Lovely work, lovely people. Saved my favorite work pants last minute, and with lovely conversation to boot <3

Great work! Detailed lace trim work to make a custom curtain for my Victorian front door. Satisfied customer!

I am shocked there are so many positive reviews. I went there and the house is dirty. While trying on the dress I noticed pee stains on the ground and there was dog poop in the corner. 2 weeks after drop off I went to pick up my dress and she forgot to hem it so I had to come back the next day. My dress smells like incense and the stitching she did on the top looks horrible. I also can't believe for my one layer long summer dress she wanted $80.

Just got back fiancee's wedding dress and it was STAINED in multiple locations. Kathleen has been unresponsive to what the stain was and how it got there. Wedding was 2 weeks out when we got the dress back, had to take it to cleaner and it cost us an additional $120 to clean the dress... Here is to hoping the cleaner can get the stain out... UPDATE: Kathleen responded and refunded us the cost of the cleaning. The altering of the dress and the shirt that Kathleen did was great and we are hopeful the stains come out. We are also glad Kathleen was able to refund the cost of the cleaning.

Kathleen took 8 months to do a alteration and I became busy with work and unable to pick up my sweater. I have been trying to get in touch with her now for about a month and half and have not heard back. This sweater belonged to my dad and he has passed away. I just want to pay for my sweater and get it back,. It is all I have of him.

Warning: Never Hire This Woman Kathleen agreed to complete three separate tasks for my daughter's wedding on Aug. 4: 1) collaborate with me in sewing a Temple dress 2) Alter my daughter’s wedding dress 3)Provide alterations for my personal wedding attire. None of these projects came to fruition. My daughter’s wedding is in one week. Last week, Kathleen disclosed that she had “lost” the temple dress that I delivered to her in early March. This necessitated my purchasing new fabric, and resewing the dress this past weekend. I also relieved her of the responsibility of my own dress which she had not yet touched. This left Kathleen with only the responsibility of the wedding dress. My daughter lives out of state. In May, she traveled to Denver for an initial fitting with Kathleen. Kathleen envisioned alterations far in excess of what I had anticipated. Reluctantly, I allowed her to dismantle the dress, and purchased $200.00 of replacement lace. In June, Kathleen requested a second fitting, and I flew my daughter to Denver. An hour before our appointment, I received a text stating that she had to accompany a friend to the hospital. Instead of a dress fitting, she would show Melody a “mock up” of her dress. When we arrived, we discovered that she had hastily sewn the skirt of the dress to a ribbon. However, Kathleen still insisted the dress would be ready for my daughter’s bridals on July 14th. Unconvinced, I made myself available to sew alongside of Kathleen on two occasions. Her excuses for lack of progress (documented through texts) included pneumonia, emergency dental surgery, a furious mother of a bride, a friend’s supposed heart attack; a second bout of pneumonia... With each “emergency”, she postponed the time she had reserved to sew for me. Kathleen scheduled a “semi-final fitting” for the dress on July 14, the day of my daughters’ bridals. When we arrived, the dress was in pieces. Kathleen told us to attend the bridal shower, and the dress would be complete at 4:00. During the shower, I received a text stating that Kathleen had fallen asleep, but the dress would be complete by 5:30. When we arrived at Kathleen’s, we were shocked by her shoddy work. See attached pictures. The skirt was also untouched, with alteration markings all over it. Kathleen suggested she could lend me large safety pins to pin it on for the photo shoot. Of course, the photo shoot had to be canceled. Kathleen brazenly told me, “Put things in perspective. Melody’s wedding is simply an event.” On July 18, Kathleen informed me that she could not work on the dress again until July 28. On July 21, she had an epiphany. She tearfully apologized, admitting to having abused narcotics for months. She begged for forgiveness, and again vowed to finish the dress. Kathleen now insists that the dress will be ready for pick up on Saturday July 28. Minimal work has been done. Kathleen has gone silent and failed to give the promised nightly updates on her progress. Update: Although Kathleen vowed to have the original dress finished and ready for pickup on the Saturday July 28, she texted me on the 27th to say she needed more time and would deliver the dress to me when completed. I replied that I had proactively purchased a completely new dress on July 26th. She apologized to me again and offered to finish the dress after the wedding! I assured her that Melody did not need a second wedding dress. Kathleen then offered me $200.00 in restitution to be paid at some unspecified date when she had the money. I explained that after the cost of purchasing the initial dress, airplane tickets for unprepared fittings, missed bridals, new lace, and replacement fabric to remake the “lost” dress etc., restitution needed to be $2,200. I offered the option of signing a notarized promissory note with payments. She declined my offer and said that she would prefer to go to court. We celebrated my daughter’s wedding this weekend. It was beautiful, no thanks to Kathleen.

Made a great Halloween suit for me, good price too! I provided insane crazy printed fabric and 3 piece suit was great. From other reviews, I'd say bride zilla is a real thing. Why anyone marries these crazy ladies is beyond me.

Kathleen did a wonderful job altering however, I received my wedding dress back with a STAIN right in the center of it. When confronting Kathleen, she brushed it off and said she could get it out. It was already faint enough, it looked like she had already tried to remove it. She returned the dress and in dim light it looked like the stain was gone. When returning home and checking in natural light the stain is still there. Very faint but dead center in the dress. After going back and forth Kathleen agreed to pick up the cleaning bill. It was important to her to make sure I was satisfied.

Kathleen made a custom pair of jeans to fit my husband on stilts for a brawny man costume. They turned great and the quality is awesome. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a seamstress!

I took my dress in two weeks ago to have the cups redone or taken out and my dress hemmed for my sisters wedding and it came out perfectly. The length is ideal and the cups were removed and seamed back up great :)

I have had many alterations with this seamstress. I have also had many repairs done there also to clothes I did not want to part with but thought ready for the garbage. She is a miracle worker! I was very surprised to see a long rant from a disgruntled client. Kathleen has always done a stellar job, and has never let me down. I highly recommend her!
