Had to get 2 suits altered for the first time, the front desk associate was very kind and explained the process to me
15 January 2024 4:56
Helped me alter some goaltending equipment straps. Hats off to them for stepping up to the task! 10/10 service
17 December 2023 2:58
Had a hole in my coat and Dawn had it it stitched up for me within 5 minutes. Fantastic service. Would highly recommend.
13 December 2023 17:36
I've had two jacket repairs done here during the Christmas rush this year and the service has been amazing. Staff is incredibly friendly and work was done very quick. Both repairs are stronger than before they were damaged and will last. Very highly recommend.

I needed same day service for a funeral … they were so understanding and accomodating … both of the women who worked there expressed their sympathy and got my suit ready in 4 hours. Thank You so much.

Excellent service yet again from Stitch it at the Penn Centre St. Catharines. Special mention to Dawn Lloyd the store manager for her professional knowledge and attention to customer service.
12 August 2023 3:13
Great service, was able to get my embroidering done in under 30 minutes. Great quality and service!
11 August 2023 15:29
Always receive friendly and efficient service from Stitch It Pen Centre location. The price is very competive and love their texting system when your order is ready. When you come on a weekend it can be busy.
06 August 2023 20:36
The work they do is excellent BUT dry cleaning is expensive & stitching. No longer stitch on patches
07 July 2023 3:23
These lady's are wonderful. So helpful and fair price and good quality. They stand by their stitching. I have gotten so many things fixed from here and I couldn't be happier with their work.
19 June 2023 21:45
I got my dress tailored here, it took 1 minute for her to pin it and then it only took 5 days for my dress to be tailored. My dress turned out amazing and the staff was very sweet and helpful. Amazing place to get alterations done for any occasion.
05 June 2023 12:42
We have gone to Stitch It for our various alteration needs and we always have a positive experience. They have repaired and restored jackets and gowns and they have done alterations on dresses, suits etc. Most recently they not only altered formal wear for our teens but it was done so quickly that we were amazed! Really appreciate the amazing staff and good customer service/experience.
01 February 2023 16:08
Don't go there to get your clothes dry cleaned! I brought my Artizia coat to the place to get it dry cleaned at the end of Oct and they ruined it. The fur on the coat was totally burned and it's not fixable. I went to the store for at least 5 times and tried to get the issue settled. THEY STILL COULDN'T SOVLE IT AS OF TODAY. It has been 2 months since the issue happened. Dawn the store manager promised me to call back to provide me an update on a certain date. I haven't heard anything from her. I called back, the staff told me she was not even in. She also asked me go back again to drop off the receipt which I did 2 weeks prior. They are not going to do anything about the time and gas I wasted to solve the issue they created for me. I emailed the customer service. The first email went great. They promised me to solve the issue. When I emailed back and asked for their buy back policy, nobody replied me back for almost a week. I still haven't heard anything back yet. It's a terrible place and take your money somewhere else.
07 January 2023 12:17
Very cost-friendly and great quality! I brought my Roots hoodie I to be stitched at the seem of the pockets and you can’t even notice it ever ripped in the first place! Thank you so much and for being extremely kind as well! I bought a sewing kit for $1 as a bonus because how can you not?
22 December 2022 12:53
Had my dress hemmed and it came out beautifully. Service was excellent and I got my dress back a day after I handed it in. Great convenient location
27 September 2022 20:20
Update: their solution is to ignore my questions and concerns and tell me to bring them back to be recleaned. A completely unsatisfactory solution for damaged items and the expense incurred buying clothes to wear while these are redone at another cleaner. Not to mention the exorbitant price paid originally.

I brought in some blazers for dry cleaning, and first off was surprised at the price. Nearly $25 each, when my last place would charge maybe $15. Fine, maybe they'll do a good job, whatever. Then I get the blazers back.

