First, my apologies to the owner of this business Ms Maura for posting this review late. But, I never forgot about her, and never forgot how excellent a job she did. I used her business several times, and every time she went above and beyond . She is a very very professional, responsive, listens carefully to what her client wants. I definitely recommend her. This performance costume was made by her. I enjoyed wearing it during my concerts. She is the best of the best in Tallahassee, Fl !
Maura is the best of the best!! I reached out to her after she was recommended by the bridal shop I bought my wedding dress from. She handled my dress with the best of care. It was a little complicated because of lace and mesh, but she performed her magic and her alterations were absolutely beautiful. Shes also so kind and so enjoyable to talk to! I highly recommend any future brides entrusting their wedding dress alterations to Maura.
Maura did amazing work on my daughter’s wedding dress. It was purchased off-rack and was a few sizes too large so Maura essentially took the dress apart and put it back together. The end result was absolutely stunning. Maura’s prices were clearly displayed and she gave us an estimate upfront. I highly recommend her work.
Maura has been nothing but kind during my entire wedding dress alteration process! Happily working around my work schedule and diligently taking measurements for the perfect alteration. I couldn’t be happier with my dress or my experience!! Thanks, Maura!!
Maura saved my daughter and I on several occasions- her work was beautiful and our outfits were hemmed and altered to perfection!! Can’t say enough good things about her!! A couple of the dresses were for wedding parties and were complicated and a lot of working with tulle and fragile fabrics -
Maura is EXCELLENT! She was busy and still took the time to alter my dress. I will return exclusively to Maura for all of my future alteration/sewing needs.
My experience was terrific (men’s suit alterations). Great attention to detail, extraordinarily attentive, and very kind. Highly recommend.
Maura is my hero. I took my dress to get the bustle and straps redone for my dress. I would post pictures but I had to postpone my wedding due to covid concerns. Maura is wonderful to work with and she nailed it. The straps of my dress were just the way I imagined them to be. Originally they were beaded spaghetti strap and I was not a fan. Maura was able to create a lace strap that was much more elegant than before. Also, she got my dress back to me in a WEEK. This woman is a superhero. You cant convince me otherwise.
Maura did an amazing job on my wedding dress! I asked her to make a deeper V for the back of my lace dress and it was done beautifully and still preserved the intricate nature of it. She also hemmed it to exactly where I wanted it and added a bustle. She got my dress done in plenty of time and I felt absolutely gorgeous for my wedding! I would totally recommend her to anyone looking for alterations!
I needed work slacks hemmed ASAP and Maura took them without hesitation. I got them back the same day and they are perfect! She is so sweet and did a fantastic job!
I received my wedding dress a little later than planned and I felt like with the minimal time I had to get my dress altered it just wasn’t going to happen. I called Maura and she got me in ASAP! She was very patient and had the alterations complete in 2 weeks! Very reasonably priced and my dress fits perfectly! I’m very happy with my experience and would come back again :)
I chose Maura to do alterations for my wedding dress. She did not disappoint! I felt like I was in good hands and she made sure to have it finished in plenty of time.
Maura was absolutely wonderful! My bridesmaids dress arrived very last minute and was too small when it came... I was so worried!!! Maura not only made my dress fit perfectly, she was also very fast and professional! Highly recommend.
She went above and beyond for me and my wedding dress. She did exactly what I had in mind for the bottom of my dress and even recommending changing something on the top of my dress that I would have never thought of. It made a huge difference to the overall appearance! I am so glad I trusted her with my dress. She is so sweet too, which made the process that much more enjoyable. So pleased!
She was very kind and professional! She finished my bridesmaid dress in just two weeks and the quality is great. I will definitely be using her services again for any future alterations!
Maura has done my wedding dress along with other items. For my maternity shoot my dress arrived late and I needed it altered the day of with only a few hours to spare. Maura got it done and it was such a blessing! I’ve gotten to the point where I don’t even try my clothes on in store. I know they will be perfect. Plus, she’s an extremely kind woman. Highly recommend her.
