Needed a zipper replaced on my jacket. They were able to fix it within a week and even though I forgot to pick It up for about 3 weeks they were nice and professional about it. I would recommend for minor sewing and replacement jobs. read more

Olga is a very nice person and works very hard. She's always been nothing but welcoming and pleasant to work with. However I am so so disappointed in the work Olga did on my bridesmaids dress. This was my second time working with her and the first time she did a great job adding a corset to the back of my dress to fit my pregnant belly, though it did run me about $250, which hurt. This time going to Olga though, it cost the same amount, $250, and she hemmed the dress and added cups. She did not take the dress in on the sides like we discussed so the dress does not fit at all. When I tried it on at the store, I asked what could be done about the fit of the dress and she said "nothing, it's just the dress." I'm not the expert, she is. So I didn't say anything. However, the bridesmaids dress I have is nothing special and there is zero reason it couldn't be taken in to actually fit me. Especially for $250. Not only that, but the cups were sewn in so wonky that the fabric is all bunched and pulled across the chest. I had to cut them out. And to top it off, she did not hem it short enough. Now I'm left scrambling days before this wedding trying to jury-rig this dress to make it fit and look presentable. I don't know what to do. I'm no seamstress, so it looks pretty awful. So overall, I spent $250 for a hem and cups that I had to cut out. read more

Olga was great. She altered my garments perfectly and in the exact time she quoted. I will be using her services again!

I needed quick turnaround for the suit I'm wearing to my daughter's wedding. Olga is friendly and her work is fantastic. So glad I was able to connect with her. She will be my (and my wife's) go to for alterations going forward. Highly recommend. read more

I know this is a bridal shop but I've been taking my softball pants to her to alter over the past few years. When I lost a ton of weight, I took several pairs to get altered and without fail, they were done to fit. I absolutely love the friendly smile, the professionalism and the on time alterations. Highly recommend My Sewing Studio! read more

Olga is very professional and is a master of her art! I've been for my first fitting for mother of the groom dress. Her advice and knowledge of her trade is outstanding. If you have something special to be made or altered, Olga must be your go-to lady! Denise Wagenaar read more

I needed simple hem for a a bridesmaid's dress (two layers) and was absolutely astounded with what this place cost - $130 for a hem! It was fine and the dress turned out fine, but nothing spectacular about this place or the work for that price. read more

My Sewing Studio - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Frederick, Maryland

I came across this place scrolling through Yelp and Google reviews. I needed to have an athletic wear jacket taken in to be more fitted. After pinning the jacket to my body to fit my specifications they said they could do it. 2 weeks later I go to pick it up, it's half completed and not as tight as I requested. A week later, I come back, and while the torso and sleeves are good, the cuffs are uneven and unchanged. This made a weird gap from the wrist to the remainder of the arm. I asked if it could be fixed but they told me "it's impossible given the original seams". So 3/5, majority was well done, but I wish that they had been more honest with me about the limits to my jacket. Now it's 80% there and I can't do anything about it on my own. read more

Olga was fantastic. I gave her a hard task to accomplish with a dress that was too tight around the bust. She gave me an open-backed dress that zippered perfectly in time for the wedding a week after!! She is fantastic. You won't find anyone better! read more

Amazing place ! Olga, the owner is fantastic. Would definitely recommend for alterations. My daughter needed her prom dress fixed. Olga suggested some changes that made the dress even more special read more

I can't recommend My Sewing Studio highly enough! Olga did a beautiful job altering my wedding dress! Olga's workmanship was very precise. The dress fit me perfectly by the end, and I felt beautiful in it. She was also very responsive to what I was looking for: she made little adjustments at the end to ensure the dress fitted me exactly as desired. Olga was very professional and responsive. After my first fitting, we discussed the schedule for alterations and approximately when each fitting would take place. Olga stuck to that schedule and the dress was finished well ahead of my wedding day. I appreciated all of my interactions with Olga. She was very kind and warm: exactly the person you would want to work with to prepare your wedding dress. She took a lot of stress out of a potentially overwhelming process. I really appreciated the COVID precautions taken by My Sewing Studio. I felt very safe. Thank you, My Sewing Studio! I look forward to bringing other dresses to you in the future. read more

I just had a holiday sheath dress hemmed here, and the dress length looks great. I am, however, in a bit of a state of sticker shock at the price. My dress is polyester with a liner (so two layers) and was turned around in 6 days -- purely a hem shortening, no other alterations made, and the cost was $90. I've never paid so much for a simple hem, even when I lived in Tyson's Corner. The quality is excellent, I just can't believe the cost. read more

Olga was amazing. The work on my Navy Dinner Dress Uniform was phenomenal and reasonably priced. I was leery at first, because when I dropped it off she looked at the uniform and put in all the pins in about 20-30 seconds and said "OK, when do you need it by?". I did not think there was any way she could make fit exactly how I wanted/needed with only 20 seconds of me wearing it, but I was wrong. I went back a week later and it was like the thing was made for my body. read more

I was very impressed with the professionalism, quality of work, and turn around time. It was a it one the expensive side, but well worth it in my opinion for the quality and how fast I got my dress back. Everything was done in under a week including a reschedule due to a snow storm. read more

