$400
Southbank VIC, Australia
2nd Jul 2025
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.

Garment alterations and sewing assistance
$175
East Melbourne VIC, Australia
15th Jan 2025
I would like an experienced seamstress/sewist to help me alter, repair and sew some garments, and help me learn more about dressmaking. Starting with a 3 hour session, with the potential for ongoing work. Ideally, you will: - be friendly and patient and a clear teacher with actionable advice - be able to bring your own sewing machine. I have one, but its very old, and I'd prefer if we could work simultaneously.* - have experience making dance costumes and gowns - understand fabrics and have experience sewing with challenging materials - be able to give advice on choosing fabrics - understand how to adjust and create garments for mid-size, curvy, petite women. - be happy to work in a house with a cat. The budget I am setting includes $50 per hour for 3 hours, plus $25 for bringing a sewing machine and any basic equipment. If you are not able to bring these tools, please reflect that in your offer. *Note: I have needles, thread, scissors, bobbins, measuring tape, some patterns and practice fabrics and some other basics, but no chalk. If you want to bring anything along that would help it would be much appreciated!

Meha was wonderful! Very reliable, knowledgeable and friendly!
