Embroidery on x 4 bathrobes AND hemming of x 5 curtains

$145

East Melbourne VIC, Australia

3rd Jun 2025

Hello! I’m looking for a keen home sewing person. I’ve been very sick lately & I’ve bought matching cozy fluffy bathrooms for my mum & two sisters as a thank you for helping me out while I am sick/tired etc. I’d like someone who can sew / embroider to be able to sew our family nicknames onto the back of each of the X 4 robes. I think sewing on a braided dark pink ribbon in the shape of each short nickname would be easiest & perfect and look very special & cute… open to ideas. AND Aside from this, I’ve bought x 5 sets of cheap Ikea curtains for my vintage caravan that I need hemmed to caravan window length, so I can lease the van out for some income. I will get the measurements. I’ve got the robes & curtains with me in East Melbourne. If you could pick up / drop off when done that would be amazing as I am not very mobile at the moment.. However, I DO have my old car with me and I could drop off to you at some point when I am not sick - as long as not too far & not in a busy traffic period. I am new to Melbourne & not very confident driving in the hectic traffic…🙈 I’ve made what I hope is a reasonable offer for your time on this - but please make a different offer if you think necessary & I will consider. I don’t have a lot of cash left just at the moment (not working for several months as sick), but I do want to be fair & reasonable about the payment - and it is very important to me that this present is special & beautiful for my family, and also that my beloved old vintage caravan is functional, and so I can lease it for some income while I am not well. I have included approx $25 in this offer for the braid to be sewn on & matching thread for that & the green curtains. I have also included $20 for pick up & drop off to East Melbourne. Thank you.

Isabella is such a fantastic Airtasker! She’s so smart, skilled, honest, diligent and is very professional in her communications. Recommend her very highly to anyone for… basically anything! She’s going places for sure 🙌🙏
