What Others Are Saying

Lorraine Felton – Universal City, Texas

I knew from Lisa’s reviews and her awesome website that she could handle any level of complex project that might come her way. In person she is warm and gracious, helpful and genuinely interested in her customer’s vision. What I appreciate most about my recent experience is her care and concern for my little project (a pillow less that $100) – and that speaks to her professional integrity and love of her craft. Exceptional service, outstanding quality, and beautiful textiles for your home – a perfect combination!

Heather Fork – Spicewood, Texas

The curtains are drop-dead gorgeous! I knew you would do a fantastic job, and they are just so exquisite! I love the weight of the finished product. My guests will enjoy a luxuriously appointed room, and also have the comfort of privacy and insulation from the elements. Thanks again for your expert care and attention. I will certainly refer anyone who needs something sewn!

Kay Childers – Alexandria, Virginia

Lisa! The pirate costume has arrived, and I am absolutely delighted! It is everything and more that I could have ever asked for! I wish I’d known you when both my children were small. I have struggled through Indian princess, angel, Alice-in-Wonderland, and many many more costumes. This particular costume is going to be repacked and sent to my son’s family (my son made his own costumes…usually out of cardboard boxes) in Kazakhstan where he is a lawyer for an oil company. This costume is for a beautiful little three year old girl who, for whatever reason, longs to dress up like a pirate “with an eye patch”. Thank you ever so much.

Lydia Schulz – New York, New York

Lisa – I was thrilled with your work- the bedskirt you made for my daughter’s crib was beautifully sewn and exactly met the specifications you and I discussed. The matching pillow was also perfectly done. I look forward to working with you again, and I will be sure to recommend your work to my friends!

Meanette Salgado, Horseshoe Bay, Texas

Lisa, Thank you, thank you, thank you for the wonderful job you did on the alteration on my bridesmaid dress. I will definitely use your services again in the near future. I’m going to recommend you to all my friends!

Susan Bigham – Dallas, Texas

The comforter that Lisa made for me was just fabulous. I was searching for a comforter with a nautical sailboat theme but could no longer find one. I asked Lisa if she could make a comforter with a sailboat and I showed her some pictures. She made the comforter with the sailboat that is shown on her website. I love it and of course my baby does too. It is hard to find such quality work nowadays. Thanks to Lisa.

Salazar Custom Interiors

As an interior decorator, I use a great deal of custom soft goods in my custom projects. From bedding to windows, I have used Lisa time and time again with excellent results. It gives me comfort to know I can be absolutely confident when I work with Lisa no matter what the task. Her work is flawless, well priced and as a bonus, her turnaround time is fantastic. She is a diamond!

Catherine Holden – Miami, Florida

Lisa, I love the duvet! It is even more beautiful than I imagined. The workmanship is incredible. It far surpasses anything that one could buy in a store. My favorite part of the duvet is the shirring. You did an incredible job. It looks better than the one on their website! You are exceedingly talented and I look forward to ordering more things for my bedroom. Thank you ever so much.

Dannette Wigen -Two Rivers, Wisconsin

We searched in stores and on the internet for the perfect dress for my daughter to wear in her Aunt’s wedding and we finally found it in the form of a pattern. So with the pattern, some material, and measurements over the phone, Lisa performed the miracle we were looking for over 2000 miles away. The dress fits her perfect, and the quality of Lisa’s work is outstanding! Thank you Lisa for making my 9 year old daughters dream of being a real princess come true!

Wendy S. Wirth – Spring Branch, Texas

Lisa LaChance was absolutely fabulous! She is wonderful person and does exceptional work. Lisa is very prompt and helpful when needing advice or assisting in decision making. My need was, taking existing curtains from another home and making them work where I currently live, which involved quite a lot and she did it with ease. I would recommend her highly for any of your sewing needs.

Patricia Helm/Jackie Rowlings – Corpus Christi, Texas

Some time ago, on behalf of my mother, I contacted Lisa for seven replacement pillow shams of various sizes. Her response was fast and courteous. Lisa’s estimate was professional, detailed and reasonably priced. We asked her to do the job and, well within her estimated time of completion, we received seven impeccably tailored pillow shams that fit like gloves on their respective pillow forms.

The key to why this job of seven simple pillow shams is so outstanding is that Lisa completed this job from almost 200 miles away, with nothing to go by but my amateur drawings and measurements accompanied by emails. The fabrics we had chosen are not easy ones to work with, nor are they forgiving, but Lisa’s seams, linings and hidden zippers were flawless. Over a year later, the shams are holding up beautifully.

If a cut above is what you’re looking for, this is your girl. THANK YOU, LISA!

Suzanne Perry – New Braunfels, Texas

We needed some custom drapes for a huge floor to ceiling window. We made an appointment to meet with Lisa, at which time we picked out our fabric and explained exactly what we wanted. She was so helpful and very professional. She explained everything told us when we could expect them to be done and installed. It ended up that they were done earlier than expected, which was great. She came personally with her team to install them and they too were very nice and professional. They look beautiful and we highly recommend Lisa and Something Sew Unique for all your window treatment needs. Her quality of work is impeccable!