I needed to get a bridesmaids dress taken in. Set my appointment, got there, got in and out in less than 10 mins, came back when it was done and again in and out, fits perfect! Definitely would recommend going here! read more

My daughter paid $400 dollars for a wedding dress alteration this summer (2018). When she went to pick it up - Olga changed the back of the dress so it was very different from the original look. My daughter was upset so Olga changed it back as close as she could get it. My daughter was upset because she wasn't asked about the change. Olga fixed it so it was back close to the original. I'll give her credit for that - but she should have discussed changing something like the back of a wedding dress. She also added thick cups - even though the dress already had boning and a built in bra. My daughter is 23 and should have been more forceful -or I should have been involved. But then again shouldn't the seamstress do a good -or even excellent job without coaching from the clients? Meghan, my daughter told me the seamstress had offered to take up the dress in the shoulders. My daughter was so happy to have the back fairly well fixed back to the original. - and her wedding was approaching ..... so she took it home. When she first brought it home I didn't think it looked right but I wasn't sure why - and my daughter only tried it on quickly and decided she had to come back with her shoes to really decide if it was okay. The second time she tried it on- with NEW higher shoes because the dress was too long after the alteration - was only 3 weeks until the wedding. She walked around at length and we decided it did not look good. She could have returned to the shop to have Olga try again, but I said taking up the shoulders didn't seem like it would fix the dress. Plus the woman's had done a piss poor job the two times she already worked on it. It was too long (even with the much higher shoes my daughter bought after the "alteration")- and seemed saggy. We brought it to Sharon's Creative Sewing in Damascus. She had hemmed my dress and had some interesting WW I uniform copies she was making. She had been recommended to me by a friend and I could see she is very talented. Sharon took one look at it and said. "It's too big. And do you want those big cups in there?" She took in a good inch on each side after taking out the cups which changed my daughters figure! And she hemmed it - even with the higher shoes my daughter bought after her alteration from Olga wearing lower shoes. -And she had to take in tulle on the sides to get the wedding gown tightly enough. When my daughter asked for a refund of $ 200/400 based , Olga refused. She said my daughter should have come back to her. She said she had done what she said she would and so should keep the full amount paid. Really?!? I thought we paid $400 to get Meghan's dream wedding dressed altered so it looked nice when she wore it. Really - Take it back to the woman who SHOULD have taken the dress in an inch on each side, along with an inch or two on the bottom. And who stuck in fake cups to hide the fact it was too big? And who Meghan contracted to alter the dress - not mess up the back and fail to make it fit properly. She did a terrible job on a very expensive dress and then didn't make good by at least refunding some of the money. I see she has positive reviews, so maybe this was a fluke. BUT I would NOT trust this woman with my expensive wedding gown. Again - not sure why she did wrong by my daughter with all of the positive reviews. My profile is my daughter with her beautiful Liancarlo gown - altered beautifully by someone else who charged 1/4 of what My Sewing Studio did. Just a heads up - Sharon's Creative Sewing is not right in Damascus. It is a rural area right outside and is not pristine. There is lots of thread and dog fur around the ground. Both of our dresses were clean and perfectly altered when we got them. And my friend was also happy with her suit alterations. BUT Sharon's isn't as pretty as Olga's. I guess pretty is as pretty does. read more

I'm a couple months late in doing my review, but better late than never . I had a wedding (Hawaiian themed) at the very beginning of April. As a late shopper I had to grab the first pair of linen pants that looked good. Unfortunately I'm short and the pants I bought were a little long. Olga was able to get the pants at just the right length and even took them in a little at the leg. Will definitely be back to have her do more work! Thanks again! read more

Super quick, super reasonable, super friendly, and does a great job! Can't ask for much else. I will continue to come here for my alterations. read more

Olga did a great job. I a women and wanted to get a men's small sized tux jacket fitted to me for a trip I was going on. I, unfortunately, waited last minute to find a seamstress. Fortunately, Olga was very obliging to getting my tux jacket ready with such short notice. She is professional and nice. My jacket turned out wonderfully! Her price for the job was extremely fair. I plan to use her again if I ever need seamstress. read more

She did an amazing job with my bridesmaids dress, and she was fast! I will be back in a month for my other bridesmaids dress for a wedding in October :) read more

We picked up a rental suit for my husband on Friday night before a wedding where he was groomsmen. We were horrified to see the seam had ripped in a really obvious spot. So glad he bothered to try it on! I called MSS an hour before closing, and she promised to have it ready by 10:30 am for pictures the next day! Flying in gave us few options and we were so glad to find this wonderful spot! read more

I organized my sister's wedding last week, and the planning and everything involved in it was a very stressful experience. I'm glad I picked the right designer for the dresses and suits. At least that's one thing off my list. They did it really well. read more

Beautiful job on my daughters wedding dress. Very detailed scalloped edge lace had to be removed for hemming and seamlessly reapplied. Excellent bustling on the LONG train as well. Highly recommended read more

Olga was AMAZING. I have had her alter two of my suits now, and she did a perfect job both times. I put her under a time crunch for both of them, and she came through like a true professional. I'd give 6 stars if I could! read more

Took on my leather vest to get some patches sewn on. She did a great job and the prices were great.
