Embroidered Fanny pack

Took a gift to be embroidered and chose this place since it was near my home and had great reviews. We were greeted by a kind woman that took our request and helped us pick options. We dropped it off Wednesday and was told it would be done Friday between 2-6pm. We went to pick it up on Friday and there was a gentleman that was working and didn't know what item we were talking about even though we came with our ticket for the item. The item was not ready and we were told they could possibly have it done by Monday. But they would try their best to have it done by tomorrow ( Saturday) because their machine is broken. We were a little confused because how could they get it done if the machine was broken? Anyway we decided to still go through with the order even though the gift was already late. We go in on Saturday and pick up our item. The wording was slightly crooked and the font was not at all what we had asked for. We asked for lettering that matched the current font on the front of the fanny pack. Now we have to take the embroidery off and try and get it done by a new place. The picture is the start of removal but as you can see it looks like it was poorly done and the person must have been in a rush.

16 curtain panels made into 4 extra wide panels.

I purchased 16 curtain panels for my patio because I was unable to find any extra wide. So I set out to find a seamstress to attach 4x4 to achieve the look I wanted. I am so pleased with the workmanship and the turn around time. I have been to other seamstresses for other things and was so disappointed - now that I have found Blancas embroidery and the work that she and Maria have done, I plan to only use them. So thrilled how these turned out. Thank you Maria and thank you Blanca!!

i need some golf shirts shortened and the arm holes fixed that were to big and Blanca did a fabulous job, everything fit perfectly and the price was great. i also had been looking for someone to copy a favorite golf skort I had and Blanca did it.. it fits perfectly, I gave her the original skort and the fabric and in a week I had my new skort... I will be buying more material and will be having her make several more! The skirt fits me and its way cheaper than buying a skort at the pga store.. If you needs some clothes altered or even somthing made Blanca can do it. Give her call see attached pics of the skort she made , black is the one she made from looking at the other..

Dress that was altered.

See all

We had to do an alteration on a pair of dress pants for an upcoming cruise. Excellent work and price. Thank you, Blanca.

Great work! Fast turn-around! Fair pricing…read more I needed to have 36 drapery panels shortened for my house. I pinned them, measured them and brought them to Lani. What a great job. She advised against stitching the panels together because she believed (and I now agree) I wouldn't get the look I was seeking. She completed the work in a couple of days and each panel is exactly the same length. How do I know? Because I thought they weren't on one window--so I measured them. It turned I had hung the rod a half inch off level. But the drapery was hemmed to 1/16th of an inch. Great work and a really nice lady. Only draw back is that she operates as cash-only. Bring cash or a check.

I liked dealing with Lani in person. Services are expensive and not fast. We have to consider she…read morehas the store overhead expenses in a tough economy. She had to make two minor alterations on a simple $90 bridesmaid type satin dress. Raised the hem and tightened one arm strap and it was $75. I took another event dress that needed more complicated work (being it was several sizes too big) to someone else who had a home based operation with just social media marketing, because after this I was worried how much it would cost. It wound up being only $10 and 2 days of turn around. Both professionals did a great job on my dresses, so bottom line is I had no qualms about the quality here, it's just expensive. After seeing how another person works, I do wish Lani had spent a little more time assessing the fit though, because I think she could have identified another area to be addressed, but didn't realize until the day I had to wear the dress. I'd say, make sure you really take your time when looking at your tailoring needs while in Lani's shop, because I'm pretty sure she has the ability but is just quite busy.

They lost a customer for sure I come regularly and this time I went to pick up my pants I always get them done with no crease and I noticed one of them had a crease on them So I let the lady know "hey I asked for no crease on all of them. "She rolled her eyes and didn't even say anything to me She just took the pants out off the bag and hangar and told me to wait a couple minutes. No apologies no nothing , she didn't even ask if I could wait a couple of minutes she just decided on her own that I had a couple of minutes to spare. Luckily I didn't have anywhere to be. When she is done she just hangs up my pants and yells "it's ready" and walks away. I wasn't asking for my money back or trying to argue with them I was just trying to solve a problem which THEY made and I get treated like if I started the issue.

Friendly service for some alterations for a set of PJ's I dropped off for my grandmother, with a…read moretwo day turnaround for hemming. Pricing felt a bit steep at about $40 to just shorten the bottom length, but it was fine since I needed them within the next few days. However, one bummer was pickup. When my grandparents picked up, the cleaners could not locate the Pajamas. They gave me a tag number for the order yet didn't have the pajamas, so we had to review every clothing bag based on color of our clothing. The set was finally located, but it took a lot of work to find it and didn't instill a lot of confidence in leaving my valuable items with them again.
