Very happy with all of my alterations done by Elena! She is friendly, affordable, and knows her work. I will definitely be stopping by this studio again, would recommend her to anyone!

Did a nice job shortening and cuffing my trousers. Replaced a zipper. All done for reasonable $.

Laura Cupach

The couple were very friendly and I had a gown hemmed. She was very quick with the job and it was professionally done.

Hailey Brown

She was very pleasant to work with. Made you feel very comfortable. Very affordable and reasonable prices. Will definitely go back for other things.

Adam Reynolds

Very nice people! It's a small business ran out of her home. She did a great job hemming my pants. I would recommend her to anyone needing alterations. I will definitely be back!

Lata Ojha

Nice and helpful lady

Elisabeth Black

So happy to have found this seamstress! Highly recommend. The job she did for me turned out flawless. I had a rush project and she completed everything in less than 24 hours to meet my deadline! Very reliable. Will continue to do business here.

Linda Tobel

Excellent workmanship. Speedy response. I look forward to more business.

Krystal Rockow

Hands down the perfect place to go get alterations! Such a cute home based business as well. Yelena makes you feel so comfortable and it was such a fast process for two dresses to be marked to hem and shorten. Very affordable prices too!!! Its a must go to!!!!

Stephanie DiDonato

Took me longer to get in my wedding dress than it did for her to tell me that she wouldn't even be excited for the job and I should look elsewhere! I found a great lady on Strongsville by Pat Catans so thanks for the great advice!

Conveniently located with wonderfully flexible hours. I've been driving by their shingle everyday for the last 4 years and when needing alternations for my daughters flower girl dress (and after reading their reviews) I though I would give it a try It was very easy to get in to have a fitting, I work late and had to come in in the evening which was not a problem. She didn't push a lot of unnecessary alterations, the work was completed nicely and was reasonably priced (at least from what I remember about getting my wedding dress altered). I don't typically need a lot of this type of work done but will return when I do

If you're in need of small alterations, or a full re-do of a garment, search no more. Yelena is an artisan and bona fide treasure! New to the area, I had to rely on my internet search (Google) to find someone who could re-sew a few buttons on my bulky leather coat. The buttons had become loose. Some had fallen off and were lost. It was an old coat, but a good one. Super warm and comfortable, so I didn't want to find a new one. Thrilled to find the Alteration Studio, located near my home. Called and Yelena said to come on by, giving me the price she'd charge per button to re-attach them. The Studio is very easy to find, a lighted shingle hangs by the driveway by the street. On this dark evening she knew I was coming, so she turned on all the lights so I could easily find my way. Her husband greeted me at the door to her studio. I brought the coat needing buttons, but also a business jacket a friend gave me, which I felt needed a few 'nips & tucks' to get it to fit. Yelena asked me to try it on, so she could see what changes the jacket needed. She took one look at me in the jacket and tactfully said something along the lines: I can alter it, but really it doesn't fit well to begin with. It's too big. If you have me do the work, I don't think you're going to be thrilled with the overall look. You need this jacket one size smaller. Wow! That is the kind of generous honesty we all hope for! Especially if we're going to be putting out our hard earned cash. She was so right! It was too big. So I left without having the jacket altered.. A few days later when I returned to pick up the coat, not only had Yelena replaced the buttons she'd charged for, but she went through the coat removing and tightening ALL the buttons. Plus, she'd moved buttons around (the replacement buttons were close, but not a perfect match to the originals). She had gone far above what I'd originally requested, and at the same price she'd quoted. Amazing! I couldn't be any more thrilled. When I arrived to pick up the coat I brought a pair of pants which had a wee bit of stitching which needed a quick pass of thread. I was going to leave them for her to stitch-up, but instead she stopped what she was doing, changed all the thread on her bobbins and made the wee patch while I waited. It doesn't get any better than this! If you're in need of alterations, from a simple button, all the way to a complete garment re-do, be sure to get a quote (and work) from Yelena. I promise, you and your clothing couldn't be in better hands.

