Thank you to all who responded to my request. Some of you wanted the information. Happy to share:

Alterations Express was recommended by several people, some find them expensive. A few other places were mentioned too. Here are the recommendations:

Alterations Express …  I've also used Andy's Tailoring on Murray Ave. I found the     prices almost exactly the same. Alterations Express is more convenient, but one of their repairs came unraveled and they wouldn't take responsibility for it because it was a month later. They don't guarantee the quality of their repairs.

Alterations Express by Staples/Trader Joes.  I had a pair of pants hemmed and another taken in at the hips. They were about $15 per alteration. You can walk in, no appointment. I found it easy and convenient.

 

I use Rocky for all my alteration needs. He's located in Bloomfield Rocky's Tailor Shop Alterations & Tailoring · $$   5105 Liberty AvePittsburgh, PA 15224 

 

Years ago, my sweet mom, went to Primo Tailoring on Freeport Road, in the plaza with Baskin-Robbins ice cream, near Tai Pei restaurant in Fox Chapel.  Sure their workmanship and service remains top quality.

Virginia did some work on a Christmas stocking for me that was wonderful! 

 

Pham Tailoring in Sharpsburg is supposed to be good. My mother uses her but I haven’t used her for anything other than shortening pants.
