I can thread monofilament through the eye of a salmon egg hook, but for the life of me, I can't seem to thread a sewing needle.
That's where Christina's saves the day!
For only $4.50, I can get my pants hemmed within minutes.
I have short legs, so whether it be jeans or dress pants, I either have to find pants with an inseam of 28-29, or have the length altered. I generally have 1 or 2 pair of jeans, 1 pair of khaki pants & 1 pair of black dress pants, so I don't go to seamstresses that often. Having bought a new pair of black dress pants, due to my weight loss (yes!) I came to Christina's for a hemming.

I just went in there today and it’s a new owner. I brought the pants they did previously to match the new patch I just got, but now they are charging me $26. The price to alter my pants now cost more than the pants itself 😂. Time to find a new...
Read moreMy experience here wasn't the most convenient but considering that its the holidays, I understand that hours may change. They were closed when I got here so I had to come back the following day.
There's plenty of parking so that shouldn't be a problem.
Theres a fitting room you can use to try on your uniforms.
