gringal Posted September 16, 2021 Report Share Posted September 16, 2021 Can someone recommend a seamstress in the Ajijic-Chapala area who speaks at least a little English? I can't use the one in Ajijic with the difficult entry steps, and my Spanish is very limited. I have been using one near Walmart (who is excellent) but our communication problems have resulted in some problem results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ibarra Posted September 16, 2021 Report Share Posted September 16, 2021 If no answers to your satisfaction, try a search using "tailor", there are many entries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmh Posted September 16, 2021 Report Share Posted September 16, 2021 There is one or was one on the same street as the one you know second door before the corner of that street going west. Her husband is Jose Luis AKA el Cuate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gringal Posted September 16, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2021 I'm lost here: which street? The one I've been using is in San Antonio on the first lake side street east of Walmart. Don't know Jose Luis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmh Posted September 16, 2021 Report Share Posted September 16, 2021 gringal I was thinking of Rosy on Ocampo who also has steps to get to her place.. If you go west of Rosy´s on Ocampo the place is almost at the corner on the left handside. If I find the card I will post the exact address and phone number but I do not have it handy right now.

gringal Posted September 17, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2021 I've used the upholsterer several times. Does good work. Didn't know about the wife. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MtnMama Posted September 18, 2021 Report Share Posted September 18, 2021 When I asked awhile back about a tailor, I received this link. Husband has used her and she has done several repair jobs. From her sign I believe she speaks English but husband speaks passable Spanish so he isn't sure. No stairs Posted December 5, 2020 I have had some minor work done at Costura Expres at 123 Colon in SAT. Below is a link to a map of their location. If you click on the street view, you can get a closeup of their sign that includes a phone number. https://www.google.com/maps/place/Colón+123,+San+Antonio+Tlayacapan,+45900+Ajijic,+Jal./@20.2959485,-103.2430284,17z/data=!4m13!1m7!3m6!1s0x842f413589f9ea9f:0xa885df6c6235010b!2sColón+123,+San+Antonio+Tlayacapan,+45900+Ajijic,+Jal.!3b1!8m2!3d20.2959209!4d-103.2431505!3m4!1s0x842f413589f9ea9f:0xa885df6c6235010b!8m2!3d20.2959209!4d-103.2431505 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gringal Posted September 18, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2021 LOL...that's the one we've been using. The sign is a bit misleading...she doesn't speak English. She does excellent work, but our language gaps have resulted in some mistakes. Life is thorny enough. With my hearing problem and minimal Spanish...it's time to go elsewhere. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good man doing the upholstery, and decent parking there, but haven't heard about Teri before this thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
