Tammy’s Tailor Shop

The place was a bit hard to find but it’s between Wells & Park; across the street from the Credit Union and MotoWorld. I had originally gone to another very popular business which I’d seen on Unilocal but they told me appointments were required to see their tailor. So I called Tammy and she said walk-​ins were welcome. When I finally showed up near closing time, Tammy was very nice, have suggestions, but open to what I wanted. I’m the end she fitted 3 sport coats that required lots of alteration and the price was lower than that charged by other suit tailors. The great prices and quality work will have me coming back for any future clothing alterations.

Tammy did a wonderful job on hemming my sweats. One day turn around. Will do business again.

Sweet, sweet lady who owns the shop. $ 8.00 to hem a pair of pants. Picked them up and came home to try them on and she did a great job on them. Glad I found her from the positive reviews on Unilocal

My wife and I have been going here for years. During that times she has done alterations to pants, shirts, jackets and sewn on various patches. We have even had her fix other places mistakes. She is very accommodating and friendly and has always been willing to rush a job that we need fast. Her pricing is fair and we have never been disappointed.

I’m so glad that I trusted the reviews on Tammy’s because I just picked up 6 pairs of jeans and they are perfect! I am short and always have to alter my pants. My mom used to alter all of my pants before she passed, so it was hard for me to pay someone else to do it. i finally caved and I’m so glad that I did because you can’t even tell they were altered. I definitely will come here again. Tammy’s a very nice lady too :)

Tammy is very sweet and always does an excellent job for the price

We LOVE Tammy. Been coming here for years. Moved to Scripps Ranch a couple years ago and still go back to Tammy. Her prices are reasonable and she does great work. We’ll keep coming back for as long as we live in San Diego!

Tammy is the best tailor in El Cajon area. She is very professional and knows how to do the job very well. My husband and I always use her services to tailored our shirts and pants, and we are very satisfied with her work. Sometimes we need our clothing to be done on the same day, and Tammy is so kind enough to do it for us.
Tammy always has a friendly attitude which is the reason why clients keep coming back to her.

Tammy is awesome at her job. I have been their numerous times and will continue to go! The work is always completed before the time given. I highly recomend Tammy’s for all your tailoring needs!!!

Was looking for a tailor last minute. Went to a few places in el cajon and no one could take in my garments past Noon, but I get it. Looked on Unilocal & found Tammy! And thank God for her, had a romper and shorts I needed hemmed & taken in, due to online shopping (grrr) went in around 1230pm she took my measurements & told me to come back before they closed, she called me around 230 & told me my clothes were done! They fit perfectly & look brand new! So happy with her, definitely won’t go anywhere else :-)

Never been there before, but at the last minute, I needed a quick alteration (make a new buttonhole and attach a button) to a vest I wanted to wear to a party that evening.
I probably called 10 different places, none who could do it the same day. Called Tammy Tailor Shop and she was about to close, but told me to come down and she would do it for me. She did a great job, particularly considering it was a rush job after closing time on a weekend, and she even pressed the vest so it would look right with the new button. Super reasonable price, and I really appreciate business owners that will go that extra mile for a customer even on a small job.

I won’t take any of my alterations anywhere else. All my pants need to hemmed and I love taking my jeans here because she makes it look like they were never hemmed in the first place. She has done blouses, including shoulders, which isn’t easy and I’ve had her take in several pairs of jeans in the legs, creating a nice narrow leg, that still mirrors the original contours of the jeans.
Several years ago my fiancé lost a lot of weight, 60 lbs. or so and she took in all of his suits and you would never have known! He was flabbergasted, he thought he was going to have to spends many $ 100’s for new suits, but we had these done at a fraction of the price. Her prices are amazing and she always so pleasant and can get the work done very fast.

I recently had a friend take a gown to this tailor because of her economically friendly prices. EPIC disaster. Not only did the tailor ruin her dress, but she refused to rectify the problem. My friend ended up having to take her dress to another tailor and spend MORE money to fix the problem. The other tailor even said she was appalled by the work that Tammy’s Tailor had done. My poor friend was in tears. Just wrong.
In short, I will NEVER do business with them, and recommend that you don’t either. Spend the extra money the first time and save yourself the heartache and headache.

As long as Tammy is in business I will take her all my clothes! She is the nicest sweetest lady. I need a dress hemmed and taken in for Vegas within a few days and she had it done in plenty of time and only charged me $ 25.00!!! I highly recommend her!

Tammy is awesome! I take all of my clothes that need alterations and repairs to her.
She does excellent jean repairs and when doing alterations on the jeans, she keeps the original hem (LOVE!). The prices that she charges are so low that it should be illegal :)
I have sent many of my friends to Tammy and they just sing her praises!

Tammy is amazing. I will never take my clothing to another tailor after seeing my bill and the end product!!!
After I gave up on my old tailor, I had a hard time committing to take my nice jeans and slacks to «just anybody» for alterations. I had to have at least 2 inches taken in on every pair of jeans and pants I own… so you can imagine I was trying to find a good value but also great quality work on my hard-​earned wardrobe.
I called around a few places, finally calling an old tailor my mom used to use, Markesis, to find that Tammy had taken over the shop. She told me a great fixed price and invited me to come in and try my items on for a fitting. She took one look at my first pair and said «I do fancy jeans very well» and showed me a pair of TR’s she was working on. I couldnt even tell any difference, and I am all about getting as close to identical for unique stiching. I had brought 10 pairs with me that day and after seeing the one pair she was working on, I bit the bullet and decided to see how she would do with this load. She asked me how soon I wanted them (like I ever had a choice before with that big of an order!) and I said, how soon can you get them? It was Monday afternoon, she told me by Friday. Seriously!
And WOW. When I came to pick them up, I was just amazed. I tried on every single pair and studied them in the mirror from all angles. Perfect. PERFECT. All matching thread and identical stiching, belt loops reattached perfect… the only way I could even tell was looking at them inside out… and still it was hardly noticable. And I am VERY PICKY! I WILL return with more… just gotta do a little at a time…
Now here I am spreading the word because this lady really deserves your business! Thanks Tammy! :)
