Build a juki industrial sewing machine from scratch

Hi! I need some clothes repaired, see the following list: 2 skirt - needs back slit stitched back together 1 pant - with 5cm hole 1 pant - with 10cm hole 1 jacket - needs zipper fixed 1 wool skirt - inner lining repair 2 button up shirts with ironing holes 1 lace skirt with small holes <1cm 1 wool sweater needs a few holes patched, 2 small ones <2cm and 2 larger ones 3-5cm in diameter. I'm very happy for the larger holes in the pants and the sweater to be repaired with patches or visible mending rather than invisible repairs, as I'd like to keep the cost down. I'm also open to cute/creative visible mending designs and patches that add a bit of character to the clothes! I'm more interested in a repair being neat and durable than necessarily invisible. Happy to drop off and collect everything to somewhere within the City of Sydney, Bayside Council or Randwick Council. Flexible with timing. Please let me know your price for the whole bundle and what sort of repair you'd recommend.

My Singer Tradition 2250 machine is only stitching in reverse, tried pushing the reverse knob down 10-20 times but doesnt work. I have bought this machine second hand and I'm only starting to learn sewing, can't spend too much on servicing

TAILOR / DRESSMAKER WANTED I’m looking for an experienced, high-quality tailor or dressmake I’ve recently lost quite a bit of weight and have a number of high-quality dresses that now need to be taken in and altered. I’m looking for someone who is experienced with delicate/fitted dresses and can make sure the alterations look seamless and professionally finished. I’d also love to find someone who can make dresses from scratch, as I have some ideas for dresses I’d like made in the future. Ideally looking for someone who: • Has extensive experience with women’s clothing and formal/dress alterations • Is confident working with high-quality and delicate fabrics • Has excellent attention to detail • Can provide examples/photos of previous work • Is reasonably priced, but quality is more important than the cheapest price I have quite a few dresses to alter, so I’m hoping to find someone I can build an ongoing relationship with.

Hi! I am a vintage/up-cycle start up business that is in search of a tailor that has the ability to follow pattern pieces. I currently have an influx of old and new stuff that I would like to rework into new items and designs. I have a sewing machine however don’t have the hours to commit. Per item made. I will pay the maker per piece depending on complexity. To give example the first pieces I would like to create a dress from large shirts that I have on hand. I have purchased a pattern piece for this desired look and would be in search of someone who can articulate my design into a finished rework/upcycled piece. I would like to create a first range of around 10pieces to begin. So if you feel like you have the ability to meet the criteria then reach out to me and we can talk! The first few pieces will be quite simple in design. Thanks! -Talei
