Hole Lotta Love - Jeans original hemming Amazing job, I wanted to go to hole lotta love because of the amazing reviews and she did not disappoint! - Sewing & Alterations Near Me

Catalina did an amazing job repairing a hole in my new hoodie, it practically looks new and you can't even tell something happened to it. I went to a Dom Dolla concert and bought one of his merch items and came home to a big hole where the seam was ripped under the armpit. Super surprised about this, I reached out to Hole Lotta Love for pricing and next steps, so I dropped it off at her house and waited 2-3 days to pick it up. Pricing was decent at $22 and now my sweatshirt looks brand new. Super happy about this and will definitely reach out if I need any other alterations. I also don't have any pictures for this unfortunately! read more

High quality work on all my pants and jeans that have needed alterations. Good customer experience, timely, and responsive. Trusted with my most prized pants. read more

I had a previous tailor that closed down their shop a while ago. Finding a new tailor I can trust has been a mission. Especially when I need alterations or repairs done for expensive and rare articles of clothing. Catalina has done an incredible job with the items I needed to alter and repair. From basic tasks such as altering the length of pants to complicated tasks such as removing a zipper from a jacket, she was able to do it very well. I would say that I have found my new tailor that I can trust for my needs. I definitely recommend Catalina to everyone. read more

Getting a pair of pants hemmed sounds like the simplest thing, but if you've ever had a seamstress do a bad job (I have!) you know it takes skill to make designer brand corduroy look just like the original hem, only shorter. Catalina was awesome and made the whole process efficient and pleasant, from the time estimate to the quoted price to the quality and perfect length. I will definitely use and recommend her for any alterations! read more

Catalina is THE BEST when it comes to alterations. Hole Lotta Love is the only place I trust with altering any of my vintage pieces. She's honest, the work is always top tier, and her communication during the process makes everything so easy. Would 10/10 recommend Hole Lotta Love for any clothing alterations you need! read more

Super pleased with Catalina's work! This was my first time going to her and I had asked for a basic hem on a pair of jeans. She responded quickly to my Yelp request and was able to put me on her schedule soon after. I appreciate the transparency on price, form of payment, and when I could expect it to be completed. read more

I had 5 pairs of pants that I wanted shortened; all of them different material and styles. Cat delivered just what I wanted with beautiful workmanship. She is clearly a master of her craft and I highly recommend her. I am thrilled to have found her! read more

Cat was very professional and responded quickly. Reasonably priced as well. She cropped this jacket I thrifted, which made it a much better length for my proportions. read more

CAT IS QUEEN! I took 5 pairs of jeans and 3 pairs of pants to be hemmed by Cat and she is amazing! She took her time and listened to me describe each pair and how I wanted the hem to sit. She finished everything in a week. HIGH QUALITY WORK at reasonable prices. She is very communicative, easy to message with and freaking cool. I will be back for more alterations and hemming! read more

I was searching for someone to alter a pair of jeans I'd purchased that were a bit too long, but wanted to ensure I kept the factory hem since I liked the way it looked. That's how I found Hole Lotta Love and was very happy with the service and results I received from Catalina. She has history and knowledge with denim specifically so that factored into my decision in the first place. I would happily recommend her to anyone. read more

Catalina is amazing. She is an artist, a master of her craft and a true professional. I brought 5 pair of Levi's to her for waist tapers/repairs and they turned out so good, beautifully done. I was so impressed! The price was fair for the quality of work and they were finished in a reasonable time frame. Communication with her is easy and she always replied in a timely manner. Would absolutely recommend her, call her first! Thank you so much Catalina! read more

Fantastic work. Listened to all my annoying questions. Finished the job early. Items turned out exactly as I expected and the quality of the work looks factory. read more

Communication needs to be improved. I reached out for a quote to get a dress tailored. She responded fairly quickly and asked for a photo. I sent a photo and never heard back. It has been almost two weeks. read more

I had purchased a couple of pairs of jeans that were a little bit bigger in the waist. I am happy I found Catalina, she did a great job on my jeans. I knew when I brought them in to her they were I good hands. read more

My wife brought some jeans to Catalina a while ago to get a brand new zipper placed on, and she did a wonderful job, so I decided to bring a few pairs of old athletic drawstring pants that would fall off my waist whenever I wore them because the fabric around the drawstrings was ripped due to years of tying the pants. Catalina made them like brand new again and completely renewed the material to the original condition it was in when I first purchased them! I can't recommend her enough! read more

