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.)

$20

Melbourne VIC, Australia

11th Apr 2024

Hello! I have 13 kidswear pieces that I needed sewed. It's only 5 styles but also additional colourways, so 13 styles in total. I have patterns available for 3 of the styles. I have samples available for the remaining styles and would require a pattern to be made for these 2 styles. I have the sample yardage sourced and available. I am also looking for someone to sew x20 units of each style once the patterns and samples are complete and finalised (x20 units of x13 styles). So if you would like to quote for only the sewing and not the pattern making, please also let me know. I have a detailed spreadsheet available and ready to send privately upon your reply. I am based in Melbourne, but happy to accept offers from greater Victoria. Thank you.