Maura is really great seamstress. She tailored my wedding dress to perfection and Is very patient and meticulous. I also recently ordered two masks from her for COVID-19 and they are comfortable and fit well. Thank you Maura!
Maura did an excellent job on my wedding gown alterations. My dress was probably a size or two bigger than I really should have gotten, but she was able to take in the sides so beautifully that no one would have ever known. She also redid the hem to a perfect length for walking and added a bustle that looked great and was easy for my bridesmaid to tie up. In addition, scheduling fittings was an easy process. She was very accommodating of my schedule, and I found her to be a very kind and easy to talk to person. Overall, I had a very pleasant experience working with Maura and highly recommend her!
Maura was so awesome to work with. My best friend is getting married and I had to get my bridesmaid dress purchased and altered from 5 hours away. Maura was able to see me the same day I called. It was such an easy process and she had the dress taken in at the sides, hemmed, and the sleeves taken in before the date she gave me for the project to be completed. She quoted me a price and called to verify if the price was to change and why. The dress fit beautifully and my best friend is so pleased with how it turned out. Thank you again!
Maura did a wonderful job with my dress alterations and made masks using the extra fabric. She is delightful to work with.
Mara was so kind and knowledgeable. She was quick and efficient and tailor fitted my wedding gown, even adding lace to the train, exactly how I wanted. She also steamed my gown for me so it was ready to go for my wedding. Would definitely recommend her to everyone!
Maura is so sweet and kind, plus my wedding dress is PERFECT!!! Highly recommend for anyone getting event alterations done!
Maura is awesome. Her small consultation fee is totally worth her imparting her knowledge and experience to her clientele. Undergarments make all the difference. is what she told me, and she was 100% CORRECT. Her demeanor is unassuming, non-judgmental, peaceful, and warm. And, since I suspect that a large percentage of her clientele is female, I think this is great.
Maura did a fantastic job on my wedding dress! I have a non-traditional style dress that I bought from Davids Bridal, but needed it taken in a little near the top and torso. I thought my dress was a goner after Davids Bridal altered it too tightly. I brought my dress to Maura and she was able to fix it with ease and so quickly! She is so kind and friendly to work with and was able to work me into her schedule on such short notice. Her pricing is great and affordable! I highly recommend Sewing Creations by Maura for any alteration need. She is experienced and clearly knows her craft.
Thank goodness we chose Maura for my daughter’s wedding gown alterations! It’s not easy to trust someone with alterations to a garment that is precious and expensive, but during the consultation, Maura showed her expertise and attention to detail. The end result showed her skill also, and my daughter looked perfect on her special day. Maura’s prices are reasonable and it was a pleasure working with her.
Maura is the very best theres hands down. Amazing work ethic, great communication and very efficient.As most men or its just me, I waited till last minute getting my wedding suit, (dont tell my wife) lol.Maura came to my rescue just a day before my wedding, took on the challenge full on and adjusted my wedding blazer in less than 24hrs, she even called me 3 hrs before agreed pick up time that my blazer was ready.It was adjusted so nice, a perfect fit and I went on to wed my wife looking so dapper than ever.Keep up the good work Maura, and to you and you and you, this is your best sewing and alterations place in town.
Maura took on my last minute request to add sleeves to my baby shower dress. She helped me brainstorm what would look best on me and work within our timeline and even completed the sleeves earlier than she originally projected. The sleeves turned out beautifully and Maura was such a lovely addition to my baby shower prep.
She didn’t help me put on my dress She didn’t seem like she knew what she was doing. After I asked her how much it was going to be she told me it was going to be over $500 or even more. She wouldn’t tell me a set price which I was iffy about. She charges $55 an hour which it was fine it’s just that she told me it was going to take her more than 10 hours but no set price. After I told her I wasn’t going to go with her because she didn’t have a set price for me she told me I owed her $25 for just a fitting which it was never mentioned when I was making my appointment with her I felt like that fee was very deceiving and it should’ve been mention before my appointment. Once I said it’s fine I’ll pay the $25 I gave her an American Express card she told me that she doesn’t take American Express and she was observing my wallet asking what was that card I told her it was another American Express card for my business then she said what about the target card I said it’s a target debit card it only works for target. Just the whole situation was weird I’m glad I didn’t go with her just know that if you make your appointment with her and you don’t go with her there’s a $25 fee I wish I would’ve read the reviews before I went. My mistake.
