Desired Properties of finished product: - Professional table top surface that lays flat, feels smooth, stable with a slight spring in touch. - Minimal wrinkling, fabric shifting and sagging during gameplay - Reversible, soft, and well-balanced - Endures multiple people playing with cards and chips across an evening, (any additional ongoing use would be amazing) Flexible on price, open to creative direction

Sewing of flags

$150

Werribee VIC 3030, Australia

7th May 2025

I need to have 11 flags sewn. I have the materials and just need them sewn together. They need to be block colours - ie blue at the top, red and then yellow. They also need to have a 35mm pocket on the side to insert a pole. They are only for the football so they dont need to be perfect. They would be as follows. 5 X horizontal blue at the top, red middle, 6 X vertical blue on the left, red middle and yellow right. The photo attached with the circled image highlights roughly what they would look like. I’ve closed the material together to show how to sue them but it doesn’t need to be anything too great. I am happy to meet to drop off the material and ideally I would like it completed in about a week

Hi, I’ve been gifted my great grandmothers singer sewing machine from the 60-70s . My mother knows how to sew but we love to far away from each other, I need someone to help me in person.
