She never disappoints!!I needed my bridesmaid dress altered for a wedding I was in. I’m no expert, but I knew that hemming my dress takes a lot of time, but more importantly, skill. I went straight to Brick City Stitch because I knew Rashidah had the skills to make this happen! Being quite short, there was quite a bit of material that needed to be altered. My dress also had horse hair at the bottom with very fine stitching. I didn’t give Rashidah much time, but she diligently worked to meet my deadline. When I tried on my dress, the length was perfect! I absolutely loved how the dress fit me overall. She even attached plastic guards on the straps of my dress so that they would not fall off my shoulders! I appreciated how she handled my dress with care.

Brick City Stitch is such a gem. Rashidah Nelson is patient, highly skilled, and has a way of teaching that feels both empowering and fun. The studio is quaint but roomy, the vibe is calm and creative, and the class moved at a perfect pace. I walked out with new skills and a finished project I’m excited about. If you’re curious about sewing or looking for a creative space that’s also community-centered, this is the spot.

Me and my cousin went here for some much-needed girl time and it definitely did not disappoint!!! Everything was on point. I actually made a wine holder which I didn’t even know I was going to be able to do and it actually came out beautiful! It was great laughter felt extremely comfortable everyone there had such a great time even made new friends!!! The owner so sweet, explained everything clearly to the point that I even made something that look like it’s worth buying; Her energy and her vibes was so energetic and warm I would definitely do it again. Definitely recommend!!! …⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I added five more stars myself because this place needed 10 stars instead of five

Brick City Stitch is a great place to perfect your craft. I was able to get specialized attention to the project I wanted to work on over the 4 weeks. I learned to to properly take in pants to get a tapered look, Hand sewing techniques, & how to draft a pattern from existing clothing. I've been putting all that into practice since. Coworkers ask me to fix pieces for them, I even created my own piece from an already existing jacket. Really hyped to do more with sewing. 🧵🪡 Thank you, Rashidah!
