind to me even though we were working on a crunched timeline. She never made me feel like a nuisance and always seemed to have the answer. I will forever recommend her to all of my friends and I feel honored to have worked with her. Amazing prices, too! read more

Impressive alterations for reasonable prices! Alla is very meticulous and delivers quality every time. I take all my suits to get fitted/altered by her now, knowing she will carefully craft the changes I need in a reasonable time frame. read more

Mon appt at 1 and done by 230?!!! Yup, thats what you can have at Allas!! Awesome customer service & quality of work!!! Prices are also superb unlike other places Ive been to with the rush delivery of work but not quality!! I cannot rave enough about this find all thanks to other Yelp reviewers!! read more

Absolutely amazing! I've never met this amazing woman before in my life but I needed a coat taken in quickly before my 30th birthday and she was able to do it in a day last minute for me! I wouldn't suggest for people to put her in this situation, as most alterations take more time to do than a 24hour turn around but she was so unbelievably amazing to help me out in a pinch! Furthermore, with recognition of my birthday she got me a sweet card when I went to pick up my coat! Truly an angel and such a refreshing reminder that amazing people like Alla exists in this world! Although I probably pass 20+ alteration establishments on my way to her house, I will never go anywhere else. Her work is amazing and prices reasonable! Thank you so much Alla for making my birthday so special! read more

Alla's Alterations - Sewing & Alterations Near Me

Alla is amazing! I waited a bit too long to get my bridesmaid dress altered, but she was so quick, it didn't matter! In addition to being quick, she's also very thorough. The hem and strap needed to be shortened on my dress, and they both turned out great! Alla is also very, very nice and personable! Her sewing room is set up well with a changing curtain, and she's happy to help you zip, snap, etc the dress. This bridesmaid dress was particularly difficult to get into (and out of), so it was great to have help. Her prices are also very reasonable, especially considering how great everything turns out! read more

Alla is a dream to work with and a lovely woman, to boot! Her alterations are as good as it gets. My planner sent me and my dress Alla's way, and though she's based way, way outside of my neighborhood, my dress couldn't have been in better hands than hers. Alla runs her business out of a dedicated room in her house, and I felt right at home as soon as I walked in the door, and excited when I saw the dozens of photos and happy letters she'd collected. She understood exactly what I wanted as I explained it and took pains to write down everything and make sketches to clarify. I came in with a zip-back dress with a good 3 feet of train and decorated with pokey, uncomfortable beads. Alla switched the zip back for a corset, shortened the train, took in the bust, and spent all winter replacing the pokey beads with patterns of smaller beads that we designed and placed together. It came together so wonderfully. I never really imagined a "dress of my dreams," but with Alla's work, I couldn't have pictured anything more perfect. Trust her with your ivories and whites, your satins and taffetas; this woman's an expert! read more

I'm not a 5 star type of person and this is one of those situations where I'd give more stars if it would let me. I found Alla on Yelp and I'm so grateful! I ordered a dress online and it took them longer to get it to me than I planned. It fit 99% perfectly, except in the hemline and with my unnatural ability to trip on anything, I needed the hemline raised. Alla was able to get me in the same night I called her and got the dress back to me in 48-hours. It looks amazing! Her work is flawless. She is so nice and absolutely knows what she is doing. I love the fact that she's not in a huge store front and runs this out of a dedicated space in her home, it's so comfortable and not hurried feeling. I want to go buy something else that doesn't fit so that I can work with her again. Thank you so much! read more

Alla is amazing! Overcoats, suit jackets, dresses, pants, dress shirts, t-shirts - anything you need, she can do! She is also super sweet and prides herself in her work. She used to be an engineer back in her home country, so you know you can count on her measurements to be precise. Her quality of work is impeccable and even her speed. You let her know when you need your alterations completed by, and she will take care of it! Be sure to bring cash, though! read more

Alla is such a sweet, wholesome person! She is a talented seamstress. She does a really great job, while still working fast and diligently. She's by far my favorite, so she's got my business from now on! read more

Alla is always so helpful and does a great job. She loves what she does. She's quick and pleasant to work with! Highly recommend.

Alla is truly the best! I needed custom alterations on my wedding dress last July for my wedding in October and was worried about finding the right person for the job. I made an appointment and arrived with the dress and she quickly alleviated my worries. Upon arriving at her house, we immediately noticed how clean and tidy she keeps her work area. She understood exactly what needed to be done despite having such intricate details and delicate lace. I had to get the straps taken in, remove layers, hem the dress, add a bustle, etc but it didn't seem to faze her one bit! I felt like we were in good hands. We scheduled a few times each month for me to come in and she broke down exactly what would be done by the next session. She is an incredibly kind woman and my mom and I enjoyed coming to the sessions for my fittings. I had the final fitting three weeks before my wedding and everything exceeded my expectations! I was beyond pleased with the final product- she truly made the dress fit like a glove. read more

Alla is a lifesaver! She's always there for all my alteration needs even at a short notice. Because her work is so impeccable, I trusted her with making custom cushions and pillows for me. And they turned out exactly how I wanted! If you want custom cushions or pillows, take it to Alla! She'll get it done perfectly and it'll be cheaper than what you'll pay at the stores. Thank you, Alla! read more

Alla does all my family's alterations. Extremely kind and she is super fast. She has always accommodated me, and has the amazing ability to fix the most intricate fabric patterns that are torn (like my favorite long sleeve shirt that tore on a nail in a wall!). You can trust her with any alterations situation you have. read more

Alla is so nice and very professional! She did a fantastic job hemming my dress pants and I will definitely go back next time I need alterations! read more

I was hooked up with Alla for my wedding dress alterations. This was the most nerve-wracking part of getting married for me: Someone was going to be cutting up my really expensive, beautiful wedding dress and I was petrified of handing it over to the wrong person. I lucked out though because Alla is absolutely amazing. Not only is she incredibly talented, getting my dress to fit me like a glove in only two fittings, and a great perfectionist (there's not a crooked seam or a hanging thread to be found!), but she is a fantastic person. I felt like I was hanging out with my mom every time I went for a fitting. Her prices are also unbelieveably reasonable. I was planning to spend about three times more than what it cost, based on guesses from the bridal shop. Though she's a bit out of the way, I plan to bring all of my tailoring to Alla from here on out. If you're getting married and need a seamstress for your dress, call Alla. I promise, you will not be disappointed! read more

Alla is a lifesaver and genuinely honest business woman. She works with you like family in her beautiful sewing room with built in private changing area. We ordered a custom fitted prom dress, that didn't fit and she saved the day with her on point alterations and detailed beading. If you ever need an alteration, I highly recommend Alla. She didn't want us to pay for alterations vs. finding another dress, but when a girl has her mind set on a dress, that is what you go with. We had things corrected in no time with a perfect fit. Please share this reference with all your friends! read more

Alla's Alterations - Sewing & Alterations Near Me

I was referred to Alla by a friend after having an awful experience with another bridal store and alterations company. I was basically left stranded a little over a month before my wedding, out $330 on alterations that were never done by a company who told me they had no money to give me a refund. Needless to say I was freaking out and really nervous to hand my dress and MORE money over to another stranger. I cant say enough good things about this woman. Alla got me in within a few days and I immediately trusted her. She took the time to make sure she understood what my needs were and pinned my dress with patience and incredible accuracy. I've now been back to her for a few fittings and could not be happier with my dress! It is better than I ever imagined and I feel so lucky to have found her. On top of being seriously talented, she was horrified with my story and cut me a break to help me out after giving me a huge, warm hug. Alla is amazing and I would send my best friend to her with complete confidence! Highly recommend. read more