Cat helped me with a bridesmaid dress that had some droopy straps. I asked her about hemming the length all around and really appreciated how she honestly recommended against it for cost purposes as I would only be wearing the dress once. She is ethical and trustworthy! The straps were perfect and my dress stood up well all night. The price was reasonable considering I needed it done quickly (within 2 weeks). She is personable, reliable and does great work. I have more items that I'm super excited to bring to her! read more

I used to go to a denim tailor in the San Fernando valley but now that I live closer to Long Beach, I don't look forward to the trek. I'm so grateful for Catalina and her talent. Great work and care on my items. Thank you!! read more

Kat was amazing. She sewed my patches on my Dodger Jersey. I loved how it came out. I will definitely go back and have her add my new patches when I visit new Baseball stadiums. Great price and beautiful work. read more

*** Edited to add the "harassing messages" mentioned in the owner's response. Happy to share the full conversations. *** Edited again to just add our full conversations (one screenshot is cropped to remove her address). Catalina shared ONE time slot with me, which I wasn't going to be available for, sure, but we agreed on two other times that she bailed on. I'm sure the tailoring services are great, but is it normal to repeatedly reschedule at the last minute? I get being busy but I'm busy too and I didn't waste Catalina's time, especially without at least an apology, and I never was uncommunicative or ghosted her. I'm just confused why respecting each other's time doesn't extend both ways. Totally fine to be too busy to take on another project, but extremely disappointing and unprofessional to agree on a time to meet, then callously reply that you're not available anymore when I'm already on my way and you hadn't communicated the change with me beforehand. read more

Catalina did a perfect repair on my 40's Mackinaw coat. Easy and pleasant to deal with too. Thanks Cat!

Cat did an amazing job on my Brave Star Selvage jeans, which is not easy as they are 21.5oz denim! I had holes that I must have got from a bench on a trip as they were perfect before we left. I had Cat fix the butt but jot the pockets as I'm OK with a little wear there. Here is one pic of one side. Both were the same and now they look almost new. I will for sure be utilizing Cat for more work. Denim is a pain in the *ss and a lot of fun. Having a capable person who can fix/adjust is awesome! read more

Cat is very talented; I've been nothing but extremely satisfied with all of her alterations. I trust her with special clothes. And she is kind, a pleasure to work with. Can't say enough good things - highly recommend! read more

Incredible customer service!! She communicated with me throughout the entire process and made sure I got exactly what I wanted. Absolutely will be coming back for more projects. read more

Catalina was amazing to work with from start to end! I had 5 pairs of pants I bought secondhand that I wanted hem before a big trip. She was able to take them in next day and get them back to me within 4 days. She was extremely communicative and a pleasure to talk to! I got my pants back and if it weren't for the fact they no longer drag on the ground, I would have never been able to tell they were altered. She's the real deal! My go-to tailor from here on out. read more

I got the waistline altered for one of my nice suit pants, since they have always been a bit too tight on me. After the alteration it's a perfect fit and they are sooo comfortable now! Thank you so much I'll definitely come back for future alterations. read more

She did an amazing job altering a swimsuit for me! I'm very happy with the end result and I highly recommend! :)

Cat does insanely good work. I've taken my jeans to her for about 2 years now! Each time I have, even with the most gaping rips in my jeans, she's always been able to pull through. Fixing jeans is one thing: Fixing worn, faded jeans and making the repair look natural is a whole separate echelon. Since I've known her and her business, she's been able to save around 5 pairs of jeans with wear and tear, holes ranging to pocket tears all the way to rips spanning over 6 inches. I think she even hooked up one of my denim jackets with the sew-on patches I had for riding! Her workshop is quaint, you can tell she has a passion for restoration, and she's been super forgiving when it comes to rescheduling (my bad Cat lol- Won't happen again!). She accommodated my crazy work schedule for drop off and pick up in person. Huge for someone who has lots going on. Cat's business is the epitome of a great small business in LB to support. It felt great to see other customers walking away from her shop smiling and happy with her service- I could definitely resonate. Thanks Catalina! read more

Highly recommend her. She did an amazing alteration on two pairs of workwear, that did not fit me. The level of craftsmanship is top tier!

Edit: Did not receive full refund & dress was still not up to par but decided to stop going back bc of the work Awful awful awful. I received the bridesmaid dress from hell. Sewed the arm holes too small & wasn't able to wear the dress at it's desired spot on my shoulder. Bust was pulling. Didn't/ couldn't even wear the dress to the wedding that was a few weeks later.