Super nice people, speedy turnaround and reasonably priced. Would definitely go again

I did not end up using the business, but I took my wedding dress in to be altered and it was dog/cat hair all over the fitting room. It got all over me and my dress. You would think a aleration shop would be clean. Buyers aware.

Peggy Giammarco

Nope not again...too busy, all they had to do was tell me, never would have been a bother(never again either)]

walton simons

Ylena is the best! You are treated as family.

Big Guy

She is so good. I've been going to her for years. Love her and her husband. Not only does she work with fabrics but also works with leather. Fast and fair priced. I highly recommend them.

Irene S.

Excellent service, quality and price. Yelena is very friendly, fast and knows what she is doing. I'm very happy with the alterations I had done. I would recommend her to anyone. Thank you Yelena:)

Mike Sims

Tessa Tvorik

Wonderful experience. Yelena helped me on such short notice and produced incredible results. Can’t thank her enough!

R S

I was looking for an embroidery shop to customize my my apparel with my logo. Not only was I pleased with the outcome but they were so friendly & efficient! I highly recommend them to anyone looking for fast & affordable high quality work! I will recommend them to all my family & friends. Thanks again, Ruby

Brian Clark

Awsome work very affordable

Nicole Stevens

Amazing service!! I ordered my wedding dress online in a size that fit me in store but was so far off when it arrived, she made the back into a corset even over the lace backing and it came out even more beautiful than before it was altered! I will be going here forever!!

john q

Super friendly !

Erica Horne

I called to get just a rough estimate of how much it would cost to get a dress altered and to see if I could have it done by the end of the week and before I could finish describing what the dress was or what I needed done this woman interrupts me and says “No no no darling, no one will give you an estimate without seeing the dress” in the most condescending tone mind you. And I said “Well actually people have but they just couldn’t get it done by the end of the week which I am calling here” this woman LAUGHED at me then says “Oh really” and I told her that yes people actually in fact have and that she’s incredibly rude because not only did she interrupt me, but she talked down to me and laughed at me and then to top it all off she hung up on me in the middle of me talking. If that’s the first impression you give to people for inquiring about your business than I’m so glad that I didn’t bother going here and giving this business my money.

Gayle Bentkowski

Super fast, high quality repair. A pleasure to do business with. Highly recommended!

Very nice and friendly people. Did a great job with my clothing.

Khaylia Hill

Yelena let my first start by saying I absolutely LOVE this woman. One month before my wedding I tried on my wedding dress just to find out my butt grew and my dress would not zip AT ALL. I cried so hard because there’s no way I can buy a new dress after spending $1600 and it being so close to the wedding day. I took my dress to multiple alterations places and no one could fix it until I stumbled upon Strongsville alterations and embroidery which was no more than 5 minutes up the road from me. I remember Yelena telling me she is the “miracle worker” and that she is. She fixed my dress all in time for my wedding and it was ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL! When I say I cried tears of joy she was such a blessing and a life saver. She will forever be my go to. AMAZING service and an amazing person as well

Samantha Mencini

Yelena and her husband were amazing - so kind and caring! I had embroidery done and it turned out perfect

Bill M

So much better than using a store to alter a suit. Faster turnaround, better service, cheaper than the store and a convenient location. Just stay away from West 130th at rush hour! Nice people!

Amanda Burgo

Very beautiful setup. Soooooo nice, and prices are amazing!!!!

KJ Wilson

Yelena is really gifted at alterations. She customized a shirt that I bought to my exact size! I am really impressed with her and will use her again soon!! She also is very professional and has a sweet personality!!!!!!!

Reasonably price, good work.

Nirmeen Y Khanfar

Took in two of my shorts. They were way too large for me but after she altered them they fit beautifully. Really liked her and her work.

Susan Schroeder

Serge is an Ace as well! Needed a pair of paints hemmed in a hurry for a meeting so my husband stopped by without an appointment. He took care of it on the spot and saved me from having to buy a new pair of pants. VERY friendly and helpful!!
