    I had a beautiful dress that was just too tight! Katia did an amazing job and opened the seams and replaced the zipper. Her attention to detail is incredible and she was so kind! My experience was so much more than just an alteration, this was my dream graduation dress and she made it a reality!

    Sew What in St Paul is an excellent spot to get alterations done. Katia is incredible! I brought in work pants that I needed altered in several ways, including dropping the waist. She explored my options with me and was so kind in the process. This is my new go-to!

    I came to seamstress Katia with a two-piece outfit and the idea of turning it into a one-piece that would be more tailored to my body. I have to say, the result is perfect! It fits beautifully and turned out exactly how I imagined. I will definitely be back!
