    Excellent quality work, pretty quick turnaround, and the price was reasonable. Very pleased with the entire experience.

    The quality of stitching is amazing for the right price, and Chris is wonderful to communicate with.

    Nice!!!!! What a great place, I came in with a very small…read morejob (street banner) not knowing if they would do the job, the nice lady said absolutely! she gave me a pickup date and called me with a early pickup. This was quicker than ordering a new one on Amazon and a lot less $$$$$ and looks like new! Thanks Buttons!

    A local store in an upscale boutique in Old town Eureka…read more As soon as I walked in I admired the fresh and decluttered store. It felt clean and bright atmosphere. I saw a doggy in a corner on the shop laying in its bed. I had my mask on but I noticed the person at the front desk had a smile on her face. I asked if it was possible to make my meaningful dresses into a romper. The lady in the front desk just laughed and said it should be around 50-70$. I couldn't tell if she was being sarcastic or serious. So I asked "Are you laughing b/c it appears complicated or is it something else?" I had her explain why it would not work instead of being left in the dark. The person proceeds to say she would not be able to do it because she would have to take fabric apart and put it together. I told her I appreciated her honesty but also kinda bummed she could she did recommend me to others who might be able to do it. I appreciate her honesty but her intentions appeared to judge that I would not be able to pay the amount only b/c she had to take it apart so I decided to move on and look elsewhere. I wouldn't have mind paying the amount but I felt judge that it was a ridiculous idea to make it into a romper, this was seen in her laughter and with the price being the next thing she mentioned. I did appreciate her honesty because she didn't just shush me away but recommend I look for others who would be more experience in that area. Thanks :-) I have yet to have her alter any form of clothing to truly give my overall experience therefore my stars might increase :-)

    Don't take anything to her that you care about…read more After looking at other reviews on here, I've figured out the business probably sold between the time of service a friend had here and when she recommended it to me. She had great service, and was super excited to recommend the business, but didn't recognize the name of the owner (Lindsay) when I was talking to her about it. I took my wedding dress to Lindsay last year and thought it would be super simple. I showed up to my first appointment and she just went to work pinning things without asking me what I wanted done. I'm not a seamstress so I didn't feel qualified to butt-in, but at the same time, it's my dress and I should have given my thoughts on how I wanted it to look. She said everything she was doing would be super quick and easy, and kept dismissing my concerns. I was worried since she wouldn't even give me a ballpark quote or idea of what these things would cost. She would get really defensive whenever I would ask, and just say that quality work costs money. I don't like conflict so I would just let it go, but I really didn't have room in my budget for her attitude. I thought I just needed a bustle and everything else fit fine. I didn't have a large budget and I wanted the dress to be reusable for my kids, so I really didn't want to make it super fitted to me. She had some kind of breakdown and went off on me during a fitting. I kept trying to say that I liked the work she had done and was just wondering what it would cost, and she just kept going on and on like I wasn't there or even talking. It was incredibly uncomfortable and I just felt like walking out of there in the dress. Over a hundred dollars later I had to pick up the dress because I just wasn't comfortable with her having it anymore. I know that there's always the chance a young bride is being overdramatic, but I couldn't get over how weird Lindsay was and the icky feeling I had about her having my dress. I had to spend over $300 paying another seamstress to fix what Lindsay had done to my dress. She had gotten partway through the bust after having my dress for three months. It was not anywhere near fitting me and the new seamstress couldn't figure out what Lindsay was trying to do. I couldn't even tell the difference between the three appointments I had with her to know what she was charging me for after three months. I have my dress back and it finally fits me, but there's almost zero chance any of my kids will be able to wear it if they get married any older than I am. After Lindsay had done the changes she thought were needed, the new seamstress couldn't take it back to what it was when I bought it. So it had to be fitted so differently that it's really customized to my shape. I just can't get over the fact that it literally was so beautiful when I bought it and it fit me perfectly fine- if I had just advocated for myself it might have been better, but no seamstress should pressure a bride into alterations she doesn't want. I'm really disappointed and regret taking my dress there.

    Again, small towns don't need Yelp reviews, but when I saw two mixed reviews I thought I had to…read moreshow my support. First, Shauna A. has a lovely review, but she got the shop name wrong. "Fabric Temptation" is what she is referring to in her review. Second, although I greatly respect every personal experience, I can't help but disagree. I was in a fire that destroyed two truck loads of very expensive, rare and beautiful articles of clothing. Because the artist (call a name what she is) was sympathetic to my situation, she probably saved a half of one more truck load. In my picture profiles you see me jump (ocean behind me) with a pair of Hot Knot jeans. The owner of Sew What fixed a rather embarrassing burn hole. During class one afternoon a Professor asked me to go home. I walked into the lady's room to notice my underwear were clearly showing. Those jeans were new and slightly over $200. Working her magic, they are worn regularly to this day, years later. Same with clothing belonging to deceased loved ones and from ex-fiances who used their graphic art training to stamp Hot Knot T-shirts. I quite literally cried at some of the clothing the owner or her workers salvaged. The fire was emotionally devastating to me, and people were asking for money to be greedy and profit off of my tragedy. My family considers it trashy to sue, so I remained broke and slowly struggling...added salvaged items, one by one to my growing wardrobe. Currently a orange printed silk dress that was cut into a shirt is being repaired. You get what you pay for. I save the tags because the owner's penmanship is a work of art in itself. I have become so enthralled with the work being done at Sew What, I may take up sewing classes myself. Something good always comes out of the ashes (literally.) I only wish my one week old $1,000 silk bed set could have been salvaged. Years after the fire, I still have plenty of clothes that are getting a makeover. For that I am grateful. Very grateful for everything I have in my life: material and otherwise Finally, my reviews are not mostly negative or bipolar reviews. And I don't praise what is "cool" and make passive aggressive stabs at people who don't see my photo or name. I am accountable for my actions/reviews. I am mature enough to know that owning a business is very difficult. It is unconscionable to trash a business because you have poor communication skills. If you are unhappy with her work, why go back over and over again? That's plain stupidity. And "trying" to be "nice" in a review where you repeat the same problems and immediately trash her store is not cute, nor funny. My final thought is that I don't act passive aggressively and write the lowest star review possible rather then talk to the owner. I would just as soon not write one, because a shop like Sew What is dependent on people to trust them. I have been going there for years and nothing has been "murdered" (such a imaginative phrase.) That review could have been boiled down into three sentences. Thank you.

    I'm completely useless when it's comes to sewing, hemming pants; anything like that. So I take my…read morestuff here. The woman who owns it is really nice and helpful. It's a bit expensive I think, but it's worth it for me not to have to sit down and miserably fail at properly fixing a zipper or sewing a button on again.
