Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: I not only know sewing and alterations, but I also teach it. Teaching requires not just knowledge but understanding. I believe that being a professional-level instructor has made me a better seamstress. I'm not only a seamstress but a designer too. This allows me to come up with creative solutions to sewing problems. I now also offer wedding gown preservation and cleaning. I enjoy working with people one on one. For this reason, I work by appointment only. I am also solution-oriented and enjoy the process of bringing full satisfaction with my service. Quite frankly, I like to "make pretty"! :-)

I felt confident in leaving my heirloom tapestry with her. She seems competent and professional, and she unabashedly loves her work.

Even though we starting really late I have to say she was well worth the wait. This it the 4th time I have received a request to review and while I would like to wait until the service is complete I am comfortable saying she is accommodating, knowledgeable and worth the wait. I am looking forward to our next appointment.

I would recommend her for sure. She was very professional. Her work was perfect. I had a difficult tailoring job and she was very detail oriented. I will be a return customer....totally worth it.

I do quite a bit of elaborate sewing myself, but when it comes to alterations, there is only one person I trust. Fatima has been my seamstress for nearly 10 years now. I wouldn't go to anyone else. When I purchased my wedding gown, the salon I purchased it from offered to do my alterations very cheaply. However, I wanted a very elaborate bustle and I was not going to trust such an important job to some stranger in the back room who has been sewing for God knows how long. I called Fatima and not only did she perfectly alter and bustle my gown, but she went above and beyond, color-coding the bustle ties so that it would be easier to do on the wedding day. I have been to 3 weddings where the brides' bustles all broke mid-reception. Not one tie on my bustle ever came loose on my wedding day. I cannot speak highly enough about the quality of her work as well as her work ethic. Not only that, but she makes alterations fun. When you hire Abishai for your sewing jobs, you're not just getting a seamstress, you're getting a friend.
