They helped me figure out some very difficult maneuvers for a Christmas dress I made for my…read moredaughter and they were very patient and helpful

Rarely do I review anything apart from restaurants, but given the extraordinary service I received…read more from Mindy's, I feel it would be remiss of me to not leave a review. If you need to have a button sewed on, or need to hem a pair of pants or a dress, or perhaps even to have a new zipper added to a garment, Mindy's will do a reasonably good job. What they probably won't do is to provide it when they say they will, and they will not call you when they say they will...or indeed at all. But what if you need something bigger altered? I dropped in a coat to have the sleeves shortened. "No problem" they said. I told them I would be out of town for a month; they told me the garment 'should' be ready by then. It wasn't! Over the next few months I called in, and phoned to see how they were doing. On each occasion they told me they would call me and let me know. Six times in a row they failed to do this. Eventually I called in and said I need the coat. "Okay, Monday it will be ready, and I'll call you" I was told. They didn't call, so I called them. I was told a line of BS that was hard to swallow. They told me their leather work machine was broken and so they couldn't do the repair until their new one arrived. Fine..Except the coat is a Sherpa and made of cloth, not leather. I have used a domestic machine to make Sunbrella shades and covers for a boat and know what I was told, was rubbish. Still, I gave them the benefit of the doubt. So I called a week later and guess what, the new machine arrived but it was broken. Perhaps I look more stupid than I think. I had had a gutful! I called in and asked for the coat. "Don't have it, it's at home, I can have it repaired by Monday". I wouldn't be conned again and told her I will be in on Monday to pick it up. I did that and collected the coat. There was no evidence of  heavy duty sewing, but there was evidence of butchery. The sleeve was a complete mess. Torn material, sewing that would have been better done by an elementary student with basic skill, and I honestly thought the coat  was a write-off. I took it to a tailor who confirmed the diagnosis, but said she would try to save this very expensive, near new garment. Mindy's is a basic button sewing operation. If you have a garment you care for, I urge you to take it somewhere else. Their failure was complete and included a lack of talent, a failure to communicate and, I believe, they knew they had done a very bad job and deliberately tried to to deter me in the hope I would eventually forget about them and walk away. I wouldn't, and I didn't.
