Amy’s Sewing Shop

Quit complaining 1 star reviewers — she is great at what she does and it’s only her working the shop. Just because she isn’t jumping over the counter to help you with your alterations needs doesn’t mean she can’t do ANYTHING you need done. Be patient with her. Explain the task you want clearly. She has worked magic on everything I have brought her, and trust me — i’ve really pushed the limits to what can be done at a sewing shop.

Terrible customer service skills, she made us feel unwelcome, and was not willing to help!
… What a wasted time, driving from SouthPas for nothing!!! :o (
I am going back to the usual cleaners… The lady is always too busy, but does a great job, worth the wait and price!

Amy has been nothing short of great in my limited experiences working with her. I’ve come back twice already for shirts (adjust width, sleeves) and dress pants, and will continue to bring my clothes to her.
Once I learned how she prefers I communicate my sizing needs to her, it’s been very simple and easy.

She shouldn’t get an customers because her service is SHIT! I walked in and she didn’t even see what I needed to have altered and she said sorry I can’t do that for you…

I am very satisfied with the alteration on my daughter’s prom dress. Amy has 29 years of experience. It was worth the 25 minutes to get here.

I’m one to get a great deal of alterations done due to the fact I’m a «tweener» size. I’ve found it vital to find a go-​to person for this service wherever I’ve lived. Amy’s is my place. I find her work to be on par with any place I’ve ever frequented in the last 25 years I’ve been taking my clothes to be altered. Everyone I’ve gone to has made incremental mistakes, and all have fixed them when i pointed out that it was not to my satisfaction. Amy is no different.
As for comments that she is rude, i believe it’s a combination of social, stoic demeanor, and very much old school cultural norms. Being AZN myself, but raised here, i get it, and get her.
I believe she does a nice job at very good rates to do standard work. I have yet to had her do work that was terribly complicated, nor work on a pricey item, so i can’t advise on that. I’m a loyal and repeat customer for a reason.
She is who she is, and does solid work, at very good prices. I’m a fan.

I’m going back to Amy’s. I’ve had her do simple things, like hem jeans, skirts and curtains, and she’s done consistently good work.
Recently, she did something more complicated, by fixing baggy armpits on this James Perse dress of mine. It’s terrific.
Amy does not seem to speak English very well, and that can be difficult for communication.
I don’t think she’s rude, but I do think she comes across as introverted and to some, unfriendly. But, I really think her vibe is born of cultural differences, and a language barrier.
Her work, so far, is solid.

I am the first person to support local businesses however the woman that works here is really rude. I came in here with a good attitude and a few questions about pricing and the turn around. Not once did she look up at me and was very short. There’s no reason for anyone to be rude. Let alone to a potential paying costumer. Maybe she was having a bad day who knows. This business is two blocks away from my residents and I was really hoping this would be my go-​to alterations spot. Oh well, I’m taking my business else well.

CAN’T SEW STRAIGHT!!!
Why do we get things tailored or altered? It’s because we are detail-​oriented. If a sleeve is half an inch too long, we want it to look and fit right!
I brought in a brand-​new Ralph Lauren blazer to get the sleeves shortened. The shortening part was performed adequately. The sleeve buttons that had to be sewn back on, however, looked like they were done by a 12 year old. Originally, there were four buttons, she only put back three. When I asked about this, she said she would put on the fourth buttons. However, she was didn’t sew any of the buttons on in a straight line; if there was a pattern at all, it was a zig-​zag. I tried to explain that I want the buttons in a straight row, she muttered about nobody doing it like that. I realized it was most expedient to just leave. So, I left, went home, unstitched all the buttons and sewed them back on.
In short, the woman is extremely lazy. She tries to get by with the least amount of labor possible. If you’re a person who wants things done right, DO NOT come here.
HIGHLY UNRECOMMENDED!!!

I brought my vintage dress I bought from Owl Talk (north Eagle Rock Blvd, by Colorado) here as was suggested by the women who worked there. The lady did a fine job with the alterations and I have no complaints. I do suggest when you go in that you are clear with her about what you want. For my dress she made a suggestion, but I told her I’d rather have her alter it a different way, which she said she could do.
As for the hemming of pants, I can’t say, but she did hem another dress of mine that was too long. She pinned it while I was wearing and checked with me as to the length. She will make suggestions but ultimately you need to tell her what you want.
She does speak in an accent, but I didn’t find any difficulty explaining what I wanted since she pins the suggested alterations while you’re wearing it, so I’m not sure why others would’ve had a bad experience, unless they didn’t try it on in front of her.
She is a one-​person shop.

I hate to badmouth a local business, but this seamstress ruined a pair of new jeans that I was very excited about. She took incompetent measurements which caused her to hem the jeans way too short. I’m going to have to throw them away and buy another pair. She also informed me that she didn’t have the right color thread, and wasn’t forthcoming with suggestions of thread she did have. Also, both times I came in to the shop I felt like I was inconveniencing her.

Horribly rude woman who doesn’t speak English very well. I asked her pricing at the start but by the end the final total was waaay off and way to high.
I brought in 15 items for basic fittings and she wanted charge me $ 240. When I told her that her pricing did not match her original quota and that I only needed her to fix 4 of the items, she charged me $ 15 extra because I (and I quote) «wasted her time».

Wow, I am shocked by the other review! I took a pair of jeans to be hemmed and the woman did a PERFECT job. The hem looked great and were the exact length that I had requested. She was perfectly pleasant, too.
The alteration cost SEVEN DOLLARS! So inexpensive. And lastly, she turned the job around in 4 hours without charging extra. I am so excited to have found my new alterations place!

Terrible service, sloppy work! I have never been treated so rudely at a tailor than the Asian woman who runs this shop. I’ve been here twice for simple hems on jeans. First time she was not only rude but my jeans looked like they were hemmed by a 12 year old. The fact that I gave this woman a second chance is my fault. She ruined a pair of $ 250 Diesels and then refused to even acknowledge that she hemmed them shorter than the receipt shows. Even worse, she refused to fix them without being paid AGAIN. I was absolutely stunned that she would treat a new customer this way. AVOID!
