Desired Properties of finished product: - Professional table top surface that lays flat, feels smooth, stable with a slight spring in touch. - Minimal wrinkling, fabric shifting and sagging during gameplay - Reversible, soft, and well-balanced - Endures multiple people playing with cards and chips across an evening, (any additional ongoing use would be amazing) Flexible on price, open to creative direction

Sewing of flags

$150

Werribee VIC 3030, Australia

7th May 2025

I need to have 11 flags sewn. I have the materials and just need them sewn together. They need to be block colours - ie blue at the top, red and then yellow. They also need to have a 35mm pocket on the side to insert a pole. They are only for the football so they dont need to be perfect. They would be as follows. 5 X horizontal blue at the top, red middle, 6 X vertical blue on the left, red middle and yellow right. The photo attached with the circled image highlights roughly what they would look like. I’ve closed the material together to show how to sue them but it doesn’t need to be anything too great. I am happy to meet to drop off the material and ideally I would like it completed in about a week

Garment alterations and sewing assistance

$175

East Melbourne VIC, Australia

15th Jan 2025

I would like an experienced seamstress/sewist to help me alter, repair and sew some garments, and help me learn more about dressmaking. Starting with a 3 hour session, with the potential for ongoing work. Ideally, you will: - be friendly and patient and a clear teacher with actionable advice - be able to bring your own sewing machine. I have one, but its very old, and I'd prefer if we could work simultaneously.* - have experience making dance costumes and gowns - understand fabrics and have experience sewing with challenging materials - be able to give advice on choosing fabrics - understand how to adjust and create garments for mid-size, curvy, petite women. - be happy to work in a house with a cat. The budget I am setting includes $50 per hour for 3 hours, plus $25 for bringing a sewing machine and any basic equipment. If you are not able to bring these tools, please reflect that in your offer. *Note: I have needles, thread, scissors, bobbins, measuring tape, some patterns and practice fabrics and some other basics, but no chalk. If you want to bring anything along that would help it would be much appreciated!

Meha was wonderful! Very reliable, knowledgeable and friendly!
