This family-owned mom and pop shop is in Mequon, conveniently located pretty close to me so I thought I would give them a try. It's quite small and tucked into the strip mall area just off of Mequon and Port. Nothing fancy inside, but you can tell they work on tons of projects with all the orders seen in back, and the surplus of sewing machines & colorful thread.
I'd ordered some new curtains online that were a few inches too long, so I brought them into Mom's Alterations. I was excited to see on the sign that they do next-day (or quick turn around) alterations for smaller projects. In my case, I needed roughly two inches taken off eight small loops. When I arrived they let me know it would be a week before pick up - I was kind of bummed but thought, I'll take what I can get! However I was then super bummed when I arrived at 3pm on the following Thursday (as they scheduled me to) and they hadn't even begun the project. They didn't offer any apologetic notion, but assured me they'd be able to get it done asap after that so I returned again the next day for pick up.
I found the price to be higher than expected, having paid $65+ for this small project. It was also very unfortunate that the curtains were altered slightly uneven. When they hang next to each other they are noticeably lopsided. I don't think I'll jump to return here for my next alter-needs. read more