I had 6 for cleaning. 4 still smell like they have been worn, and one has such bad ironing burns it is now unwearable, which also happened to be my favorite. I am extremely disappointed in the dry cleaning service offered and will not be returning. Hemming and alterations are good, but don't trust their cleaners.
24 September 2022 4:57
Yesterday, the lovely ladies at Stitch It in the Pen Centre were able to hem my pants within 10 minutes after learning I needed them for a wedding and that the original time frame for the alteration wouldn’t work. I’m very grateful and am leaving my first ever business review just because of them. Thank you!
17 September 2022 13:45
Oh my gosh - so helpful! I went in thinking I had to replace a wole zipper and lining on a jacket and the seamstress simply switched out the broken part with a spare she had in 5 minutes! Plus she gave me great advice on how to fix another simple issue myself.
10 September 2022 18:59
Dawn was really wonderful, she helped me navigate my pant alterations and they were done in a very timely manner. She was polite and professional!
09 September 2022 19:27
The ladies were great! Busy as heck but got my two pairs of pants done in under 30 minutes! Thanks for the great service.
29 August 2022 14:38
Amazing customer service! In need of a desperate alteration and they took the time to go the extra mile to help us out! You honestly saved the day and the dress looks beautiful! Thank you!
10 August 2022 10:52
I would again like to personally thank Julie from Stitch It. She went above and beyond her duties. She ensured my spouse Company's jacket was attended to, she followed up as it had a variety of work needed, called to give me update and stated when the jacket was available for pick up. Today, you very rarely find Excellent Customer Service. Thank you Julie for all your hard work, Excellent customer service and overall a very nice person. Your attention to your work detail is very much appreciated. Will be referring my friends/colleagues to you.
04 August 2022 17:08
Let's just say the service at this shop is so amazing, kind, and wholesome that I didn't even care that my alterations had to get pushed a little bit. There is a reason this shop is so busy, and it's the incredible staff that work so hard and produce such quality work! I never left this place upset and always looked forward to seeing the team here. Thank you so much.
21 July 2022 2:42
I went in with a messed up zipper on my beekeeping suit. Julie had me outta door in less than 5 minutes with a zipper as good as new.
Great service!
10 July 2022 2:46
We went into Stitch It to get a pair of pants hemmed. The lady was so kind and helpful and fit us in even though they were extremely busy. My sons pants were ready for pick up 2 days later and thank goodness…his Grad is on Monday! Thank you for your kindness, it is very much appreciated!
09 July 2022 7:44
Absolutely fantastic customer service. My dress was perfect. It was hemmed and a closet back put in. The staff was phenomenal at addressing all the customers needs in a wonderful manner.
09 July 2022 6:17
I've had several zipper repairs both with Julie and Dawn. Both were quick, friendly and able to help me on the spot.
01 July 2022 15:24
I highly recommend the friendly, skilled tailors at Stitch It. They were able to help me short notice for a funeral. I am non-binary with a feminine shape and a masculine style. I tried several tailors but all others were not willing to try and make my blazer fit. Tailors at Stitch It were not only kind and understanding, they were also confident with the challenge! They did an amazing job taking in the shoulders and sleeves, and I'm very happy with the service! Five stars.
27 June 2022 10:35
The ladies here are always pleasant and take real pride in their work. They’re fast and precise. I’ve been going here for years for minor repairs, to full suit alterations. Thanks for always doing a great job.
20 June 2022 19:33
Late post but the owner was so kind. Had a same day alteration needed for Easter weekend. She had my jeans altered within 30
Min. It was a life saver! Highly recommend and reasonable prices give fast and high quality service.
08 June 2022 22:50
I had a wonderful experience at the Pen Center location. When my husband and I walked into the store, Julie was already showing exceptional care for an older lady by offering her to sit down in one of the alteration booths in order to relax on this hot day. Julie quickly tended to my husband and I whom had came in to get a new zipper put on two pairs of pants. We expected to drop them for a couple hours and come back. Julie had a much speedier approach in mind. Before I could barely even explain what was wrong, she was off and had both pairs of pants back to us within 5 minutes and ensured we tried zipping them ourselves and were satisfied with the work performed. Excellent customer satisfaction and extremely fair prices. Thank you to Stitch It and Julie to taking care of your customers and representing the company with pride.
