User Rating: 5 out of 5 starsI had an alteration I needed done on a pair of men's slacks and Carla and her crack team of professionals accomplished this for a few measley dollars. A pair of guatamalan print pants added to my current wardrobe just by visiting Sew What...there right next to the Co-OP in Arcata...

User Rating: 1 out of 5 starsI brought in a specific bridesmaids dress online a little over a month before the wedding. The waist and hips fit perfect, but the bust was about 2.5 inches too tight. I took the dress to the local seamstress. The owner was very friendly and we discussed how she would alter it by taking a little length off the bottom and inserting small triangles under the armpits.
Even though I brought the dress to her well in advance (almost a full month before I needed it), she kept the dress until two days before I had to leave for the wedding. When i came to pick it up, she had inserted two triangles on either side of the zipper in the back (instead of the way we had agreed up earlier). It was an alarmingly obvious quick fix, but I didn't have to time argue (the wedding was just around the corner) and then she told me it would cost my $115. Never before that moment had she mentioned she would charge me $55 per hour.
I was shocked, but felt caught between a rock and a hard place. I felt violated by the cost of such shoddy work, but also had to have the dress for the wedding. After much debate (and seeing her "true colors"), she finally agreed to reimburse me $50. She told me she would put the check in mail. After a month and no sign of the check, I called her again. She said she would put the check in the mail the next day. I waited two weeks, and still no check. I called again after two weeks and she tells me that she has changed her mind. She refuses to reimburse me for the $50 we agreed upon. I an preparing to take her to small claims court.
