gringal Posted February 13, 2019 Report Share Posted February 13, 2019 I need a number of hems altered. Normally, I'd take them to the seamstress on 16 de Septiembre, but she has some health problems interfering with taking on work. I've taken work to Rosie on Ocampo in the past, but my own physical limitations don't allow climbing that step to enter her shop. Any other recommendations would be much appreciated. (I'd prefer close to Ajijic.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuphel Posted February 13, 2019 Report Share Posted February 13, 2019 There is a cleaners on the north (mountain) side of the carreterra, west Ajijic, who does a great job on simple alterations, hems, etc. I don't know the name of the cleaners, but they are just east of Casa de Waffle, on the hill going out of Ajijic. I've had pants hemmed for less than $100pesos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gringohombre Posted February 14, 2019 Report Share Posted February 14, 2019 By far the best is Rosario on Ocampo, north (mountain) side a block or so west of Colon. She has a laundry sewing place with an open front and she is always sitting right there behind her sewing machine. She made some window dressings for me years ago and I have always referred others who are all happy campers. Tell her Dennis sent you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ComputerGuy Posted February 14, 2019 Report Share Posted February 14, 2019 Why do you say that? Oh, I had to read to find out. The answer is NO. If you send an email with more than one paragraph, chances are pretty good anything after that will not be read, especially in business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gringal Posted February 14, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2019 Besides that, it seems that many times people only read the last entry and respond to that. So, for that category of readers, I'll repeat: Rosy does a great job and I've had work done by her in the past but now, I just can't make it up the step!🙃 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComputerGuy Posted February 14, 2019 Report Share Posted February 14, 2019 There are also those who simply repeat the same thing, to be heard as knowledgeable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arroyos Posted February 14, 2019 Report Share Posted February 14, 2019 There is also a lady in San Antonio, I believe 123 Colon, who does alterations. We have used her once and were satisfied with her work. Not expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gringal Posted February 15, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2019 Thanks to all for your suggestions. After one of your suggestions, I have decided to go to the Women' Coop around the corner from me on Monday and talk to the lady about doing the job. Their seamstresses do beautiful work. (If I weren't too lazy to iron often, I'd have bought their embroidered blouses. Some of them are works of art!)😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gringal Posted February 18, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2019 Just FYI: The lady who speaks English is coming on Tuesday. The Monday lady speaks no English and my Spanish isn't good enough to explain what was needed in the alterations. (I know: It's my problem, not the Monday lady's.) So later, I went to the Expert Cleaners and after standing around quite a while, the clerk finally said they didn't know if they could do it or how much. Tomorrow, we'll try the San Antonio person. The search goeth on.🙃 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
