Patched a pair of chinos and hemmed a pair of suit pants. Both went better than expected and were inexpensive. I love the casual nature of the shop and the owner; felt like I was truly supporting a local family business that takes pride in their work. Would definitely use their services again. read more

Excellent alterations. Super personable workers. Convenient Skyway location. Fair prices. Use 'em!

Last year I had a last minute dress alteration that I waited a little too long to do- it was Wednesday and I needed the dress by the weekend after next (9 days)! It was a two layer skirt hem. I called and she asked if I needed it back by this weekend (3 days!!). Thankfully I didn't but am glad to know that she can do the work quickly!! Upon getting the dress back, it was altered to perfection and she insisted that I try it on to make sure. On my way out I picked up a few fabric masks- she makes custom patterned ones and even could have made the size different if requested. Conveniently located in the skyway and priced fine (not super cheap or super expensive, especially for being downtown) will definitely use Sew What again! read more

Sew What - Sew What quickly fixed my zipper! - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

I live downtown and have been here a number of times, (and a few times during Covid); the staff is polite, efficient, and do great work. I typically work with Hilda, and she patiently takes measurements and walks you through the options, (and prices) that might apply to the alteration. She'll offer choices, then you can select the quality/price range you are looking for. (I wanted to have some pants tapered, and she gave a few ideas). I would recommend them highly. (I just wish they weren't on the skyway, and had more weekend hours). :-) read more

Highly recommend this conveniently located skyway shop. I've used them several times now for alternations and I always have a great experience. read more

This place is great ! I had a last minute bridesmaid dress that needed to be taken out and every other place on the market told me it would take two weeks when I realistically had only 4 days to get it done.Moreover, some places had the audacity to make me feel bad that the dress did not fit properly my body (like sorry the dress fit my rib cage awkwardly and had to be altered). This place was the only place that said it could be done in time. Everything went smoothly, and the dress fit perfectly! I will choose sew what for all my alteration needs in the future! read more

Was in a bit of a crunch of time and needed clothes to be fitted and everything got it all done in less than a day. Great price for great craftsmanship would recommend to anyone who needs clothes altered. read more

While I haven't had them do anything elaborate for me yet, like take-ins or let-outs, they did hem two pairs of pants for me very professionally, at a great price, and had the job done early, no less. Also the convenient location a block from my work downtown helps. Next time I have a major alteration I'll update with the results, but for friendly service and timely completion Sew What gets my vote. read more

I've been here several times over the last few years. Convenient location in the skyway and good hours for the working professional in downtown! However, the best part is their candidness. Every employee has been straightforward about what type of alterations will suit my items best -- even when it means altering my item won't work! Every tailored piece of clothing has fit exactly as anticipated. Definitely a repeat customer. read more

I took a dress here to be hemmed for a wedding. The owner/manager is super sweet and advised me on how my maxi dress would look best with the appropriate measurement to hem. The price is also very reasonable and great location for me in the skyway. read more

I recently had a vintage dress hemmed at the skyway location and was pleased by the service and price. Fairly quick turnaround too. I will return for additional alterations. read more

Sew What is awesome. I've taken in suits, jeans, skirts, dress, leather pants and everything came back looking exactly like I wanted it and fitting my body great. !! read more

This place was wonderful! I took one of my suits in to get it tailored and they did an excellent job! I could not be happier. The rates are reasonable. They had to do a lot of work on it to get it fitted properly. Here is what I had done... Pants- Inseam shortened, waist taken in, the rise shortened... Suit coat- sleeves shortened, sides taken in, and neck line altered. All of that for around $60. Needless to say I will be taking everything here to get it altered from here forward. There were no hold ups or delays. It was all done when they told me it would be which is a huge thing after reading all of the reviews from other tailors not having the garments ready when they promise. Overall I am thrilled with the work! Thank you Sew What for making this painless and for a perfect fit on the first try. I will be back soon! read more

They do an outstanding job here. I have had over 9 suits tailored and every time I get the individualized attention you'd expect from a quality tailor. Lastly, prices are more than fair and turnaround times are short. 5 stars read more

Because I had to lose weight for my daughters wedding resulting in the dress being purchased late, I was running into problems finding someone to hem my dress. All of the places I contacted near my home were booked out beyond the wedding date. I checked the downtown location, was told they could get it done quickly. I brought my dress in on Tuesday, was measured, and they guaranteed it would be done by Friday. I picked it up Friday morning at 10. The estimate they gave me was from 28 to 40, and they did charge the 40. I can't complain though because it was done thoroughly and timely. read more

Purchased a suit at Saks Off 5th and took it to Sew What. The tailor (and store manager) said they could make it "look great". They screwed up the collar/shoulder on the suit jacket and couldn't fix their mistake after 2 attempts. Then blamed it on the manufacturer. I told them I wasn't happy and she replied there was nothing more she could do. I had to demand my money back but they only refunded the cost of the jacket alterations. Looks terrible. Really bad experience. Will not be back. read more

I have been to Sew What several times and had great service. Once it was to have a dress taken in and the employee made several good suggestions on how/where to tailor the dress, and in the end it felt like it was custom-made. This week I ripped a blouse when I reached for something and they were able to fix it while I waited (less than 10 mins). My experience has been quality work at a fair price. read more

I've used the downtown location several times and my last visit - was the last straw. Ignoring the complete lack of customer service at this location, I found them to be consistently overpriced (not just a bit - a LOT, in comparison to other tailor's I've used) but I had an instance where I went to pick up an item on the day it was due and without even looking at the ticket, was told it wasn't ready. I decided that I'd go back - get a full refund (feeling that I'd paid about twice what I should have, anyway) and take my item elsewhere. Upon returning - 5 minutes later - it was magically 'ready'. They charge whatever they like, based on who knows what, and the other thing is - you have to pay up front!? No other business that I have ever dealt with in the service industry has you pay for the service before it's even been completed. Ridiculous. Will not go back. read more
