Lori Paschall was a pleasure to work with. She came to my home several times with loads of books of fabric swatches and spent a lot of time with me. She was so patient and really listened to me and helped me find a fabric and style of valence that looks great in my kitchen. She knows a lot more about decorating than just window treatments, and we discussed some other projects in my home. I recommend her very highly. Also, the installer they use is very good and efficient. The entire process was great!

Excellent service and attention to detail by Lori from SewFine 2. She was very responsive, answering calls and emails in evenings and weekends after work hours. She brought lots of samples to the house and was helpful navigating the many choices of styles, materials, and colors to best suit our project. She scheduled and personally supervised the installation. No concerns at all. I know they will be responsive if I have any concerns in the future with the product or the installation. I only put "B" for price because these are Hunter Douglas shades and they are more expensive than off brand shades but I am VERY pleased with the quality of the shades in appearance, heft of the fabric and workings of the mechanism. The installers were very busy and it was hard to coordinate their schedule with my busy work schedule so this delayed my installation for a couple of weeks. The quality of the installation and the personable nature of the folks doing the work certainly met my expectations, however.
Description of Work: Consultation about needs for sunshades and possible options. Measuring. Ordering. Arranging professional installation with onsite oversight.

It was perfect! Lori, the decorator, was very helpful in showing me several types of Roman shades. When they were installed, she brought her installer and he had them up in about 15 min. They were extremely pleasant to work with!

Lori was very professional. She helped me pick the fabric for a pair of draw draperies that would cover 3 windows in my husband's study.I thought it would be a slow and difficult process to select the fabric, but Lori understood what I wanted and helped me choose the fabric that would go well with his office and please my husband. The result is beautiful. I am very happy with the draperies.

Instead of bombarding up with many, many samples, Paula came and measured windows, looked at our colors and came back with a small number of samples custom-chosen for us. We liked all of her choices. The installations were done very professionally.

Paula from Sew Fine II has a wonderful eye for color and design. There is no way we could have done this ourselves. The dining roon drapes were the finishing touch in the room. The valance in the bedroom coordinated with the colors in the room perfectly and the unique design really dressed up the room.. The selections that Paula brought after looking at the drapes and valence we wanted done were extensive. She spent as much time as we needed to decide what fabric appealed to both me and my husband. She also suggested a number of styles for both windows that she thought might work. The final product is the finishing touch for both rooms. We can't recommend her too highly. I have not had curtains made professionally in a very long time. I mentioned that the price was high, but I really loved the work Paula had done in a neigbor's home and put a lot of stock in that neighbor's recommendation. As my neigbor told me, the service she gave us was excellent. Therefore, I listed the price as good, but the only comparison I have is to ready made curtains that would not really compare to the finished product we have. I do believe the high cost was worth it. I would definitely recommend this vendor to anyone interested is having a beautiful set of drapes or a unique valance done. The finished product is wonderful.
Description of Work: A set of drapes to hang at the side of a large dining roon window from a brushed nickel rod with egg shaped finials were made to order with custom fabric. A lined, pleated arched valance was made for a triple window with a bias band at the top. Both were installed when they were completed.

Lori responded very quickly to my Angie's List enquiry. She called before to check the address and to confirm the appointment details. She was extremely well prepared with many sample books and idea books. We found a pattern and style that was much better than my first choice. I would never have picked it out without professional assistance. I have another appointment set up with Lori to discuss furniture and more textiles.
Description of Work: Lori came to my home and did all the measuring for curtains in 3 rooms. She gave helpful suggestions and gave excellent advice on how to enhance the beauty of the rooms. She was also mindful of price as well as practicality.

We bought an outdoor daybed for our new screen porch and needed a weather resistant spread and pillows to make it useful as a couch during the day. We had some outdoor-quality material we wanted to use, and found it was going to be a challenge to figure out how to make it work given the fabric and the size of the daybed. We called Barb at Sew Fine and she came to our house twice to look at the daybed, take measurements, work up a plan and go over it with us. She was easy to contact and work with, and seemed genuinely excited about the project . She promised us the work would be done in one month and it was. She brought it to us after work one evening and we all celebrated the beautiful outcome. We don't have any way to compare the price of this work to other companies, but the ease of getting this project done was worth a lot to us and we were willing to spend the money on a quality product and Barb's flexibility in accommodating our busy schedules.
