I took an olive green Chico's (women's brand) top, cotton and cotton lace because I snagged (not broke) part of the lace on the back shoulder when I backed into a nail during a volunteer event at LCS. I took it to Rossy and she said she didn't think she could match the thread. I returned from US, with thread in hand. Instead of fixing the part that needed to be mended, she used bright purple thread to restitch part of the front bottom...that didn't need repair. I then took a few beige towels to her that had started to fray along one seam. She restitched...in a different color...leaving the fray showing. Took a bottom sheet to restitch the elastic. Again. stitched along the inside, not fixing the elastic. In my defense, it was two trips, not three (the sheet and towels were one trip.) But the second trip was it for me. Many people are pleased with her work; I was not one, unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeb Posted October 17, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2020 Did you wife express her dissatisfaction and asked for it to be corrected, and if so, what was the outcome? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LifeNo5 Posted October 18, 2020 Report Share Posted October 18, 2020 I have always appreciated her work. However, she is so busy, I am afraid I would be waiting forever for anything I took for an alteration. So, I try to do what I can myself.

TelsZ4 Posted October 18, 2020 Report Share Posted October 18, 2020 I think it might depend on how busy she is, overs the years I’ve taken several items to be altered, sometimes she does a good job but many times she doesn’t. I discovered a seamstress one street south of Rosie so I use her now, so far no complaints. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
