Sew-A-Lot 215 West Walnut Street, Carbondale, IL 62901

"The name of the business is misleading, because she didn't sew anything for me even though she had my clothes. Had them for months before I asked about them one day and she just gave them back and told me she couldn't work on them."

"Called about a jacket needing a zipper... already paid $45 up front and that was way over a month ago. Said zipper not in yet. I can get a zipper in two days!! Going to cancel my order and pick up my hoodie. If I could give less than a star I would!"

"Just talked to the lady on the phone, and she told me she couldn’t work on my dress. I offered to bring it in without expectation, but she told me it was impossible without even seeing it. I understand if she thought it was beyond her capability, but she was super dramatic. Reading some of the other reviews I think I dogged a bullet. Overall she was pretty rude and unprofessional."

"Needed a patch sowed on and it was complete in less than an hour. The prices are fair and the owner is very sweet and friendly. If I ever need anything fixed this is the first place I'll head to. Parking lot can be easy to miss but that is the only negative I can think of."

"Needed two pairs of pants hemmed. I was told it would be two weeks before she would have them done and she gave me a guaranteed date. This date was a Saturday and I was not around to pick them up then. I went in the following Monday and she still did not have them ready, she told me they would be ready by Wednesday, went back in on Wednesday and they still weren’t ready. She then told me to come back in at closing. I came back in then and they were still not done and I had to wait there twenty+ minutes for her to finish. Extremely unprofessional. I was understanding that sometimes dates run over but a call or some sort of reimbursement would be appreciated. I did not have this when I needed it because it took so long."
