    Airpin sown
    Sara L.

    Y'all will think that I'm lying, but I literally called this lady at 16:30 to sew on my airpin. I got there at 16:34 and she was done nine minutes later. I left at 16:50. Happy, in awe and extremely satisfied because I paid $5. I tried to pay more and tip her, she said no. I will be back, but next time I'm bringing cash so I can give her more for her work and flexibility.

    Sooo I needed an outfit I bought to be fixed. I did not take a before picture because I hardly do reviews so I'm not that good at this so sorry about that ! Anyways, I was recommended here by a close friend of mine and let me tell you, the people that work here are SUPER NICE !!! They were very helpful and knowledgeable about how I wanted my outfit ! Also a lot of patience ! When I picked it up and tried it on, it fit PERFECT ! Also I got a lot of compliments on my outfit. Lol If you are looking for a place to fix up your clothes, THIS IS IT ! I really recommend this place and hope if your reading this, you take my word for it.

    All four pockets had holes big enough for my wallet and phone to fall through instantly!

    Took one of my favorite pair of pants to a bunch of different places before finding Emies. The other places had told me the pockets were beyond repair and there was nothing that could be done to fix them. I almost lost hope but these pants have been with me for so long that I really wanted to get them fixed. Emies did great work on all 4 pockets that were ripped (don't ask me how lol) and a broken zipper for a fair price. Definitely a ma and pop shop that works hard during these tough times and I'm thankful for their service!

    Bad dog!

    Another review from me- this time Holly fixed a knitted vest that my dog had chewed. I found yarn to match and she did the repair beautifully! She is so talented!!!

    Love the slit she was able to put in!! Excellent work. Competitive prices. Highly recommend!

    The liner close to the arm hole ripped and now it's fixed, no loss of movement and everything looks very good and fits well. Cheap fix to my expensive leather jacket. Loving it!

    See all

    Her work is amazing! She did things other places said they couldn't for, less than half the price. Everything is so seamless.

    Also, they saved my favorite fishing jacket and sewed on a new zipper at the same time.

    Quick, high quality tailoring! If you need to try on the item for hemming, I recommend calling in…read moreadvance or coming earlier in the day to confirm that the alterations specialist is available. My pants and ballgown were hemmed perfectly within 5 days. A great spot with friendly staff.

    These ladies are great at what they do. However, the…read morecustomer service and shop environment leaves much to be desired. Staff is not equipped to manage random walk-ins, which every customer is. I went Friday and it was maybe 80 degrees in this little shop, front door closed and fan ineffective, weak, and pointing where no one was near. I was told to put on items for tailoring, while a lovely young lady customer stood on the pedestal getting pinned before I arrived and the 30 min I was there. A young staffer told me to change so she could pin adjustments, despite no room as other person was on the pinning pedestal.. I went into the curtained cubby, stifled by the shop's suffocating 80 degrees, and put on the first item for alterations. While in the tiny changing room, three customers came in with bags of clothes to be tailored. Same staff person who told me to get in dressing room and put on item to be tailored had to, no fault of her own, address the three customers that just walked in. I was sweating and understanding I would not be attended to for at least 20 min while the staff person addressed the 3 customers who came in after I was in dressing room. Sweating and very uncomfortable, I left after 30 min. The oppressive heat in the closed-up shop and the lack of adequate staff was more than enough to lead me to look elsewhere. Sew Elegant is great at tailoring, I have taken many items over the years with satisfaction. But the lack of staff and the stifling heat has led me to find alternative tailors. That was my experience Fri 10/03/25. They're not the only game in town. Also expensive and they charge extra for any payment no cash.

Coming off the 52, once you see Margaret's Cleaners, theres a parking lot right after between them and Wesco. Parking was plentiful. Masks are optional for the vaccinated. Brittany welcomed me into the place and we discussed options for what I wanted to do. In the end I decided to clean, press and preserve my dress. They also have an appointment where you can see them put it in the box. Plus they include before and after pictures. I did not end up going to do an appointment and just did the pick up and grab the paper work instead. I was glad my dress got preserved but did think it was pretty pricey to get things cleaned. I got a qipao from Chinatown LA, and I don't recall what the price was but ended up paying more to clean it than its original price. My usual dry cleaner spot didn't wash those and had directed me here. I haven't had any reason to return back, but thought my experience wasn't too bad. Just a tad pricier than expected. FYI this was a review that I started writing back in 2021 but neglected to finish on details. Glad I could finally finish it in 2025.
