Hackett ACT 2602, Australia

Howdy folks. Looking for someone to sew two dust covers for electronic items. The items in questions are Coolscan 8000 ED and a Pakon 135+ film scanners. The covers will be fairly simple, basically a box with one side open. I can provide the material for the covers, which is polyester with a PVC coating. Slightly thicker than normal fabric. It might require a somewhat specialised sewing machine but with zero experience sewing I'm not sure if that's the case. Dimensions can be provided and/or you can take measurements of the scanners in person if you’d like. Located in Hackett ACT. Covers should look something like the attached photos. Thanks - Due date: Flexible
