    I took three long sleeve shirts in, 2 to make into short sleeve and one just needed a button sewed…read moreon. She shortened the sleeves on ALL the shirts, so my $80 shirt that needed a button was cut to make it shirt sleeve. She was in a hurry and paid no attention to her written instructions on the receipt. So I have a ruined shirt and she did not want to offer any compensation saying she could not afford it. Eventually I got her to write a check for $20. Do not trust this shop with anything you value.

    Long story short, save yourself a lot of frustration and go somewhere else. In summary: forgot…read moreabout my items, when I showed up rushed the job to where I had to get it redone elsewhere, incorrectly performed work on a second item twice, slow turn arounds. Detailed explanation below: I dropped off two items, a fabric briefcase that needed a patch sewn onto it and a jacket liner that needed a zipper replacement. There was another reviewer who took issue with pre-paying for services. I don't necessarily agree with that, as it is fairly normal for small businesses to require payment up front. This does, however, become an issue later on in this saga. Owner stated services should take two weeks. Two and a half weeks later, I return to the shop only to have the owner state she does not remember me (I presented her my receipt). Eventually she finds my items only to realize that she had completely forgotten about them and had not even started the work. Asks me to come back. This is the first indication I had that I should probably take my business elsewhere, but again I had pre-paid so this was not an easy option. Upon returning to the shop, she had completed my briefcase work, but again needed me to return for the jacket liner. It was obvious she had rushed the job just to get it done, and within a week the stiches started falling apart. She had rushed it to the point that there were significantly less sitches in the patch than were needed and I ended up having to take the briefcase elsewhere to have the work redone. In regards to the jacket liner, I returned a week later (now 3.5 weeks after initial drop-off) only to find that she had installed the incorrect zipper type. Being a jacket liner, it required a reversible zipper. She installed a traditional zipper which was both incorrect and made the jacket liner unusable as an actual jacket liner. I returned the liner to her at which point she stated "oh you want a reversible zipper? I will need to special order that. It will take one week to arrive and then two weeks to sew it on." I asked for a new receipt because I had a suspicion she would not remember me otherwise. Three weeks later (6.5 weeks after dropoff) I return for the jacket liner a third time. She, as predicted, did not remember me and told me I had already picked up my items even though I had handed her my reciept. She eventually found my jacket liner and once again the wrong type of zipper was installed. She then proceeded to argue with me despite me reminding her that she specifically said that she needed a week to order the correct reversible zipper. At that point, I just took my items and left. Save yourself the trouble. Go elsewhere. Norfolk Tailor at the MacArthur Center has worked out extremely well for me in the time since my debacle with Mina's Sewing Shop.
