Does anyone have a seamstress that they recommend? My wife and I have a cherished blanket and other mending needs. Thanks in advance.

Island Lake Cleaners (by Culvers and the Post Office). She is outstanding! I take everything to her. You would never know the jeans or other pants were hemmed. Zipper replacement on clothing and coats and other clothing repair she does is perfect!

I'm not sure what of all she does but I'd like to recommend Donna Wehrheim Baseley.

Maria's Alterations 815-385-8333 in McHenry across from West High School. I've sent all the brides I've stood up for to her and she does all my bridesmaids gowns. She's very talented and very reasonably priced...most importantly, she's impressively fast as well. She can do alterations in just a few days.

I'm looking for a seamstress to alter a bridesmaids dress. I tried one dry-cleaning place and they couldn't give me an estimate which scared me so I thought I'd try...
