Please sew me a skirt!

$500

Collingwood VIC, Australia

8th Mar 2024

I have found a skirt in the world that I am absolutely in love with, but the price is eye-watering and I am between sizes. I would love someone to recreate this skirt for me if possible! My mum was a seamstress, so I am very familiar with fittings etc. This is a sheer circle skirt with three main fabrics: first layer 100% silk, 2/3/4 layers are fine layered soft tulle, and the third and final is a more structured tulle with a horse hair binding in the hem. It has a structured waistband with a zip. I live in Collingwood but can come to you for measuring, fittings. I love the idea of giving this work to someone who is really passionate about creating clothing! I don’t have a strict timeline so even if it takes a couple of months, as an example, that would be fine! I had to enter a price and of course I pay for the fabrics and finishings. But I guess you will tell me what you will charge for work like this 😊

Sew a mattress cover

$150

Melbourne VIC, Australia

3rd Mar 2024

Hi There! I am looking for someone to sew a mattress cover together for a mattress I have in my van. I cut a latex mattress to size to fit my bed, but now the mattress cover is too big for the mattress. As such, I have most of the materials you'll require, as I'd prefer to use the cover I already have instead of wasting it. So task will involve cutting that to size and resewing it back together. It does currently have a zip, but this will be too big so that may need to be replace.
