Lynn has helped me on numerous occasions. She recently hemmed my bridesmaids dress for my sister wedding. that turned out perfect. And her most Memorable work was on my daughters christening gown that she recreated from my 36 year old christening gown and my lace wedding dress. It was beautiful and so special to repurpose for a special occasion! She also customized my husbands baby bonnet from his to be a little more frilly/lace and turned out adorable! She even added in a little bib! Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a seamstress!

Being new to the area. I found this business open for another hour. Drivinv by. I see what looks like the owner going in. I get out to walk in about a foot of snow because it hadnt been shoveled.. I knock. Owner I guess opens the door. Without a mask on and rudely says we are closed. I let her know website says 6pm. She wanted zero ineraction with me. I explained. All I needed was a quick sew down the side of the shirt.. She makes a face and lets me know shes open tomorrow.. I ask what time. Barks 10am.
Anytime after 10 and pi k it up on Tuesday.. I walked thru a foot of snow. To find a rude

Unbelievable! My only child passed away couple years ago and always wanted a sibling. This year I was blessed with a second chance. I dropped off my daughters favorite tops to make into a quilt for her new baby sister 6months prior to her arrival. The owner/business is so unprofessional. After 3 months they have not started anything and couldnt have the decency to call with any type of updates. When i called the lady says she didnt even know if it could be done in another 2 months time. I called several times afterwards to confirm a cancellation BUT the owner never picks up. Such a terrible business

Owner was very professional, friendly and adjusted times to account for our scheduled wedding. Very great alterations on all brides dresses and wedding dress, and mother of bride dress. Reasonable prices. I recommend this seamstress percent.

I found Lynn after visiting many tailors who refused to help my bridesmaids with their gowns. My wedding date was 06/07/2019. Based off her website, and her many years of experience, I felt she'd be able to guide me in how to work with my girls dresses. She was immediately helpful, I could tell she knew her stuff, and she immediately put me at ease. I was in her shop many times before the wedding...between fittings, and picking up gowns, and I have got to see her consult with many clients. All who's garments were different, and people of all shapes and sizes. She really knows her fabrics, and can
