Sewing Cushion Covers

$40

Melbourne VIC, Australia

30th Aug 2025

Hi, I’m looking for someone who can help me bring some cushion covers to life! They’ll be simple, standard covers with a zipper, I just don’t have the sewing skills myself. I will provide the upholstery fabric but will need zips provided, and there may be a couple of different sizes (to be confirmed). I would love to start with one sample, and if all goes well, I’ll be looking to have 20+ made to begin with. I’m based in the South Eastern suburbs, so ideally looking for somewhere local, though I’m flexible. (Only Melbourne locals please, not interstate) I’m happy to work around $40 per hour, but open to negotiating depending on the job (Images are of the upholstery roll I have and cushion style I would like made.)

I'm looking to get a custom dress made for my wedding in May next year. Attached are references for the style I'm keen to create, which is heavily inspired by Danielle Frankel's Simone dress: https://www.daniellefrankelstudio.com/products/simone "Raised cowl neck, bias cut silk wool long sleeve gown with 5 inch slit at wrist. Open back with scarf draped accent. Fully lined with side zip closure." I'm seeking quotes at the moment and would love to understand how much custom making something like this style would cost and what the process looks like.
