    Gorgeous bolsters for my window seat!
    LovelyParrot T.

    Ella is great. She's efficient and works with you to solve difficult problems. She managed to get 3 bolsters out of a complex pattern where I hadn't bought enough material. They are wonderful. Note the ends!

    Ella is a pro, attentive, and very detailed. I wanted to refresh a navy blue polyester Herman Miller sofa that had removable cushion covers. She recommended that we check out discount fabrics and we found the perfect grey felted wool. We delivered the cushions and fabric to her home and she finished the covers in 7 days!!! The new covers fit like a glove and the zippers are nearly invisible. I'm very happy with the product and services provided.

    I looked at different seamstresses on yelp and no one wanted to help me out with my project. Ella, took the time and gave me a great quote with great communication and a positive attitude which is something great to look for as a seamstress. She took care of the project with great enthusiasm and I hired her and put my trust into her as she took my items and she said it will only take 2-3 days for completion which is a great turnaround! I highly recommended Ella, she will not let you down and I will return again for future services. Give her a chance!

    Shortened strap

    If you need your bridesmaid's dress altered, this is the place to go! Ella is an absolute treasure! I called on a Sunday afternoon to see if she could alter a bridesmaid dress, she told me to come in the next day. I tried on my dress, then she pinned it in a few places and told to me come back in ten days. She texted me to let me know it was ready, and when I tried it on, the fit was perfect! She ended up taking the zipper off of the bodice of my dress, taking in the bodice, and shortening the straps. Price was fair and she did a superb job. I'll definitely be back if I need anything else altered.

    Van cushion

    Ella made a custom bunch cushion for my van and it turned out great! She has an amazing attention detail and a quick turnaround time. I ended up having her make three cushions for my van and I just asked her to make a fourth cushion for my window seat in my house. Highly recommend!

    Ella Did an amazing job on chaise cushions. She was meticulous and on time. I highly highly recommend her and will use her again.

    I wanted to bring two old large sofas and their cushions back to life. After contacting numerous businesses on yelp, getting them re-upholstered was proving to be an expensive task. Not until I met Ella. Ella's attention to detail and superb quality of her work turned my old sofas into a work of art. Ella has trained in Moscow where she learned proper classic stitching techniques. I don't know how to tell you how sharp-looking my sofas are and how happy it makes me to see the beaten-up, faithful old sofas that got me through long hours of reading in graduate school and raising messy kids looking so dapper and ready to start a new life. Maybe you can tell how pleased I am based on my photos, then?

    Ella refreshed our sleeper sofa by pulling apart the existing covers and restitching them so interior became the exterior. She is amazing!
    Dan W.

    Ella is amazing! She helped refresh our 12-year old sleeper sofa by pulling apart the existing faded covers and strategically restitching them so the interior side of the fabric became the exterior. She was able to reuse all of the existing fabric, piping, and zippers. This significantly minimized our expected costs for the fabric recovery or a replacement. The results of her work in addition to her responsiveness and attention to detail exceeded all expectations. Our sleeper sofa now looks brand new!

    Mid-century modern couch was completely destroyed before I found Ella. Now it's back to being beautiful (and comfy)!
    Ashleigh N.

    Ella is amazing! Very responsive, great price, and beautiful work! I couldn't be happier. I asked around for other quotes and they were all at least double Ella's. I was able to use her fabric, which saved me quite a bit of money (dollars per yard instead of $45/yard+ for upholstery fabric at a fabric store). My cushions were tricky--two triangular bolsters and one extra long seat cushion--(I tried recovering them myself in the past, oh boy, that was a nightmare) but she did a wonderful job. Work was done quickly. Highly recommend! I will be back for other projects!

    Altered Dress
    Sabrina B.

    I had to get a dress altered last minute for a formal and Ella responded very quickly. She altered the dress very quickly and did an absolutely fantastic job. The price of the alterations was also very reasonable. I will definitely come back the next time I need an alteration!

    Ottoman by Lisa

    EllaLiza is the best! I ask for the impossible and she delivers with care and precision! We've collaborated on a Mongolian sheep fur ottoman that most would say is impossible, but it turned out so spectacular that people wanted to buy it off her! I've had fabrics repurposed as pillows and the usual pant hemming and such, she's my go to tailor for everything!

    A fold out bed with two pillows for our RV. fantastic job nice and tight with shipping going on three sides for easy pad installation

    I worked with several seamstresses before finding Ella and she is, by far, the most reasonable and reliable.

    I'm in town for a job interview and realized my pants are missing a button. I walked in asking if…read morethey had any extra buttons so I could sew one on, and the kindest, welcoming young woman helped me. She didn't charge me for the button. I was taken aback by her continued kindness. There are plenty of kind people out there, thank you for being one of them. I will definitely be checking them out for my future alteration and dry cleaning.

    This was my first time ever having something dry cleaned. I called and spoke with Jay about a…read moretuxedo jacket I needed dry cleaned. I let him know I had worn it for the first time on 5/26/25 for a wedding, about five hours straight. There was no damage or visible stains, but the inside of the jacket, specifically the armpit area, had a little deodorant/sweat odor from wearing it for hours. Jay reassured me they could take care of it. I had originally gone to another place first, I walked into SF Green Clean, which said they couldn't remove armpit sweat odor with dry cleaning. (To be fair, the woman I spoke with there was very sweet, so no complaints on her customer service.) That's how I ended up at Sonia's Dry Cleaners. Jay told me they'd be able to handle it, and if I wasn't satisfied after the first attempt, they'd clean it again at no extra charge. He mentioned if needed there were other chemicals they could use to get a smell out if needed/depending on the material of the jacket and that prices would vary if needed, but he looked at it and quoted me when I dropped it off for $25. I dropped it off on 5/28/25 with no rush order. When I picked it up on 6/9/25 and checked it, the odor was still present. I went back inside and spoke with Mary at the front--she was VERY kind. I pointed out the specific area I was hoping they could focus on, and she told me it would be ready by 6/12/25 and that they'd call or text me when it was done. On pickup day, I called ahead and spoke with Jay again. He was EXTREMELY kind and made it clear they truly wanted to earn my business. He even said they'd be willing to clean it a third or fourth time if necessary. That level of care and professionalism really stood out. I expected I might have to ask for a refund or run into a problem, but instead, the whole interaction was handled smoothly and respectfully. When I picked up the jacket, the smell in the armpit area was completely gone. It looked and smelled brand new, bagged and ready for the next event. It was in a clear bagged packaging and had a metal copper hanger (the copper hanger was encased in a wrapped paper like material but seeing the metal iron worried me because I've had old copper hangers rust/leave the copper residue on materials, thankfully this one didn't, but I also assume since it's wrapped that it's not meant to be hanging on it long term, but just an observation for someone who might worry like I do) I was originally leaning toward a 3-star rating because I had to return for a second cleaning and didn't receive the call/text updates I was told to expect (Mary did mention their system may have been down). But their exceptional customer service, especially the way Jay and Mary handled everything completely won me over. That extra effort earned the business 4 stars. (The dock was having to come back in due to it looking/smelling the same which was mentioned my main concern, and them not contacting me when they said it'd be ready both times) I don't know the price of more dry cleaning items but thankfully I don't do dry cleaning so often. I'll definitely be back and will update my review after my next visit. Thank you!
