About
Hello! My name is Scarlet Prado and ever since I can remember I have been making clothes for my children. From pajama pants to bohemian dresses, my family has seen the evolution. Most of my work revolves around alterations and custom jobs, such as the one that I made for my daughter. I also do reupholstery for dining chairs to living room sofas. I am mostly self taught but have taken classes at my local fabric stores.
You can check out the Frida Kahlo doll that I made her on their Instagram page @travelingfrida
What I enjoy most about this work is making my clients dreams come true. Many of my custom crafts are things that my clients request, whether it be a bag or a doll. I can do just about anything, as long as my customer is happy! I began alterations when I saw that sometimes department stores just don't understand our bodies. Which is why I started by helping my children feel comfortable in their bodies and now I do the same for my clients.

Scarlet did a great job helping me modify a rug so it could be displayed as a wall hanging. She was very responsive, timely, and professional. I would definitely look to hire her for future projects.

I can't say enough about Scarlet's professionalism and flexibility! I needed a very specific stitch to finish blankets and was having a difficult time finding someone who could or would meet my request at a reasonable price. Although, I had to cancel my project. Scarlet from the beginning was responsive and easy to communicate with. You can tell that she does this work because she is an artist and loves to help people realize their design vision. Even though this project did not workout on my end- I will be using Scarlet for future projects!

Scarlet is EXCELLENT!! She reupholstered a family heirloom chair and ottoman and did a wonderful job. She even made a small throw pillow from left over fabric. Scarlet was professional, accommodating, flexible and thoughtful I will definitely contact her for future projects as well as clothing alterations, etc. Price was great, work was wonderful!!!

Allow me to set the scene. I own a very pretty lilac crocheted dress that I've had for years and I absolutely love it! One day a few months ago, out of sheer laziness, I decided to clean the dress in the washing machine instead of washing it out by hand as the instructions very plainly say. When I opened the door to the washer after the last cycle was complete, I pulled out the horribly mangled lilac mess you see pictured below. Needless to say, I was devastated. How could I have been so careless with my beloved dress?! With very little optimism, I searched the internet for someone who could repair crocheted items. I stumbled across the Thumbtack site and found Scarlett. Scarlett had one glowing review after another. It was apparent that she was a master at her craft. I didn't have a doubt in my mind those reviews were true. But given the condition of my dress, I didn't even think Scarlett had the ability to save it. In my mind, no one could fix that dress. It was impossible. But I still decided to give her a chance. I brought the dress to her, she looked it over. She indicated unhesitatingly that she could fix it. I, of course, was very doubtful but I appreciated her effort to try and fix my dress nonetheless. A couple months later, I hear from Scarlett. "Your dress is ready" she says. She explains that it took a little longer than usual to finish because she had a hard time finding the exact thread to match the rest of my dress. I made arrangements to pick up the dress. En route, I wonder how the dress will look but I have no expectations. Again, I'm just appreciative for her efforts to take on the seemingly (operative word) impossible task of salvaging my dress. As I walk into Scarlett's apartment, she goes to retrieve my dress. When she unfolds it and holds it up before me, I can not believe my eyes. MY DRESS LOOKS JUST AS IT DID THE DAY I BOUGHT IT!!! Scarlett had taken the mangled mess that I was certain could NEVER be repaired and transformed it back into the dress that I'd become so fond of! I know that my review is very long but I deemed it necessary to say all of this in order for people to fully understand just how completely AMAZING Scarlett is. All the reviews that praise her work - they're all true. Scarlett is phenomenal at what she does and I would recommend her in a heartbeat. I will definitely be using her again for my future alteration, sewing needs. In addition to being good at what she does, she is also very pleasant to deal with. By all means - enlist Scarlett for your alteration/sewing needs. I promise that you won't be sorry.

Scarlet is extremely kind and polite and did an awesome job altering my wedding dress. She honored all of my wishes while giving her opinion professionally on alterations instead of upcharging me, I can't recommend her highly enough.
