The Sewing Room is definitely not your typical alteration shop! The dress looked nice before, but The Sewing Room worked their magic and made it look like it was made just for my daughter. They took in the sides to highlight her waist, shortened the length, and reduced some of the skirt's puffiness. Every time we go there, they make us feel like we're on a runway -- truly exceptional work! read more

Excellent and very professional I have been with this company over 40ty years! I have recommended this establishment to my family for many events altering outfits for weddings, showers, costumes and even animal gear. Pam Rosta read more

Awesome job!!! I'm very happy with the repair that needed to be done. Super nice and fast too!!!

Quick and reliable. Prices are reasonable too. Helped me in a pinch! Did 2 dress and my toddlers pants

I took my daughter's special teddy bear to The Sewing Room get his foot repaired. The lady who talked to us when we dropped the bear off was so kind and reassured my daughter that she would take great care of him. She said it would take a week to get him back but surprised us with a call the next day to let us know he was ready to go home! She told me that she knew my daughter would miss him so she took care of him sooner. The work she did was amazing and my daughter and I are so happy. I would recommend this place over and over. I also want to thank the person I messaged with about the work. She was also very nice and so helpful. This project means a lot to both of us and everyone was so amazing throughout it all. read more

Hands down would recommend this place to any soon-to-be-bride! I knew I found my perfect dress - it just didn't look so at first try-on at the dress boutique. I'm 5'2" and built like a twig with no curves to fill in any of the needed areas. But the Sewing Room bippity-boppity-booped my dream dress to life. The ladies up front here listen to you and will make suggestions - but there is no pressure to do anything unless you want to. And the seamstress behind-the-scenes, well, she's just the best around. Every cost was upfront and very reasonable compared to the local competition. They got my dress done early and even when I was satisfied with its look, if they found something that needed to be worked on, they would fix it. This business cares about the product they put out - and that's a business you want to place your trust in. read more

I've been coming here for years, between moving and returning to the area. The ladies are great and the turn around time is fair. My only negative, really, is the price tends to be a tad steep but the quality always holds up. read more

I took some clothes I bought from Shein here because they were all too big in the bodice. They exceeded my expectations and my clothes now look, feel and fit amazing! I highly recommend this place. Between the great prices I bought the clothes for and the reasonable rates for the alterations I would most definitely do the same thing the next time I need to refresh my wardrobe read more

I felt respected as a customer. The price was excellent. I had been trying to decide between altering or purchasing new. The alteration orice definitely was the wiser move. I don't have the completed items yet but I have no concerns about the quality I will see when I pick them up.​ read more

I needed a place to take my wedding gown to be altered as the shop I bought it from was way out of my budget. After some recommendations from friends, I decided to go to the sewing room and I am so glad that I did. I was told to go 3-4 months before my wedding and they were able to completely alter my dress in a month and in only one fitting. I got to take my dress home two months before my wedding day. I couldn't believe the quick turn around time and how much more affordable it was for all the work that they did. My dress has a lot of detail and beading, and the team at the sewing room did better than I could have ever imagined! I will definitely be a return customer for any future alteration needs read more

I dread going to get alterations, because it always seems to be a pain in the butt for me. I can't seem to find one that I like, and have been putting off this task for months because of this. I really only needed two pairs of pants hemmed, but I finally got the motivation to do something about it. I scrolled through Yelp for ages trying to find a place, and this business kept coming up. It seems to get amazing reviews so I messaged the business. What I loved was that I didn't need to make an appointment. I love this! I showed up saturday and I was there right at opening. I was literally the first person there. I guess they do bridal fittings before 10 am when they open, so they were wrapping up a bridal alteration when I arrived. I went into the changing room and a very nice gal helped me with my two pairs of pants. One of them was a pair of jeans, and she gave me two options about hems. One was traditional, and the other was to match the bottom where it didn't look like it had been hemmed. It was only a few dollars more, so I upgraded and got the matching worn look. I showed up this saturday and the place was jamming! Clearly, everyone and their mother goes here, and it was so busy. Fortunately, I was waited on quickly, and was able to get my pants in no time. They offered me the chance to try the pants on, but I was in a hurry and said no. Overall, they made this a really positive experience and I feel better having come here. As a side note, go right when they on Saturdays, as no one is there and it goes a lot quicker. read more

Fast, accurate, good quality work, reasonably priced for the level of quality you receive. Highly recommend the business for men's alterations. read more

They did not do what we requested them to do. They did not shorten spaghetti straps. Top was to baggy as a result and we had to sew it ourselves. read more

Great service. Needed a "rush" job and they executed it seamlessly. Very professional and work was completed to satisfaction.

