I was very pleased to find Carol, a skilled local seamstress, via her website. She was very punctual, very professional, very helpful and very nice. First, she carefully patched a 70-plus-year-old family "heirloom," a cotton vest my wife's late mother used to don while cooking homemade pasta and gravy for big family dinners. It was getting threadbare and Carol restored it to last another 70 years. She also used the vest as a pattern for a new cooking vest: my wife's own, sporting an embroidered, "Nonna" on it. Carol found a great fabric and my wife was beyond-suprised when I gave it to her. Now wife and daughter can be a “vested chefs" cooking team on future holidays, birthdays and celebrations.

Thank-you Carol for your fantastic embroidery for me. I wore the sweatshirt yesterday and my kids thought I was the coolest mom ever! The Mom towel looks terrific! And the wrap for my mom is perfect.

I brought some overstuffed pillows on special at Sam’s club. I thought they would flatten out like all other pillows, but they didn’t. They were just too high to sleep on comfortably. I had stopped using them, but then asked Carol if she could fix them. She was able to able to adjust the stuffing to my comfort level and sew them back like new.

Sew Special by Carol is extremely creative, reliable, and goes over and beyond expectations. I have used her services on several occasions for special gifts and all recipients have been blown away at the custom details that she is known for. For example, after staying at our friend’s ranch, I wanted to send them a special thank you gift for hosting my family, and Carol was able to take the logo of our friend’s ranch from a picture I took and she embroidered it onto kitchen towels. They were overwhelmed at the special gifts and treasure it greatly. We are all so thankful for Carol and her outstanding gifts and talents and never hesitate to contact her for special requests.

The dress Carol made for my daughter was exquisite!! My daughter designed her flower girl dress and Carol created it exactly the way it was envisioned. After 3 years, people are still talking about this “one-of-a-kind” dress.

I had an outdoor furniture set with three chairs and a sofa. The covers on the cushions were starting to look worn. I had problems replacing the cushions because the ones on the chairs were bigger than the ones on the sofa and I just couldn’t afford a new set at that time. Carol was able to take the cushions and custom make covers for all six cushions for so much less than it would have cost to replace just two of the cushions. I had a new look, with the design I chose, at a fraction of the cost. That was a few years ago. My daughter now has that set!
