Sew What - This 100% silk top was once a long, flowing dress. I assumed the fire destroyed it. But now it's a gorgeous, tailored-for-curves top.

Sew What

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.

Carole Kenney Design - Let's talk about the side slit! Underneath layers of different lace to give it the most unique look.

Carole came highly recommended for wedding dress alterations. I decided to go with her, as she has…read morea reputation for being the best..and she did not disappoint. She did an EXCELLENT job, in a very short amount of time. Not only is she incredibly talented, she is wonderful to work with! I enjoyed the experience and I LOVE my dress! The high quality work and attention to detail is truly remarkable. During our initial phone call, she took the time to answer all of my questions and didn't rush me. She didn't pressure me to go with her, made me feel comfortable and said she would be able to fit me in just in time for my wedding. My first fitting was such a positive experience! She is incredibly bright and insanely talented. She is friendly and personable. When I went to the second fitting to pick up my dress, I was truly stunned. I have never used the word "snatched" before, but she made me look "snatched". I never wanted to take my gown off. She transformed it into a work of art. My mom needed help when steaming my dress on the day of my wedding, and I didn't know what to do. I gave her my phone and had her call Carole. Carole was so kind and helpful and went above and beyond. I am so grateful for Carole! TLDR: Carole is absolutely AMAZING and will make you look and feel BEAUTIFUL on your wedding day. You will not be disappointed

Carole did an amazing job at putting a lot of love and care into fitting my mother's dress to my…read morewedding day. She worked with my budget and listened to what I wanted and made something I didn't even know what was possible happen. Her studio is very clean and gorgeous. She guided me on how to travel to Mexico with my dress and gave me the confidence to do so. I am so over the moon that I was able to wear my mom's dress for my mom and the rest of my family in Mexico. My mother could not be in the states for my civil ceremony, but with her dress she was as close to my heart as possible. Thank you again Carole.
