Sew a patch onto a suitcase.
$100
Sydney NSW 2000, Australia
11th Sep 2026
Requiring 1 patch to be sown onto a suitcase. I have 20 suitcases (6 x 78cm and 14 x 55cm)that need a 7cm x 4cm patch sown onto the front of the material suitcase. Due to the number of suitcases it may be easier to do this on site rather then have then picked up and dropped off to be worked on in a different location. I believe they can be hand sown, but happy for you to advise best process for longevity. Also happy to discuss price, just putting a generic price get the listing up.