07 June 2022 20:58
I’d been declined alterations on a very intricately assembled dress elsewhere. Upon hearing what I wanted, the only response was, “of course we can do that”. Maintaining the integrity of the geometric design, they able to take in the dress on both side seams as well as rework the chest. Once again it fits like it was made for me and I can continue loving a very special dress. Reasonable price with a super fast turnaround!
21 May 2022 11:00
Walked in first thing when they opened, needed my pants hemmed asap as I'm a procrastinator and needed them for tomorrow and the lady helping me got me set up and finished in 10mins! Couldn't be more happy with the service I received this time as well as other times I have used their service! Thank-you!
17 May 2022 5:43
Stitch It offers a splendid tailoring service. I had a button-down shirt hemmed and the result was flawless! The prices are reasonable, so the store is certainly a good choice for anyone requiring alterations.
08 May 2022 0:59
Went in to get 4 uniform shirts altered. Dawn was so friendly and had me in and out in no time! Will be going back here again for future needs.
07 May 2022 23:32
I needed some work done on my work uniform with an urgent turnaround (24 hours). The staff there pulled out all the stops to get my items done in time for the event I needed them for.
02 May 2022 6:27
I brought a new (ish) cardigan in to repair some damage that my dryer had caused, Julie came out quickly, repaired the tear in my clothing item, did it right away, no appointment. She didn’t even charge me. Thank you, so much!
24 April 2022 0:23
I took a dress in for alterations and the staff was very flexible and accommodating with my short turn around time. While being fitted, the lady was very professional and took great care to explain all the steps involved and how they would alter the dress.
21 April 2022 12:00
I work at a hotel and had to take multiple uniforms in for tailoring. Dawn helped me multiple times, she was so sweet and kind helping me with everything. Not to mention a fantastic job on the suits. Thank you for everything, I’ll be sure to come by if I ever need anything again. Cheers
15 April 2022 17:20
Great service! Friendly, knowledgeable and very quick! David repaired a pant zipper for me. I always use Stitch It for all my alterations and repairs. Excellent business!
11 April 2022 5:30
As always! This place took care of my alterations quickly and professionally. Excellent customer service. 100% recommend.
22 March 2022 20:08
All the lovely snow shovelling this past week resulted in my jacket sleeve tearing off and my back nearly giving out. Luckily, Dawn and Julie at Stitch it, inside the Pen Centre, were able to conduct an emergency operation on my favourite jacket and now all is well again. I really appreciate the rush service - thank you!
21 March 2022 12:06
Dawn was pleasant when I called availability. When I arrived she was efficient and friendly. She was able to hem my pants in 10min. I would highly recommend others to come here.
21 March 2022 1:38
I have had many things repaired and altered at Stitche It in St. Catharines. The workmanship is high-quality and is always done in a timely manner!
Thank you to Julie for your great customer service!
I would highly recommend them!
07 March 2022 0:41
I came into Stitch It with a bit of an emergency. Dawn was more than happy to fix a couple holes along my pant seams and re-press my pants. I was in and out in less than 5 minutes. Awesome service!
28 February 2022 11:14
David repaired the zipper on the black purse I brought in within minutes and Julie assisted. You people are awesome.
Thank you, Michael
22 February 2022 10:10
Julie was very helpful and responsive. Did a quick fix on my coat. Zipped better then new! Will be back again!
20 February 2022 9:00
Julie assisted me with the repair of hook on my vest. She was not only professional but did a very good job with the repair in fact the hook is much sturdier than it was when I bought the vest. Not only was she professional she fixed my vest immediately Keep up the good work! Thank you
10 February 2022 21:28
Julie is AMAZING!
