Find experienced local seamstresses in Perth Central

Seeking a seamstress or experienced home sewist to whip up a copy of a dress I already own and love (I find it difficult to find styles & fabrics I am comfortable in). Photos included for reference — it has a looser, drapey top and a double-layered ruched skirt, and I’m hoping to recreate that overall shape and feel. The size is ~ Aus 18-20. I already have what should be adequate fabric: the aqua, navy, and white patterned knit shown in the photos. It came from a remnant box so there’s no label, but it’s very likely an ITY (polyester/elastane) knit — very stretchy, fluid, and cool to the touch. This is intended to be a summer version of the dress. It doesn’t need to be couture or factory-perfect — just well made, wearable, and comfortable. I’m specifically looking for someone with experience sewing stretch and knit fabrics. I could sew this myself, but knits aren’t my usual comfort zone, so I’d love to work with someone confident handling them. I’m flexible and practical. Sleeve and skirt length can be adjusted to suit the available fabric, and I’m very happy with a cowl neck if that’s easier than recreating the original neckline. I also have a modern Janome sewing machine and overlocker, which you’re welcome to use at my place if helpful. Friendly project, realistic expectations, original dress provided as reference. If you enjoy sewing knits, I’d love to hear from you!

Hi. I have a layman mock-up for a custom pair of jeans and am seeking a skilled dress maker to bring it to life. A little particular, so would want the final product to be tweaked to perfection. If you're also able to make a pattern for the final design, that would be a bonus as I'll likely want the same item recreated. I will provide the fabric and hardware required, so no out-of-pockets needed. ** I am running on a deadline so hoping to have the final and perfected product ready ASAP. $10 budget is just a placeholder, please submit your quotes (be mindful that it is an intricate design). Thanks.

Able to sew ladies garments

Hello A bit of a strange one. I am reaching out on behalf of my son, who is a goalkeeper. Recently, he fractured his little finger. While he has now been cleared to play, his doctor has advised that he must wear a splint to protect the finger. We have a brand new pair of gloves, but they need be sewn so the little and ring fingers can be strapped together...a bit like the attached picture. Any help greatly appreciated! Best regards, Jeff

Hello, I have some sketches and fashion designs I need to mock up soon. I would need someone with experience sewing to help me understand the best course of action. It would be a 1-1 project, with alterations and ongoing discussions. Looking foward to have a partner for the beggining of this project.

I am looking for an experienced person to make / sew a custom sized fitted bedsheet to fit one of the mattresses on my boat. It is an odd shape (see photo and rough sketch with measurements) but it should be fairly easy for a dressmaker or similar to do. Keep it mind it is a fitted sheet, so needs a drop on all sides with elasticated edges (mattress depth measurement included in sketch). I can provide the material and elastic if necessary, or happy to pay up to double if you can supply your own (material must be suitable for a bedsheet, either cotton or cotton blend, in any solid colour). I had a friend previously offer to do it but they have stuffed me round for months, and I really need it ready by October for a trip. I’m located in Seville Grove, but happy to come pick it up once completed as long as you’re in the Perth metro area :)

I have a Halloween costume that needs a small modification. A section needs to be neatly cut and sewn to the top to complete the outfit. Quick job for someone with sewing experience/clothing alterations. The listed budget is a starting point and can be adjusted depending on the actual work involved after review.

have a few tshirts with letters we've cut out that need to be sewn onto the back of tshirts - I would be paying an hourly rate. Example 1 tshirt has 4 fabric letters approx 15 x 10cm another has 9 letters aprox 6 x 4cm.
