Again, small towns don't need Yelp reviews, but when I saw two mixed reviews I thought I had to…read moreshow my support. First, Shauna A. has a lovely review, but she got the shop name wrong. "Fabric Temptation" is what she is referring to in her review. Second, although I greatly respect every personal experience, I can't help but disagree. I was in a fire that destroyed two truck loads of very expensive, rare and beautiful articles of clothing. Because the artist (call a name what she is) was sympathetic to my situation, she probably saved a half of one more truck load. In my picture profiles you see me jump (ocean behind me) with a pair of Hot Knot jeans. The owner of Sew What fixed a rather embarrassing burn hole. During class one afternoon a Professor asked me to go home. I walked into the lady's room to notice my underwear were clearly showing. Those jeans were new and slightly over $200. Working her magic, they are worn regularly to this day, years later. Same with clothing belonging to deceased loved ones and from ex-fiances who used their graphic art training to stamp Hot Knot T-shirts. I quite literally cried at some of the clothing the owner or her workers salvaged. The fire was emotionally devastating to me, and people were asking for money to be greedy and profit off of my tragedy. My family considers it trashy to sue, so I remained broke and slowly struggling...added salvaged items, one by one to my growing wardrobe. Currently a orange printed silk dress that was cut into a shirt is being repaired. You get what you pay for. I save the tags because the owner's penmanship is a work of art in itself. I have become so enthralled with the work being done at Sew What, I may take up sewing classes myself. Something good always comes out of the ashes (literally.) I only wish my one week old $1,000 silk bed set could have been salvaged. Years after the fire, I still have plenty of clothes that are getting a makeover. For that I am grateful. Very grateful for everything I have in my life: material and otherwise Finally, my reviews are not mostly negative or bipolar reviews. And I don't praise what is "cool" and make passive aggressive stabs at people who don't see my photo or name. I am accountable for my actions/reviews. I am mature enough to know that owning a business is very difficult. It is unconscionable to trash a business because you have poor communication skills. If you are unhappy with her work, why go back over and over again? That's plain stupidity. And "trying" to be "nice" in a review where you repeat the same problems and immediately trash her store is not cute, nor funny. My final thought is that I don't act passive aggressively and write the lowest star review possible rather then talk to the owner. I would just as soon not write one, because a shop like Sew What is dependent on people to trust them. I have been going there for years and nothing has been "murdered" (such a imaginative phrase.) That review could have been boiled down into three sentences. Thank you.

I initially chose a less expensive seamstress for my wedding dress alterations, and unfortunately, the neckline was completely botched and uneven. With my wedding only being 1 month away, this was a huge disappointment and caused an unnecessary additional amount of stress. I brought my dress to Carole, who was recommended by the bridal shop, and she was an absolute pleasure. She fixed the neckline beautifully and, while working on the dress, also noticed that the original bustle had been poorly done and was likely to break. Only 1 button for all that fabric (right where my bottom hits the chair), I mean come on! Carole fixed it beautifully with a French bustle. Before and after photo below. What I appreciate most is that she was willing to take on someone else's work and fix it, even though I had originally passed on her because her quote was higher. After seeing the love and quality she put into my dress, I truly wish I had just gone with her from the beginning! She was professional, knowledgeable, and so so kind. I'm forever grateful she was able to save my wedding dress so I could wear it with no regrets on my special day! I am truly so appreciative of Carole and the work she put into my gown. I will be recommending Carole to all my besties for their gown alterations and I definitely recommend her for yours too!
