We’re looking for an experienced curtain maker or seamstress to help us sew custom decorative curtains for our new venue opening inside Crown Melbourne. We only require the sewing work – we will supply the fabric (deep blue, velvet-style look), and we will handle all attachments and installation ourselves. These curtains are purely decorative, meant to stay gathered and elegant, with a quick-release system in case we need to open the glass doors behind them. 🔹 No hardware/rails needed 🔹 Fabric supplied by us 🔹 Sewing only – urgent turnaround required We’ve attached two reference images showing the spaces. Based on those, we estimate the following approximate finished curtain sizes: Main glass wall with seating (Image 1): • Left side: approx. 220–240cm height x 100–120cm width • Centre (2 curtains): each approx. 220–240cm height x 100–120cm width • Right side: approx. 220–240cm height x 100–120cm width Glass wall behind piano (Image 2): • Left corner: approx. 220–240cm height x 100–120cm width • Right corner: approx. 220–240cm height x 100–120cm width ❗Please note: These are only rough estimates to assist with quoting – final measurements can be confirmed on-site or with updated photos. Our soft opening is scheduled for July 9th, so ideally, we would like the curtains completed as soon as possible before then. If this sounds like something you could help with, please get in touch with your availability and an approximate quote.
