Tracy's Sewing Studio
We have our own line of exciting and inspired fabrics especially for clothing and dresses. We will customize lessons to fit your experience and goals-from beginners to experienced seamstresses. What I didn't know when I set out to replicate this dress is that it was not from the 1960s. Yves St. Laurent designed this dress after Piet Mondrian's art work and debuted it at.

My name is Tracy McElfresh and I'm the owner of Tracy's Sewing Studio. We are a small independent business located in Kettering, Ohio specializing in clothing alterations, sewing repairs, custom creations, clothing replicas, costumes and group lessons for the beginner to the advanced. Since 2004 I have been making custom dresses for the public and teaching the art of sewing.
Need something altered to get that perfect fit? We do alterations with great integrity. Plus we have one of the quickest turn around times in town. Most alterations and sewing services are completed in one week from drop off date. Formal wear especially during wedding season (March-July and September-October) can take a longer.
Applique is simply the art of applying patches on to something new. I hope you enjoy the Mola's and African prints I applique onto large panels and how it's done. To see me current work. Do the work and get rewarded with my simple tips. To see more of my projects feel free to follow me on IG @tracysews FB @Tracy's Sewing Studio as well as my blog.
NOLA has a bunch of amazing fabric stores, including the last couture fabric shop in the south, Promenade. My blog as has taken a back seat after the newest Apple update crashed my computer. Apple was kind enough to wipe it clean and restore it to a 2014 update - and today I am writing you from my cell phone.

I needed a pair of pants altered quickly and she was able to squeeze me in. The pants fit perfectly and my daughter is thrilled. Thanks Tracey!

Tracy was incredibly responsive and professional. She did a beautiful job with my dress, which needed a hem, tact, and beads sewn back on. I would definitely recommend Tracy to anyone, and I will be back in the spring for repairs to my winter coat.

Tracy helped me with some much needed alterations. She communicated quickly via text. I went in for a fitting and she was very polite and fair- she told me pricing after assessing my garment with a fitting. My alterations were done in the timeline promised.

I recently had the pleasure of having a dress taken in by Tracy recently and it was an excellent experience. She was professional, easy to work with and absolutely lovely. I'll happily be back to utilize her years of experience and expertise. I'd highly recommend her to anyone.

Tracy altered my daughter's wedding dress and did an amazing job. She is also going to hand make her veil. She has been totally willing to work with our crazy!
The dress had a scalloped edge and she took the edge off, hemmed it and put the lace back on!!
She has a homey shop in Rosewood art center. Would definitely use again.

My girlfriend got her Columbia jacket tailored from Tracy and it fits her perfectly now. Good price and quicker than expected turn around. Will be back.

I found Tracy on Instagram and had her do alterations on a bridesmaid dress for an upcoming wedding . She is very personable and professional. She was upfront about pricing and explained where she would make the alterations clearly. She had my dress ready for me a week after my first appointment and everything is perfect. I will definitely be going to Tracy again in the future.