Maura has the sweetest and kindest spirit. What a pleasure to work with her! She was reccommended by the bridal salon where we purchased my daughters gown. And we are so glad they did! Maura was professional, competent, and confident. My daughter felt completely at ease leaving her dream dress with her. That matters! Maura has such great attention to detail and she made sure everything was just perfect along the way. Each visit she focused on a different area... bodice, hem, bustle. She even created custom cuffs with the leftover fabric from the hem! She offered her suggestions but always took the lead from my daughter to be sure she was absolutely comfortable with every decision before proceeding. It was clear that Maura takes great pride in her craft and that she truly cares for her clients. It was so refreshing working with her!In the end, the dress was absolutely perfect and fit like a glove! Thank you so much, Maura! God bless you!
Felt comfortable as soon as I walked in the door! Had Maura alter my wedding dress and it fit perfectly! I went back once for a fitting and then again to make sure the bustle was correct. That day she was able to make a couple adjustments and send me on my way! It was quick and Maura is a doll! Sweetest lady in the whole world! Highly suggest getting any item of clothing done here.
Our experience was absolutely amazing! We came home from work one day and saw that our dog had eaten part of my wifes teddy bear that she has had since the day she was born. My wife was very distressed by this and I was so relieved when I found Sewing Creations. Maura was very nice and understood the importance of this bear. She was able to repair the bear in just a few days (ahead of the timeline that she originally gave me). Now he is as good as new and its as if nothing happened! I cannot thank Maura enough for her help. She was fantastic and I would totally recommend her business.
I have gotten many alterations done over the years by Maura. She is a skilled seamstress. Recently she altered a bathing suit for me. Im very short and always find it difficult to get a bathing suit that fits me. Maura altered the suit and its perfect! You absolutely cannot tell that anything was done. Thank you Maura!
Maura is fantastic. She altered my wedding dress, she was super fast about it and it looked absolutely perfect.
Maura is amazing! She created 3 beautiful dresses for me that are absolutely perfect!!
I had a great experience. She was able to see me the same day that I called. She is very thorough and professional. I will use Maura for all my tailoring needs.
Creations by Maura is a great place to go for alterations. They do a great job with a smile and they are very timely. I have had two Excellent experiences so far!!
Maura was wonderful to work with! She worked on a bridesmaids dress for me and did a beautiful job on my wedding dress. She has a beautiful attention to detail and was able to take in my wedding dress without harming any of the eccentric beading and design. She is well worth the cost! You know youre getting what you paid for and you can definitely trust her to do an amazing job.
It was absolutely the best tailor experience not just in Tallahassee but anywhere. I had ordered an expensive Halloween onesie and she was an expert in both service and craft. The best hands down.
Maura is a good seamstress who does quick service if you need it and will do her best to accommodate you. Her prices for some services are higher than others in the market but she tells you how much per hour in advance and I respect that her work takes time. One of my pieces was a dress I got on clearance and the alteration costed more than the dress & I could have gone somewhere else or returned the dress but I chose to have her do it because I really wanted/needed the dress and she did an amazing job! She also gave me life and yoga tips when she heard my health struggles :) and I will be going back to her when I am in town.
Maura expertly executed the specific alterations of my wedding gown, which was full of sequins and beads. Her professional work made the dress comfortable, functional and original. She also saved the gown clippings to use in my bouquet. A fair price too. Great service – I highly recommend Maura!!
Maura was great! She did a fantastic job on my wedding dress and had it done in a timely manner. Highly recommend!
They were great! Came in with a bridesmaid dress a size too small. She found a way to enlarge it when there was just a tiny bit of fabric on each side at the seam!
