Welcome to So Sew Chic

Tucked away in an old warehouse, behind weathered brick and a nondescript door, is a studio where fabric quietly becomes something extraordinary. This is where a seamstress works by hand, shaping and altering garments with patience, precision, and imagination—known mostly by word of mouth, and treasured by those lucky enough to find her.

 

                    Located here

                    1657 S Getty Muskegon 

She works in front of the giant window, wrapped in natural light, stitching with steady hands and gentle focus. The studio is calm and welcoming, with everything in its place and room to breathe. Though she’s often deep in her work, she’s always happy to pause for a walk-in fitting, offering a friendly smile and thoughtful guidance. It’s a space where craftsmanship feels personal, unhurried, and comfortably familiar—like a place you’re meant to find.

If you happen to pass the old warehouse, don’t hesitate to step inside. Follow the quiet hum of creativity and the light in the window. This is the kind of place you seek out when you want something altered or made with care, and the kind of seamstress you’re glad you found.

 

If you’re someone who appreciates quiet craftsmanship and a personal touch, this little studio is worth seeking out.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to get my garment(s) back?

The turnaround time is normally a week.  The holiday season can see turnaround times extend to 2-3 weeks so plan ahead.  Formal wear and more complicated alterations may need more than one visit but that will be explained during the first fitting.  

Are you taking on custom projects?

Yes I am.  Dreaming of something unique, with a special functionality,  or that just fits ?   Let's talk and see if I can make it happen.  

Do you offer alterations for all types of clothing?

I work on all types of clothing, women and mens.  Work clothes, Formalwear, jeans to name a few.

At this time I do not work on Leather or Wedding dresses.  

What payments do you take?

Cash, Venmo and Apple Pay.  

What do I need to bring with me ?

Your garments, shoes and undergarments you will wear with garment. Why?  Shoes change your posture and undergarments can change the way your body is shaped and I check to make sure everything stays covered that needs to stay covered.  If you plan on changing shoe heights with pants,  bring them all so we can get the perfect length.  

How do I find you?

I am located in the My Space building at 1657 S Getty on the second floor.  As you come in the front doors, you can ask the Lobby receptionist for directions or if you've been here before come on up.  If you have a lot to carry, contact me when you get here and I will come down and help you.  Text 231-767-5985. 

What is the definition of Formalwear ?

Any item you would wear as a bridesmaid or wedding, prom and other school dances, gala etc.....  These garments are made from special fabrics that  require more time and skills to work with.  Chiffon, Satins, Sequins, Lace, are just few examples.  

Do you take appointments?

Starting in October 2025 I will be taking appointments from 4-6pm Monday, Tuesday and Thursday.  The building is closed after 4 so you will have to meet me at the side door to be let in.  

Contacting

As you might experience also, I get a lot of calls that are labeled "potential spam".  Please text me  or leave a voicemail and I will respond back to you.  I'm too busy to waste my time with spam calls.
