Mandy literally worked miracles for me the week before my wedding and I cannot recommend her enough…read moreI ordered a dress from an Etsy shop online (not Mandy) because I wanted something colorful and non traditional. I knew it was risky and the timeframe was really short and long story short it ended up being a bad choice - the dress I ordered was awful! With only one week before my wedding I rushed to Davids Bridal to try to find a dress off the rack. Obviously though, going to a bridal shop, non-traditional dresses are hard to come by and the best I could find was a cute ivory tea length, A-line dress. I really wanted something colorful and floral still so I found some floral tulle at JoAnne's and then searched for a local seamstress to see if anyone local could figure out something to do with my boring ivory dress, and in just a matter of days! Oh and the shoulders needed to be taken in as well!! Mandy was quick to respond, invited me to her home-based shop and said she could do it and would have it done by the next day!! It was even better than I expected! Like a whole new dress and fit like a glove!! I felt absolutely beautiful and received countless compliments! I highly recommend Mandy! Not only an excellent designer and seamstress, but also extremely kind and great to work with! Thank you Mandy for saving the day and making me feel so beautiful on my special day!!!!

This is an adorable, somewhat small shop-classroom-studio. There are lots of indy label sewing patterns (like Christine Hayes, Colette, etc), sewing notions, a smattering of scrapbooking items and some lovely locally-handmade pieces. The Makehouse offers fun classes. They offer basic sewing, pattern making, upholstering and specific piece workshops. There's a Kids Club a couple nights a week. They also have drop in sewing times and "sewcials". It seems local fiber artists use the space as a studio...it's an inspiring environment. They were featuring some unique hand embroidered portraits of women by an artist named Annie Nazarian when I stopped by. Unique, interesting. There's a definite Somerset Studio, slightly vintage vibe coursing through The Makehouse that is charming...if staying downtown, it's worth the extra block's jaunt to visit or if local, a few hours to stop for a class. I try to spend a couple weeks at a time every few years in Victoria - and on my next extended stay I intend to take some classes...I can't wait for my next visit!

He was very quick to respond to email and was very interested in having me approve the proof before moving forward with the printing. For my second printing job, I was most impressed on how he was able to change the color very last minute and gave me no grief about it. He is reasonably priced! He runs his business out of his garage, which can be hard to find but I am really happy I found him. Not only was I able to the things I needed printed but I also contributed to the local economy.

Trophies? Great work. Embroidery? I'd go elsewhere…read more I had Mister T's make some trophies for the recreational soccer team I coached a few years back, and they did a good job and the price was reasonable. So I went back to have 2 baseball hats made for baseball season, since I'd be coaching a Little League team for La Conner again. I asked if they had the traditional 'Block' Lettering Logo for LC, like you see everywhere - San Diego Padres, SF Giants, LA Dodgers, etc. They didn't, but "they could set that up", they assured me. I was clear I wanted a block L bisecting a block C, and I even drew a picture just to be clear. I paid more than $40 for 2 hats (I realized there would be an embroidery set up fee), but the hats I received were bad. The C wasn't really a block letter, and the lower part of the L was lower than it should have been. We had a game the next day, so I paid and left with the hats. I never wore the hat after those l 14 or 16 baseball games. (I gave 1 to our Asst Coach.) But I was never happy about those hats. I expected more. Then my wife found it in the garage the other day. Ugh. I can't stand this hat. So, for trophies, I think Mister T's does a great job. And if they already have an embroidery pattern they can show you that they've used dozens of times before, that's probably OK as well. But I can't recommend any custom embroidery from them.
