Your beautiful business is a happy place for so many of us. I cannot thank you enough, Brenda

Kathy is always so helpful and patient when I'm making fabric selections and I always end up with just the right thing.As a quilter I'm eternally grateful to David for his ready advice and assistance in technical issues, especially as the issue is often with the user!

This is my ‘go to’ place for all my sewing supplies, never stuck for inspiration or advice with any of my projects and wouldn’t take my business anywhere else. Thank you ASC, long may you continue to support my addiction!

Kay Calder: Over the past six years I have purchased three new machines from Adelaide Sewing Centre and had them serviced there as well.

Lorilei Bowyer: Extremely happy with their help. I bought a second hand sewing machine from an op shop and took it to Janome Sewing centre to buy the missing power cable. They supplied one and tested the machine, to find it worked, but motor was compromised and would die any day. The gentleman explained he rather sell me one of their second hand models instead of the $60 power cable for a machine that would die soon from the op shop. Absolutely wonderful in finding me a budget machine, and the ladies were so wonderful to sit down and show me how to thread and use the features. Absolute angels! I really need to learn sewing machines for my job role so their help was an absolute gift. Note: avoid sewing machines from op shops if pieces missing. Come here instead. Charlie and his angels work here!

They are the most lovely, happy and kind people and nothing is too much trouble. I can't recommend them highly enough.

Danica Patselis: Many people recommended this place to me and I can vouch for the rave reviews. Outstanding service, with genuine care and help.

Megan Lloyd: and more recently the opposite. A favourite A-line skirt with an extremely high-waist was just no longer wearable. The Sewing Boutique magicians lowered the waist band, widened the skirt slightly and replaced the zip - and you can't even tell it has changed it all. Love, love, love it.

Julian Saliba: Excellent n very efficient!Great friendly service and prompt

Mark Mywords: Wonderful service from lovely ladies. It was a pleasure to visit this store. The service was excellent!Highly recommendedPositive Professionalism …

Jacqueline Powell: Addendum to review below. After the experience contact was made with Connie and the photos sent. Connie apologised,for what had occurred acknowledged the issues with the dress and offerred to remediae the issues. Connie at the time said when I was pessimistic re the sleaves being fixable that I would be amazed at what she could do with the dress, and was rightConnie did an amazing job on the sleeves which look lovely and fit perfectly look lovely and the sash is perfect. Thankyou so much!Despite the negative experience noted below, I would definitely recommend a business which "made good" and has the skills to be able to do that. The final photo although not doing justice to the how lovely it looks when worn, does show how the added band is in harmony with the sleeve very well done and gentle flow to its termination.Saturday 1 needed alterations to an expensive silk and embroidered tulle dress made to mmeasure for me in the US but needed some alterations to the bodice, sleeves and length so I looked for a special event dress maker.Pin up experience with Connie to take in bodice, lengthen sleeves keeping current sleeve width, take up hem, add stiffener to the sash so it sat without buckling and to hand sew the sash to dress somit would remain in place and left having faith a good job would be done. Arrangements made to pick up 9:30 the following Saturday.Saturday 2 return- hem okay, sleeve alterations pointing out in a V point like a pixie sleeve, sleeves were firm but just okay to dance in without riding up, sash not fixed to bodice and not noticeable stiffener. On taking the dress off noted the sash was higher than the other at the back zip edge and was told not to worry it would be fixed. When raised concern at job not done etc was told these things happen when we alter a ready made dress and required changes pinned for a second time. Noticed what looked like blackcurrand syrup or drink stains in the sash was told it was sewing machine oil. Someone must have been drinking whilst working on the dress. Asked for sleeves to not be further tightened as it would restrict movement and the sleeves would be too tight and ride up. Arrangements made to pick up following sat at 9:30. Friday night SMS received after 5 asking to come in at 1130am instead of 930.Saturday 3- arrived at 1130 and noted the dress was lying crumpled with part hanging over the end of a sewing table. It was surprising to see the dress left in that way. On being served the assistant advised she would get the dress and asked about trying on. As there was a plan to have a silk dress made, materials available were checked out while waiting. The assistant returned respectfully carrying the dress and advised they had been trying to make contact to request coming in during the week. Advice provided this was not possible and would mean Thursday night or Saturday which would be difficult. Noted the sash was stain free and commented they were gone and was advised they had been removed for you by the person working on the dress. Asked "what if it is not fixed" and was advised it will all be allright. Faith was now lost. Concern raised re three weeks for alterations and received the same comment about this happens when altering a ready made dress. On try on, the bodice facings has been fixed. The sleeves and sash were not done. Was advised this was because there were no pins and safety pins should have been used.Raised the same issues nd reaffirmed that that the sleeves could not be sewn as tight as re-pinned as they were too tight, would ride up and demonstrated same. Was told it would be allright. I left quickly close to tears and stressed. On ringing to change the day advice received it would be ready that afternoon. On try on, the sleeves were so tight they were digging in, sash uneven and unwearable.Upset I quickly made to leave and as walking past the counter was advise the bell was awaited and if the dress was fixed, "yes it is fixed and after a stressful day" and kept walking.

dianne miles: They were fab and the male fitter just got it all and offered me the most positive advice. Couldn't ask for a more professional person.

Wilson Petrushnko: to buy zippers and weren't sure if the job was do-able.It was by chance I googled Chapel Sewing.When I went into store, they had a zipper long enough
