I can't speak highly enough of the owner's expertise and customer service. She is beyond experienced - hearing her rapidly doing calculations off the top of her head after just looking at a garment is really impressive. She did a rush job on a long dress for me with what turned out to be a tricky fabric/seam.I also appreciate how good of a listener she is when it comes to how you want a garment to fit - I never felt dumb asking about any of my requests and as far as I'm concerned she can work magic.

Loreen and the Sew Biz team do phenomenal work! Super professional, great honest advice re alterations, they worked magic on three pairs of pants that all needed different alterations. Timely (considering they do a good bit of business), very reasonable/competitive prices and great, highly-skilled work. So glad to have found such experts, thank you!

Excellent tailoring and seamstress work.I always need my slacks or jeans cut and hemmed. And I like the professional look. Sew Biz will be in my future. Professional and very nice staff, too.

Had a complicated pair of pants to take in, and the owner gave a great suggestion on how to go about it. Well priced, timely, and excellent work! Thank you!

Literal miracleworkers. I am maid of honor for an upcoming wedding this month. I am definietely someone who does plan in advance: I bought the dress earlier this year and even had it altered shortly thereafter.After a cross country move and a few life changes, I found that the dress needed a few last minute alterations for the big day. I immediately called Sew Biz, and was given reassurance that my dress would be ready within a week and ready for my flight out to the ceremony.My seamstress was professional, kind, so accomodating and worked with me to ensure my dress would fit properly in view of the changes and I now can say that my tailor of choice will be Sew Biz as a MSP resident. :)

I came here after my favorite downtown tailor passed away (may she rest in peace) during COVID. I had a few small alterations that they did day ofTheir prices are very competitive so it's great value service and it's quick too. The couple who owns the place is so nice and they're happy to work with you on any questions or concerns you have.I also come here if I have any measurement or tailoring questions, they're super helpful and happy to help.If you need any tailoring and you're downtown this is place to go! I highly recommend.

Won’t take my clothing anywhere else in the Twin Cities. Lorraine and her husband are exceptionally talented, and I hope they continue doing alterations for as long as I live here.Alterations I’ve had done, each of which has been flawless: taking in side seams (including seams of thick sweaters), tapering suiting legs, slimming sleeves, reconstructing the waist of a knit dress, removing the sleeves from a merino sweater.Services: General repairs

Had my husband's pants hemmed here before our wedding and a few nips and tucks to his suit. They were very easy to work with and very affordable as well. The alterations were done in a reasonable time as well.

Laurine is a master craftsperson. She is very talented and seemingly passionate about every aspect of the art from tailoring to fashion to promoting eco-consciousness. I’ve been elated with her alterations to trousers, gowns, and dresses as well as with custom projects she’s taken on. Trust her with your life!Services: General repairs

She added new elastic to the waist of two pairs of pants and they turned out great! I like that this place is locally owned and that the owner is clearly very knowledgeable about her craft. She explained things well and was nicely accommodating. (I called after my fitting but before my pick up about bringing in the measurement 1/2 an inch since my waist fluctuates and that really worked well.) Typical alterations range between 16 to 30 dollars with more elaborate things like dresses costing more, which all together I think is totally fair for the skill and quality service.

Zipper on my coat was down bad, but Sew Biz had it up quick! They were helpful and very good at setting expectations. You can tell that they really want to make their customers happy by going the extra mile. Best tailor in town! I will go back to them when my zipper wears out again. Sheesh.
