    This is a review of Chris' intro to sewing class. It was amazing! She took the time to make sure I understood how to use my machine and its different functions and suggested good resources and starter projects. The lesson never felt rushed and she was very patient. She also offered to let me stop by if I ever felt stuck and needed help on a project! Overall, I'd highly recommend the sewing classes for people like me who are enthusiastic beginners but don't have a clue. :-)

    Thank you Yelp for helping me find Chris! She did a great job altering my wedding dress, and while my dress was relatively simple, I would have trusted her with a much more complicated job. Not only does she do a good job, but she also has a warm personality and clearly loves what she does. In short, she is wonderful to work with. On top of that, her prices are very reasonable, AND she is willing to come to you for fittings and deliveries (at least in DC- I live in SE)!!! This was more than I hoped for, and in the hectic last few weeks before my wedding, this was a huge!

    Chris is amazing at what she does. She is very affordable and professional. I had a hem alteration that needed to be performed for a bridesmaid's dress and was referred to her by a friend after a less favorable experience with a hem job at another alteration shop (read* uneven hemline). The detail was even better than the original hem. She is also very personable and makes herself available for your convenience. I would definitely return for any of my other sewing needs.

    *Probably best to call for appointments/pickups versus walk-ins
