Luisa and her staff did a fantastic job remaking a bed skirt to fit our adjustable beds. We recently bought two Leggett and Platt adjustable twin beds with lumbar support, but we could not find a ready-made bed skirt for them that would work with these particular beds. The ready-mades were either not the right fabric, or height or width or would not allow for the lumbar support mechanism. After finding Custom Sewing by Luisa on Google, we were able to buy two ready-made 18- inch matelassé skirts which Luisa and her staff altered to make them narrower and added buttonholes for the metal supports at the foot of each bed and plackets to allow the lumbar support to raise and lower through the center of the platform on each bed skirt. Doing this saved us a “bundle” that fabric stores would have charged to make custom skirts for us. Luisa is very professional; she returns calls and emails quickly and provides excellent customer service. We especially like that we can talk to her directly about the specifics of what we need rather than having to explain it to a salesperson who then passes the details along to a workroom. We are so satisfied with the result of our bed skirt project that we are already scheduled for our next two projects with Luisa.
I was so lucky to find Luisa. She did a fantastic job altering drapes to fit my windows. She also made a beautiful bolster pillow and bed scarf from the extra fabric. Work is top quality and reasonable prices. I would not hesitate to call her for any sewing needs in the future.Thanks Luisa!Tina Walsh
This woman is AMAZING!! She updated 2 bedrooms, living room, dining room, and kitchen and everything is perfect! We had her cover 4 cornices for our master bedroom, a king headboard, make matching pillows for the bed and make a matching dust ruffle for a split king temperpedic bed. She came up with a plan to make slits where the foot wire holder for the bed exists and created a Velcro panel, so we could slip the dust ruffle over the wire holders and it lays perfectly! The accent pillows that she created were beautiful, with an artistic flair!! She is honest, very reasonable, does exceptional work and is a delight to deal with!!! I would recommend this business to anyone with sewing needs!!!
Had a custom pillow created out of a shirt, and also another alteration for a stuffed animal that were both gifts for loved ones. Both items were finished done perfectly and in good time!
Sewing by LuisaSewing by Luisa was recommended to me by trusted family friends. Although the company is called “Sewing” by Luisa, the services provided are much, much more than just sewing.Luisa re-upholstered two favorite chairs and ottomans for us. The transformation was amazing! Luisa provided beautiful, consistent workmanship with attention to detail on all four pieces. This is fine upholstery work and we are very happy with our “new” furniture!Note that Luisa also makes furniture slipcovers and she offers sewing services, too!We highly recommend this cheerful shop at 1612 N East St, Sarasota, FL.
Luisa did an outstanding job on our custom bedspread, pillow shams and table runner. We found her to be easy to work with, very responsive and an excellent seamstress. We have confidence in her work and will be recommending her to others.
Wonderful. Brought in a Raw Zoot Suit to be sized for my upcoming wedding. Fantastic! Great service. Great prices. Lovely people
We are so very pleased we were given Luisa name and number. We had four outdoor cushions we needed recovered and Luisa not only did them beautifully but very quickly and less expensive than anywhere else we found. We would recommend her highly to anyone. Thank you Luisa
Great work on alterations and very pleasant team of people.
I found her shop by googling upholstery. I have a La-Z-Boy recliner that had a hole in the seat and their repairman could not fix it. I found fabric that matched my new couch and chair and thought it would make great pillows, arm covers, and a seat covering. Luisa repaired the chair so well that you couldn’t tell where the hole had been! I described to her what I wanted and she took the measurements. I was absolutely thrilled with the outcome!! I got EXACTLY what I asked for! Such TOP QUALITY work!! I would not hesitate to use her again. She has a tremendous selection of fabrics in her store to choose from! My friends think it looks fabulous! I was hoping to post pictures but don’t see that option.
They do great work at a fair price. Highly recommend you give them a shot.
I would never go anywhere else. Immaculate facility. Excellent craftsmanship. Luisa is wonderful kind and she finished my 4 chairs within the time promised! Quick and perfect!!
I needed some lounge chair covers replaced. Based on their good reviews, I chose Custom Sewing by Luisa. They were friendly, helpful and upfront about their timing (closing for the holidays). They looked busy, were knowledgeable and seemed to trust and work together as a team. They gave me an estimate of how much material I would need to complete the job (assuming a solid color). I brought them the material that afternoon (I bought extra because it was striped) and left them the “old” cover to use as a pattern. And I asked if there was enough, I’d like two lumbar cushions in the same sunbrella material. The next day they called to confirm the direction of the stripe. And they delivered the cushion covers two days early - with the lumbar pillows! AND with more than 5 yards of material left over (which is the amount I overbought from their estimate to handle the stripes). The Workmanship was superb! The patterns were matched perfectly! The piping was straight and uniform. The zippers were heavy duty for outside and there were NO stray strings! My Mom was an expert seamstress, so I know what to look for! These women were very very good. Clearly, they took pride in doing a job well and complete.The pricing was fair, especially for the quality produced. I will be back with many more projects for them! I own two cottages that desperately need new window treatments!A Gem!!!
Not only did this shop do excellent work, when I used them, they under-promised and over-delivered! I thought my drapes werent going to be ready until after Christmas due to their heavy work load. Not only were they ready before, I got them in plenty of time to have them up prior to my party! I would recommend Luisas to the most particular customers! They are now my go-to shop when I need alterations or upholstery done.
I have used Luisas business on several occasions over the past few months. And with every job, Custom Sewing by Luisa has exceeded all of my expectations. If youre looking for custom drapes, recovering cushions, or furniture re upholstery, I highly recommend Luisa.
Custom Drapes, wedding dresses, she does everything.
God service
