I have been going to Lorri for several years now and always she does a fantastic job of repairs or alterations. This time she fixed a very worn jacket with sentimental value, replacing the braid tape trim, patching elbows, fixing seams and jacket looks great. She also repaired the seams in my favourite winter coat. Totally happy with her work, the service with Covid protocols and all done in a timely manner.

Lorri was recommended to me by family. I drove 80kms with 6 pairs of pricey summer shorts for alteration. Lorri pinned measured and told me a week for the work. Three days later the shorts were ready for pick-up.They fit perfectly, great value for money. The options are out there for alteration services. I will continue to drive 80kms to have Lorri do the work. GO, You will be happy with the outcome. I believe it is our job, the consumer, to provide honest reviews, promote and encourage (or discourage) others to use businesses in our communities. GO