She fixed my @#$% zipper and helped 3 other people in less than 5 minutes - Stitch It now has dry cleaning too.
Thank you, Julie, I'll be back!
13 January 2022 19:25
Just want to say David did a great job on my belt and I send all of my students to get their patches put on their gi’s to him. Thank you from St. Catharine’s Brazilian Jiujitsu.
22 July 2021 13:36
Expected a 2-3 day wait as per the usual turn around time for a pant hemming and it was done in 15 minutes after a quick lap around the mall. Excellent service and quick turnaround!
10 May 2021 16:00
Super friendly staff. We brought many items in and everything fit so well. They were quick and consistent. Decent pricing. Overall happy with the customer service.
14 February 2021 13:08
I had given two pairs of pant for alteration. As expected they did a remarkable job. The lady there was polite and professional and my items were finished on time.
Thank you and I look forward for further alterations.
09 February 2021 21:23
I went in on a busy evening but it only took about 2 minutes! I popped in with a broken zipper and Dawn took my coat and had it fixed on a flash. And for a great price! I’m so happy with the service. You’d never even know my coat was broken earlier today. Thanks, Dawn!
29 November 2020 8:38
I had custom ordered my wedding dress online. When I received it, it was 4 inches too big. I took it to the pen centre location and the lady that helped me was amazing. Her name is Dawn. She made me feel so much better and pinned me up in my dress and reassured me my dress would be perfect. The seamstress, her name is Home did an amazing job fixing my dress! She even hand sewed a blingy belt on my dress and she reenforced the button eyelets on my dress as they were starting to fray. I highly recommend this business. Thank you so much Dawn and Home
20 April 2020 5:39
Waited 15 mins awkwardly in the store front waiting to be helped by staff. Staff was dismissive and wanted to get me out of the store as quickly as possible. Wanted to charge me $70 for a zipper replacement. Got it done at a local talior instead for $36. Do some looking around before coming here
20 April 2020 4:09
Amazing service. Wonderful and fast customer service. Very pleased with the ladies here. Dawn and Julie at the back. Highly recommend this place.
11 April 2020 9:08
They were very inviting and ready to work with. More importantly the end product was everything that it could ask for. Definitely coming back if I need anymore work done
31 March 2020 4:08
Prom dress needed alterations. Dawn fully understood what I was looking for and brought that visualization to reality, with Amy’s sewing skills. I am so pleased with the outcome!
26 March 2020 0:11
Wow, went to get 9 shirts taken in and shortened. Just guess what they wanted to charge me. $85 a shirt! What? !
Went to a local seamstress for $15 a shirt.
16 March 2020 23:48
Took some pants to be altered this week. Julie was lovely, a pleasure to deal with, and did a fantastic job with the alterations.
18 February 2020 8:01
The lady that helped me was lovely and it was very fast! She even went above and beyond to have my pants ready a day earlier so that I could have them when I needed! Even though it was short notice!
02 February 2020 11:57
Very helpful with some alterations I had done and reasonably priced. They always seem to be busy, so expect a week or so for turnaround.
12 January 2020 18:34
Excellent service! The manager is so friendly and personable. I went in on a busy day and I needed last minute alterations done and she was able to accommodate me. Saved my life! I will be back. Great experience. Thank you!
11 December 2019 8:42
Worst place for customer service. Woman was rude and insulted my clothes in front of a line of ppl. Will never go back!
06 November 2019 1:47
We had a wedding this summer, it was less than a week away and Dawn said to bring it in and they'd get it done. My dress had a lot of detailed sequence, but her team was able to get it done on time and they did an awesome job. They also fixed my daughters maid of honour dress, she had used the woman at Stitch It at the Fairview mall for her alterations. I would not recommend her at all, she was rude and grumpy and needless to say did a half done job since Dawn's team had to stitch, tuck and gather. Plus when I decided to pick up my dress because I didn't trust Stitch at the Fairview Mall with it after seeing my daughters dress, she wasn't going to give me my money back and she hadn't even started on it yet. Dawn did it for a better price and her team were so nice, I would highly recommend them.
