Asquith NSW, Australia

Looking for a friendly sewing buddy to help me create a beautiful calico sofa cover with pleats at the corners and edges. I will assist with pinning and sewing the piping lining. The sofa has a recliner part and a chaise, and I have tutorial videos to guide us along the way. You'll need your own sturdy machine to handle the calico layers, but I have pleating sewing machine feet if needed. The goal is to finish by the end of summer, and I'm happy to help, as I believe the pattern will be easy, even though it's a big 5-seat modular sofa. Let's sew together and make something beautiful! ☀️

Sew new bench cushion covers for my boat

$400

Cremorne NSW, Australia

3rd Jan 2024

I have recently bought an old sail boat. The bench seat cushions covers inside the boat are completely ruined. I have removed these covers and washed them. This is so they can be used as templates for new covers to be made. I will supply the new material and these covers for you to make new ones of the SAME SIZE. There are about 4 or 5 covers to be made. Their size is about 1.5m x 0.5m but they have a strange shape (being boat cushions). This is not a difficult job but you MUST have had textile experience to do them properly. You will need to use your own sewing machine. If the covers you make for me are of good quality I will pay you a bonus and get you to make another set for me. - Due date: Flexible