The Sewing room did an amazing job on my wedding dress! They helped me re do the whole back!! It fit perfectly! read more

I have emailed and called multiple times over the past 3 weeks for an alteration inquiry, and have yet to receive a call or email back. Is there a better way to contact for services? read more

I needed my dress taken in with a time restraint of 3 days, during prom season. They charged me a rush fee which I was more than willing to pay $$$.. however it was only $5!! The dress fit perfect, excellent alterations. This is the second dress I've taken here. I won't go anywhere else!! read more

They treated me great when I first showed up, they knew I was cost conscious and we discussed price. But showing back up the second time she gave all her attention to a bride that was willing to spend more, and they cheapened the experience for me. I needed it taken out more than they took it out to begin with and they were going to charge me again. Which didn't make much sense to me. I was on a time constraint but overall just felt like I deserved a little more attention. And by no means was I expecting anything to be done for free. I think if you're spending a lot of money on your wedding, and you are free to spend whatever you can, go here. Or if you are the only one coming in on a slow morning before they open, go here. They were very willing to work with me that first day, and they found avenues to cut cost. I'm just very disappointed about my second time in. read more

I highly recommend if you need alterations to take it to The Sewing Room. They did a fantastic job on my wedding dress! And they are super nice too! read more

Update: went to pick up my dress they overcharged the hem job for and there was a large stain on it. Had to sit for at least twenty minutes while one girl tried to get it out, arguing w her coworkers and asking for help while none of them paid her any mind. Won't be returning. read more

Oh the sewing room! I think everyone in Shelby, Utica or even Macomb has gotten something altered or fix at the sewing room! I have gotten several things altered here in fact. From shortening straps on a shirt, to taking on pants and even hemming a bridesmaids dress. This place and do it all, in a short amount of time, with a smile and most importantly the correct way! I highly recommend the sewing room to EVERYONE!!! read more

Great job, reasonable and turn around time excellent too. Definitely recommending and will use again.

Got my jeans hemmed here! Nice staff and they did great work! Will definitely go back for any other alterations!

I went to the Sewing Room back in July after hearing about the outrageous cost I would incur if I let the bridal salon do the alterations to my wedding gown. I worked closely with the owner, Kelly, to discuss the way my dress fit versus the way it should fit. Let's just say the bridal salon wanted to alter the corset top, which in fact just needed to be tied tighter. The salon also wanted to do alterations to the bottom of the dress, but within less than five minutes of looking at my dress while it was on me, Kelly speculated that the liner was sewn too tight and wanted to let that out first before really cutting into the exterior of the dress. When I went back for the second fitting (after they simply let the liner out), the dress fit like a glove! The only thing required from that point was the bustle! And the cost to do all of this? Less than $100! I took two of my bridesmaids there to have major work done on their dresses. One had a dress 2 sizes too big and was quoted over $150 by an uncertain seamstress, and the other had a dress 2 sizes too small and was quoted the same amount by another uncertain seamstress. Kelly and her staff worked miracles and made these dresses fit like gloves for very reasonable amounts (both under $100)! My girls looked beautiful and they were both very comfortable! My mother had a dress for the wedding that needed some repairs and she had Kelly and her staff do these repairs as well. The dress required a new zipper, which was put on and looked like it was the original. My mother-in-law found a dress for the wedding that had a sleeveless top with a sheer jacket, which she wanted cut up and attach to the actual top of the dress. She went to Kelly with an idea of what she wanted the end result to be, but the reality was that her idea wasn't really practical due to the material and what the end result would truly look like. Kelly made some suggestions based on the material, the look of the dress, and her professional experience. My mother-in-law has been going to The Sewing Room (under its previous name) for over 15 years. She trusted Kelly to do her best and the dress came out beautiful as ever! It was such a good match to what my mother-in-law envisioned and it worked really well with the style and material of the dress. I can't say enough good about Kelly, her staff, the store itself (it's really cute and clean), and just the overall service we all received. I can confidently speak for myself, my two bridesmaids, my mother and my mother-in-law when I say this business knows their industry extremely well and it truly trustworthy. Kelly will be upfront with what she is capable of doing as well as has a keen eye for seems, fabric, and fits. I can not wait to take more items to her! Btw, my wedding dress was the second dress I took to her after she did such a wonderful job on a dress I took to her earlier in the summer. read more

Thanks for the review Jen! I was a little paranoid about having my expensive new jeans hemmed, but I'm SO glad I took them here. They will shorten the jeans and re-attach the original hem so they don't look weird. The owner called it the "tricky hem". Don't forget to wash and dry your pants before coming in. Owner was very nice, price was reasonable ($15), clean private dressing rooms to try on your clothes for the perfect fit. I will definitely be back! read more

