Designs & Alterations

Magic Needle Tailor Shop — Design & Alterations is the tailor shop right next to Jake’s Diner. It’s very easy to miss as I had to call and ask where they were after driving by it twice.
After learning that the other town tailor charges at least $ 5 more per item, I was off to the shop.
Celina is the proprietor and seems to make the alterations herself. The business is very relaxed. The ambiance feels like you’ve walked into someone’s home and you’re greeted and treated as such.
The work is great. I’ve had pockets fixed for $ 5, pants shortened for $ 10, and shirts tailored for $ 20. All were in rough condition before, and now they’re all fit to my specs. Clothes behind the counter spanned from kids dresses to adult jackets, so I think she is ready to handle anyone.
I would recommend those that can handle a relaxed business atmosphere to use Celina for alterations. She also speaks Portuguese, Spanish, and English — so chances are she can help you too.

EDIT: I went in to get two more pants hemmed, but they disappeared when i went to check two months later. I never got a call so i went in to see what was happening. turns out someone else picked them up, so now i have a con-​point.
CON: they are not a stickler for «you only get these clothes if you have the exact carbon copy receipt». this allows someone else to take your clothes without proof that it is theirs. the place is cash only, so there was no way for me to trace who paid for my pants.
Nice lady working there, but the fact remains my two pairs of pants disappeared from their store. Until those pants show up, I’m not going back for their service.