Maura is thorough. She makes certain you are satisfied. I highly recommend her
Maura is always pleasant, does great work and had everything ready when promised. I have been using her for all of my alterations for years.
Maura was so sweet I would definitely recommend coming here fixing anything in a quick time and reasonable price
I’ll give her one star because she did hem my bridesmaid dress in good time and did a good job HOWEVER this lady is a con artist. She charged me almost $300 for alterations on a $180 dress. NEVER quoted me that price or gave me an estimate. She charges “by the hour” instead of per service performed therefore she makes her own rules. I felt trapped because i needed the dress to wear in my friends wedding but I swear if it were any other garment i would tell her to shove it. I hope this review discourages others from seeking her services and she learns from this. What goes around comes around!
Maura did a fantastic job with my wedding dress! We were under a tight timeline and she was able to do all alterations within a few weeks to meet my deadline. I will update this review with a photo after the ceremony!
Maura did an amazing job hemming a bridesmaid dress, and a couple pairs of jeans for me. She got the length perfect, and the hems were an exact replica of the original! She’s officially my go-to from now on!!
Beautiful Work! I had some large lined curtain panels made. Maura did a lovely job, and they looked beautiful. If you want custom work done, shes the one wholl do it right. Dont wait until the last minute though-- she is very popular.
Great Service and quality work at a fair price!
I brought a suit from Amazon and the pants leg were wide. Maura tapered the legs perfectly to my liking. I will taking some more of my clothes to get altered!
Wonderful and so sweet! Her pricing is very fair and she’s very honest and knows what she’s doing!
Maura is so very kind and funny! She does what she can to make whatever is getting altered to perfection!
Took in several pairs of pants for Maura to hem. Unfortunately, they were all too short and Maura blamed me. When I called her to find out when I could bring them back in, she became belligerent and argumentative. The more she talked, the angrier she became, accusing me of missing multiple appointments, which I did not miss. Her prices are very high and she was going to charge me again to clean up a mess of her own making. I chose her initially because of her high rating; just goes to show that not everything that shines is gold. Rude and obnoxious. I will now return to my reliable 3-star alterationist.
Maura is a real sweet heart. She makes every attempt to get it right, and genuinely cares. She is also does leather alterations, which is a rarity! Ill be back! :-D
Great experience, timing and service! Highly recommend Ms. Maura!!
Just had some pants altered and Maura was very friendly and accommodated a short turnaround for me. Ill definitely be bringing her more business.
I would definitely recommend this business. You will get top quality work with someone who has years of experience!!!!! I honestly wouldnt trust my clothes to anyone else!!
She worked on a Pageant dress for my daughter last year and it came out wonderful I will be working with her again this year.
Awesome. Very professional work, reasonable pricing for the quality. Will definitely use for future needs
Maura did a wonderful job with my wedding gown alterations. She has great attention to detail and was able to execute exactly what I wanted for my gown.
I get all of my formal dresses altered by Maura! She does beautiful work and I know I can always count on her to make my dresses and clothing perfect.
Ive used Ms. Maura twice and have been pleased both times, she always welcomes you with a warm smile. Her work is very professional, I most definitely recommend her and will be using her again!!!!!!!!!
Friendly and professional service with flawless results. Reasonably priced and worth every penny.
Altered a bridesmaid dress for me. Great work and it fit great!
Excellent quality of work!!! Prices are reasonably for the time and quality spent on each garment, excellent!
I would not recommend this place to anybody. I had 4 items to be altered, but owner said she did not have time for me because she was working on a bridal gown. She did not even offer to make me an appointment at a later time in the week. Rude, unprofessional, and poor social skills to say the least...
She work very good
Very reasonable price and quality.
Always excellent and professional results!
Had two pairs of slacks that I was unable to wear as I had lost some weight and Maura had me put them on and in a jiffy she made notations and then when I picked them up, I couldnt even see any stitches and they feel so much better - thanks Maura- if you have any clothes that dont fit right - bring them to Maura!!