It's actually called The Sewing Room now as Monika is no longer there. The owner is a wonderfully pleasant lady who takes the time to chat while she measures. This is not one of those "what's your inseam" type places. This is the real deal, old world craftsmanship style tailoring. The ladies have you try EVERYTHING on and pin your clothes right there around your body for a perfect fit. Their work is on the higher side of average but well worth every penny. I am just shy of being classified as a dwarf and, consequently, must alter every pair of pants, skirt, suit, etc... that I buy. Over the years I've been to many tailors and I have to say this is the only place I will patronize now. You just can't put a price on knowing your clothing will be altered perfectly in a few days. They do have weird hours but the shoe repair shop next door (also highly recommended-$9 to reheel boots!) stays open later and you can prepay and pick your items up there. read more

Kelly, Jessica and their seamstrist's provide "Outstanding Customer Service". Kelly and Jessica always Greet you with a Smile :). They are always very busy, in a good way, and always greet you and accommodate you. The Sewing Room seamstrist's do exceptional work. Always pleased with their work. Thank you Kelly, Jessica and all of the seamstrist. Gratefully and Respectfully, Sharon Papcun Note: They always alter my flight attendant uniforms that suit my body to make me look professional and presentable. If it weren't for the Sewing Room my flight attendant dress would look like I'm wearing a potatoe sack. I note this, because I am a woman of size, and the Sewing Room's work, makes me look professional and presentable, for which I am grateful :) read more

I had my wedding dress altered at The Sewing Room after hearing multiple positive reviews from family and friends and I'm so glad I did. Wedding dresses can be expensive so it was nice knowing my dress was in expert hands. The ladies at The Sewing Room are very kind and great at their craft. They were always very transparent with prices, and I was able to schedule all 3 visits at once which was nice. My dress was altered in a timely fashion and was done very well. read more

First let me say I dont know much about sewing or alterations. However my son tells me 5 days before a game that his baseball pants are way to big. Took them to the sewing room based upon some positive Yelp reviews. I was told I would get them back in 3 days for a reasonable rate. Perfect. They called 2 days later and had them ready. Even better. If I do have to alter something in the future (no idea what) I will definitely use the sewing room. read more

I have been going here for years. They have always provided great results and pleasant to interact with. Saturdays may be hectic so if you think you need extra attention Saturday is probably not the best choice. read more

I have had two bridesmaid dresses altered here, and both have turned out perfect! They both were done in less than two weeks at a reasonable price. No appointment needed! This is my new favorite place! read more

I have been going to the Sewing Room for over a year. I take something to be altered once a week. I am NEVER disappointed. I am always greeted with happy faces, big smiles, can I help you; you can step into that fitting room. The miracles they work are unbelievable. My Jumpsuits, dresses gowns, pants, anything I take them; they can do. When I pick the item up; a week after I drop it off; I always try it on and as usual what ever I have had altered is perfect. Weather it is a zipper, a hem, straps pulled up, anything that needs to be altered and fixed they can do it! read more

Jessica was a dream to work with. I brought in a pair of shorts and a skirt to be hemmed, and she was so patient and helpful with us figuring out the correct length for both- especially the shorts! We had two lengths we were considering, and then she even suggested a third length we could try. I am very particular about things being good quality/perfect when I'm spending money on them, and I felt so incredibly grateful that she wanted my items to be perfect too. Thank you Jessica!!!! read more

I needed my dress shortened for a Wedding I had in 2 days and the owner is a very nice lady who obliged. The lady who actually did the alteration was nice as well. In short, I was desperate to get it done and they delivered. read more

I had a skirt rehemmed here. It took a week to get it back, but it was only $8. I'll probably be back to have jeans done.

The ladies who work here clearly know what they are doing! They have great prices, are quick, and super friendly. I have already recommended other people to go here, and they were equally as impressed! read more

Overall satisfied. Pricing was decent, the work done was excellent. Turnaround time wasn't too bad (if you're in a time crunch, I wouldn't go here). I would have liked it a little faster. I'll be back whenever I need any alterations in the future. read more

My first encounter with this business was over the phone. Jessica acted and sounded like she wanted my business and I could tell it was busy when I called. She was so friendly and welcoming. When I took my dress in, they were very consultative. I explained the dress was for my son's wedding. They listened to what I wanted and discussed step by step what to expect. My dress has layers, beading, and a scalloped hem, which is not an easy sewing task. They raised the hem and the bodice to match what I wanted. They were so very different from the alterations department at the fancy store where I bought my dress. They really care about the quality of their work. Jessica even helped me choose shoes! I told them they should change the name of the store to the "dress doctor" because they can heal your alterations woes. It doesn't hurt that they are reasonably priced! I could go on and on. So glad I found them! read more

Gave them plenty of time to alter dress with matching jacket. Went to pick it up and it had bottom of dress just hanging and not altered. Top of shoulders were just folded over and sewn as if a 6 year old had done it. Had to return and still did not look good. Went to wedding with jacket continuously falling off shoulders. Most uncomfortable day of my life. And the cost was ridiculous, $200, they cut to $180 because I had to return. I would NEVER recommend the place EVER! If you value your clothing don't go there! read more
