I don't get things altered much. This is probably my second time ever? My first time here though and I chose it because of the name to be honest. Super cute. I came in and it's a decent sized place. I got my denim skort taken in around the waist. She told me her thoughts about taking it in because one way would've made it looked weird. She definitely knows what she was doing and I was happy how it came out. I brought it in on a Monday and she said to pick up Friday but I just told her I will pick it up the following Monday. It was $20 and I think she only takes cash FYI. read more

See all

I have had Maria alter several items for me over the years. Although English is not her first language, she is very easy to understand and communicate with. I appreciate her comments on what I want done but what she thinks will look the best. I have learned to trust her judgement. Her prices are very reasonable, and she does prefer cash to avoid the credit card fees. I highly recommend Needle Nook. read more

Maria was amazing! I bought a wedding dress two sizes two big and she was able to shorten the dress and take in the sides a few inches in just two weeks! Her prices were very fair for the type of work she did. She was the so sweet! read more

Item 1 week later than promised. Maria said she just has too much work. I'm sorry but she was just RUDE. Told me not to return. Believe me I won't be ! read more

Maria's work is outstanding and I would highly recommend her! The quality of her work is truly amazing! Thank you.

Fabulous job! Had ordered a dress online, for my daughters first homecoming dance. When it arrived, it was huge and the company was giving us the run around about exchanging it. We were running out of time. Found this wonderful woman on Yelp and her reviews were great. Took a chance. Had the dress back in a week. She pretty much remade the top of the dress and only charged $50! Now we can take advantage of lower cost, online dresses and have them fixed. My daughter is going to be beautiful at the dance. read more

The sweetest. Very timely/prompt and very detailed precision when hemming. Also very reasonably priced.

I called in a rush to have a gown tailored , I was told to come in right away after two other shops turned me down due to the time frame . I was pinned quickly that same day and asked to come back for a semi fitting the next day to make sure she got the dress right prior to finishing it . I was incredibly impressed with her work at my mid fitting ... the dress fit like a glove !!! She saw the vision and made a strapless dress stay up on me with out straps . Needle nook is absolutely amazing and well priced. She constantly checked with me about how much each fix cost and what I could do to minimize the cost . I found my new tailor . read more

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND The Needle Nook for seamstress work. Ask for MARIA. She is the owner, professional, honest and a very kind woman. She was able to hem my curtains and customize some curtain panels with finished edges within 24 hours! I gave her 2 yards, which was enough to execute the job. She said to call her the next day (Friday) when she "cuts" for the prep to see if its enough material or not. Maria quoted 2 days for the job to be complete. When i called on Friday, she was able to complete the job! I was shocked in a very good way!!!! The customized curtain panels are PERFECT as well as the hemmed curtains. She actually had material left and gave me the scraps, along with a finished edge strip of material good enough to be a table runner! Yes, out of her kindness she did that!!! The unexpected table runner matches the curtain panels, which are in the dining room together. Im so HAPPY!!!! I'll definitely return for all of my tailoring needs. read more

Maria of Needle Nook is a fantastic seamstress! Now, the first seamstress I took it to was closer to me, but she told me the dress couldn't be altered and I needed to buy a new dress. I ignored her and instead followed my neighbor's recommendation and drove out to Needle Nook. Maria examined the dress very carefully and was able to place the corset in such a way that it looked like part of the original design of the dress. She does custom work and is excellent with fine tailoring. Her prices are also very reasonable. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of an experienced and professional seamstress. read more

Needle Nook Tailoring - Maria put a corset in this custom made wedding dress for me. Her work is flawless. - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Farmington Hills, Michigan

I forgot the lady's name, but she was so nice! I brought my dress in at 10:30 in the morning and needed it ASAP. She was able to finish it by 3 for me. It was done nicely also! read more

Very sweet lady, she hem'd a pair of jeans for me in less than 24 hours. First time there, great job!

My first experience here was to get a bridesmaids dress altered. While I only needed this hemmed and there wasn't any extensive alterations that had to be made, the overall experience was good. Came in on a Saturday close to 3pm, and Maria accommodated me even though she was about to close. She had me put on the dress, wear the shoes I'd be wearing the day of the wedding, had me stand on the pedestal in front of the three way mirror, and in less than five minutes I was done and changing out of the gown. All pretty standard stuff! She told me she'd have it done in about a week, and told it would be $45 dollars upon pick up! She was quick, sweet, and to the point! Dress was hemmed perfectly upon pick up a week later, so no complaints here. While I do love and miss my tailor in Birmingham, this is a welcome change since she's so much closer to where I live now. I'll have to bring her a dress that needs a bit more work and update my review from there! read more

She still does great work, but the last time I picked up a dress from her, she told me I had to pay an extra $20 because it was more work than she thought. She also charged me extra because she steamed it, which I told her I didn't need because the dress was going into my suitcase anyways and I'd need to have it dry cleaned. I happily paid because she does great work, but I was a little annoyed at the add ons before asking me. read more

My daughter needed last minute alterations to her Prom dress. Not only did Maria solve our problem but she made the dress look more elegant within a week! I wish I could post my daughter's dress to show proof! I will definitely be back! read more

Excellent service. I came in and had an evening gown that I needed taken in and hemmed in less than 48 hours and because I was a first-time customer, she delivered and did a great job! I just went again to have a dance skirt wish a fishtail back hemmed with about 4 days or so and she did a great job then too. I will definitely be going back for all my tailoring needs. read more

excellent and timely work. needed the top portion of a dress hemmed and it was very well done. mostly hand work. Maria is very good at her craft. read more

I have brought so many clothes to Maria to get altered that I have lost count. She is very honest about what she can and cannot do and she won't try to rip you off. I've brought her bathing suits to dresses to jeans and she's done such a great job on all of them. I HIGHLY recommend her for all of your tailoring needs. read more

Needle Nook has my highest recommendations. The owner, Maria, is nice, efficient and great at what she does. My first visit was to have my wedding dress (a vintage drop waist dress with a lace overlay) altered. She did a wonderful job. The seam looked so crisp and professional. I will continue to take my clothing to be tailored here. One bit of advice: if you happen to bring something in during homecoming or prom season, it might take longer than usual to finish. read more

I took my romper to Maria to alter, when i dropped it off she was short and seemed as though i was interrupting her. She told me it would be ready by Friday I went to pick it up, she could not find then, she blamed me because I did not tell her what she was looking for was long, WTF?? She told me the cost so I tried to pay with my card as she NEVER told me she only excepts cash. I had to go and get cash and she was still very RUDE...I Will NEVER use her again nor will I recommend her services. read more

My husband and I came her looking for a talented seamstress that understood alternative body shape. My husband is very muscular and very skinny so it's hard to get suits to fit him. The suit we brought he was for a wedding he was in. She did wonders on it. My husband was the best dressed in the wedding party. We were very pleased. read more

Did a great job on reducing the height of my collar on my jacket! Was a difficult job but she took it on and it didn't cost me too much more than quoted, which was unexpectedly awesome. Highly recommended. read more

Maria did a very good job in altering my bridesmaid dress in a timely manner. The wedding was 2 weeks away, and she had it ready a week before. Maria has had 40 years of experience as a seamstress and did a wonderful job. I was very impressed with her handiwork and will definitely recommend her to anyone seeking an alteration. I will also visit her store again the next time I need an alteration. Thanks again! read more