26 October 2019 15:10
I would like to commend dawn on her customer service, she did everything in her power to get my granddaughters banquet dress shortened in less than a day, she did all that with a smile on her face and a promise that it would be done in time. Thank you dawn
21 October 2019 4:56
They were fantastic, I'll never go anywhere else. I needed my work uniform altered and brought it in expecting to wait at least a day. The lady was so friendly and got to it right away, I went for lunch and it was done. Great work, excellent customer service, really fair prices too. Thanks!
17 October 2019 16:18
Just had a great experience with Dawn and Kim today who quickly hemmed two pairs of uniform pants in an hour. The work is great. Terrific service. Thanks ladies.
05 October 2019 1:30
I brought in an expensive ball gown that was not tailored properly by the person I went to before. It started ripping and there was issues with how it was fitting. I was so stressed and annoyed.

I went to Stitch It and Paula worked on my dress to make it fit better and fix the issues from the pervious person I went too. Paula did an amazing job and she was quick! I was really impressed.
25 September 2019 20:40
Excellent and friendly service. They helped me into a proper fitting pant and had my alterations done in 15 minutes.
08 September 2019 12:24
Ty you for the great bunch of lady that help me I brojght in my sons pants and jacket that needed shorten and sleeves shorten needed it for the end of the week the lady pinned him and suggested to take the pants in she was right I picked it up and it fits great I will be bringing my close here thank you Dawn for making my son look amazing
18 August 2019 7:46
I have been using the Stitch It location at The Pen Centre for a couple of years now and they do exceptional work. Not once have I had to return an item to be redone, as it is perfect the first time, every time. The prices are fair and the service is very efficient. Turnaround time on a job is almost always met, and the one time it wasn't they had it ready within minutes of my arrival. Most times I am served and measured by Dawn, who is always pleasant and informed about what needs to be done. I rely on her judgement always, which is unerring. The team is great and work well together. Definitely worth a visit!
13 August 2019 1:04
Had some pants to be dry cleaned, but whatever spray they used on my three pants ruined them as it looked like some kind of bleach was used by the dry cleaner. Won't bother anymore with the dry cleaning.
Some pockets are faded and parts of the pants are not good. So now I have to buy brand new pants and that cost so much. The staff are wonderful but the place they send out dry cleaning are the worse.
07 August 2019 5:53
Do not go to this place! Literally turned dress pants into capris! Took them in over a week prior to us needing them, go to pick them up which was already a hassle since they blew up my phone yesterday telling us "oh can you pick up later in the afternoon" when we needed them for this morning as we have a wedding out of town, bring them home and boom we get f****** capris. They're so unorganized! Completely unprofessional! And now we are most likely going to be late for the wedding since we have to rush around looking for new pants!
31 July 2019 23:36
I need to let you know about an incident that happened at your store this afternoon.
At about 5: 15 pm, a friend and I came into your store, the man that was In front of us was so rude, he was yelling at the manager that handled herself so well, this man was putting her down, yelling that she better give him his money back and that his pants were not up to his liking.
The store manager aplogized so many time and even told the man that she would fix his pants in 5 minutes,
But he wasn't interested, I'm sorry but this woman should not have to be put thru that kind of abuse.
Again my hats off to her.
29 July 2019 8:24
Wonderful service! Took a gown in to have a beaded/embroidered belt stitched on for my daughter's graduation and have some additional alterations done. The customer service was excellent and the seamstress did an incredible job. Couldn't be happier with the way the dress turned out and the fantastic service!
04 July 2019 5:31
I've been taking my stuff here for years, and I've never had a problem. Dawn and the staff are always pleasant and realistic about the timelines required to alter clothes.
