I had an eight year old, tired backpack with my military patches. Bought the identical backpack (Swiss Army) and wanted the patches taken off the old one and put on the new one. AVL accepted the project and did a fantastic job. They were quick. Beautiful work. Fair price. If you have a sewing project, give them a call. They are beyond awesome.

Had a quick consultation with Karmen about adding some upcycled floral elements to a mens basic seersucker short-sleeve button down. It was a new experience for me and a lot of fun! Turnaround is quick, the work is professional, and the reveal upon pickup is of course the best part. Rock unique stuff and support a talented local artist!

Karmen is wonderful! Very creative & a great seamstress in a good location. She is super customer friendly. Check out her great Second Hand / Thrift shops finds she sells. She can customize it for you. She has become my "go to" for any mending needs. So glad I found her. Keep up the good work, Karmen!

What a joyful, creative experience we had! Left truly inspired by Karmen. What a gem! I’m now online shopping sewing machines… so I think that’s a great sign. I took my stepdaughter and her friend for an appliqué workshop and we left with cute, new-to-us, up-cycled clothes and the itch to create more! Thank you, Sew AVL. We’ll be back!!!!

✨DELIGHTFUL✨ I popped in because the display out front was very cute, despite my lack of sewing skills. There are racks of clothing that have already been embellished with embroidery or patches, or fringe, and other adornments to choose from easily. Or if you want to create your own piece like I did, Karmen has racks of plain quality pieces. The first item I picked up and tried on was an aubergine chore jacket that fit perfectly! I then selected 2 patches out of the many options, and Karmen sewed Morris, my new giraffe friend, on the back after we selected a spot together. I kept shopping down Biltmore Ave and came back when I was done, long after she was finished affixing Morris to my new-to-me jacket. I also selected a small quilted patch with 3 foxes on it that will serve as my first tiny sewing project, I want to put the foxes on a front pocket. Thank you for chatting and putting your unique creativity into the world Karmen!
