Mel is great at what she does, an expert. She is super fun to talk to and always honest about what can or cannot be done to a specific item. She's been my "sewing " lady for a long time. I would trust her with all my things

This shop is an amazing gem in Iowa City. Mel is VERY good at what she does. I grew up with my mother making/altering all of my clothes. I felt just as comfortable with her as I did with my mother for so many years. Did a WONDERFUL job on a dress removing the train and a full Hem. 10 out of 10!
