MaryChris was wonderful! I needed 2 pairs of pants altered in a short time. One pair were chiffon lined for a wedding and another were knit type fabric for the reception. She came to me and measured. Took them with her and 4 days later they were ready. She brought them back to me. I wish I had before pictures of the pants before they were very long and now they’re perfect. She is responsive and answers all questions quickly and knowledgeably. She will be my go to for anything sewing or hemming. I will be happily forwarding her info to all my friends.

Details: Pants / shorts • Hemming / cuffing • Chiffon • Polyester / rayon • At the pro’s location • My home, venue, etc.

I accidentally bought the wrong size band T-shirt at a concert. They quickly resized it to fit me, made a high quality stitch, and didn't charge me a fortune for it.
