    Ok the place I was using closed. I need affordable and quick alterations on several pairs of pants, a skirt, and if possible I need a jacket totally reworked -it's too BIG! i will be a good customer since I am 4'11".
    I don't mind someone who works out of home just need to be legit and good.

    Anybody?

    There is a place in Garner off 5th ave (I think) name Ho's tailer. I have taken several things to the in the past and never had a problem. Can't remember exactly, but I am sure the prices weren't bad. I haven't used them in maybe a year, so no recent experiance.

    Is that the one by the Arbys on hwy 70? If so, I have been there a few times. They were ok, but there were a few things that he did for me that did not impress me. A couple of friends of mine use them and raved about them. Maybe it is me...I might be too picky???

    I use Ho's and never had a problem with them, I think they're reasonably priced and they're usually fast!

    Yes, very close to the arby's. Maybe not you at all, maybe they has an off day or maybe a different person. To my knowledge it is a husband and wife.

    I have used the Cleaners behind McDonalds for alterations before and they did a good job. I had several pairs of pants and a linen dress hemmed there. I think they are a family owned business and the lady in there is the one that does them, she's really nice and has a big sewing room in there. Great prices too!

    I use Ho's all the time! He is fast and wonderful! $5.50 for a basic hem pant! Great work even on my 5 year old daughter clothes! She needs a 4T in the length and a 2T in the waist!!!! She he saves us a lot! I have used him for a lot of dresses too!:hurray::hurray:

    The place on 50 is Thrify Threads/Cusom Sew. Linda is the owner, and she's wonderful. Tell her I sent you 662-9590

    Yes, she is very sweet and was very nice, however I found her to be a little steep in the price department.
