I have several pieces (mine and my husband's) that need altering and would like to find a reliable seamstress in south Walton. Does anyone have a suggestion?
THANKS!

Doesnt' the French Laundry do that?
Mrs. Ellis behind Cocoon's on 30A used to do alterations but I don't know if she still takes jobs. If you don't find someone in So Walton I have a wonderful lady next to the Publix on Hutchinson Blvd(Middle Beach Rd) in Panama City Beach. She's very reasonable and accomplished.
Yes, French Laundry took in some slacks for me and did a great job.
I'm sorry to say this because I am very pro-local businesses and really like Gwen a lot also...
Mr. Clean had some alterations there and they weren't so good. His tushie seam was wobbly and curvy on 3 out of 4 pairs. I'm not sure if it's the specific seamstress (and I don't know who it was) but the pants were unwearable. Mind you, that he is tall & very slim (gets mad if I call him skinny), and that might have been an issue.
We are still in search of a local place he'll trust with his pants now.
I've heard good things about Van Cam in Destin.
We need a good non-smoking Sowal seamstress or tailor!
SOMEONE has to have these skills - my alterations tend to involve scissors, duct tape, safety pins, or heavy duty basting!

Since "curvy" is the kindest way to describe my rear, that might explain why my results were good.
Get over your super-talented skinny self, Mr. C. ;-) <if someone called me skinny, I would kiss them>
I've been meaning to ask Ms. Ellis for for sewing and alteration assistance.
