After trying to find a reputable and reasonably priced place to have a dress zipper fixed (one…read moreplace wanted $48 and I had to also pay for the zip!) I went into a dress shop and asked if they could recommend someone. Ashley & Schreder was recommended. It's actually a tailor but he also employs a dressmaker. The zip was fixed in 5 mins. No fuss and a smile. Reasonable prices and great customer service. ($10 to take up pants professionally. I dare you to beat that.) Soooo happy. I'll be back there next week with more garments I want altered. Can't recommend them highly enough.

SO helpful ! I busted a button on my business shirt and I…read morehad a client meeting in the afternoon. A quick google search found several possibles, these where the most friendly. I walked in off the street, told them my problem, in seconds the had my shirt and wisked it away to sew the button back on. I relaxed in a chair reading the paper, and within a couple of minutes was good to go. WHen I asked how much I owed them, I was told, "It's only a button, don't worry about it" Good Old Fashioned service. !!!! I'll be back.

Growing up with an unusual name, I have a few memories of people spelling Siobhan in, well,…read moreinteresting ways. The most memorable though is when I won a competition for singing and was handed an amazing trophy the size of my upper body, only to find that the engraver had misspelled my name. Utter devastation! It might as well not be me who has won the trophy! Ever since then I've been very dubious about using the services of an engraver. When it has to be done though, I walk in and a wave of panic comes over me along with the thought of "What if this person completely stuffs this up?". Unfortunately it's a risk that has to be taken. Recently I bought a beautiful quill for a friend who just finished their Law degree, and I needed to take it to be engraved. Someone suggested John Hammond to me, so I decided to give him a go. His beautiful store, located on the second level of Brisbane Arcade, calmed me down immediately. Surely someone with a whole shop dedicated to engraving is more capable than the silly head at Mr Minit who ruined my trophy (way to hold a grudge, Siobhan!). The engraving turned out beautifully and came at a reasonable price. Should I need something engraved again, I'll definitely be visiting John Hammond.

I highly recommend this business.

EmbroidMe at Milton specialises in the embroidery of uniforms and other textiles for companies and…read moregroups. They also cater to individuals who just want a one of embroidery project done, such as monogrammed towels or hats. Normally if I want something embroidered, I go to The Cap Factory at Chermside, but today I needed something done before Christmas and was over this side of town so I decided to try EmbroidMe out. The lady at the counter was very helpful and assisted me in choosing the best font, font size, and colour to be embroidered.Turn-around was quick (especially this close to Christmas) with the two towels I was getting embroidered ready only three hours after I dropped them off (The Cap Factory sometimes says to come back the next day). The downside of EmbroidMe is that because their main business is bulk projects such as uniforms, they charge a 'set-up' fee of thirty dollars to place the order etc. which obviously would be reasonable if you were getting fifty shirts done, but for two towels having to pay thirty dollars on top of the twenty per towel embroidery fee is kind of prohibitive. Because I was desperate I went ahead with the order and can't complain about any other aspect of the experience, but unless I need a big order done sometime, I will continue to go to The Cap Factory for one-off embroidery.

At this stage, now two weeks later, i have no samples, no quotes and no shirts
