Industrial Overlocker sewing machine repair

£100

Alameda Place, Greater London

30th Jul 2025

Juki MO-3600 (MO-3616) 5-Thread Overlocker Repair Needed – Urgent Hi there, I’m looking for someone experienced in industrial sewing machine repairs to fix my Juki MO-3600 (MO-3616) 5-thread overlocker. A section of the cloth waste cover has snapped off, and it seems to have knocked the needles out of alignment. As a result, the threads are no longer catching properly when stitching. This is a machine I use daily for my work, so I’m keen to get it repaired as soon as possible. I’m available anytime Monday to Friday and can be flexible to suit your schedule. Please see the attached images of the machine and the damaged part for reference. Looking forward to hearing from someone who can help! Thanks, Frederick

Sew new elastic waistband on cut dress to make skirt

£20

Thamesmead, Greater London

20th Jul 2025

I have a dress that I cut into a skirt, but I cut it below the original waistband seam, so it now needs some work to make it wearable. I need someone to create a new waistband so the skirt fits my size, add elastic (or another suitable method) to secure the waist comfortably, and finish or hem the raw edge so it looks neat and won’t fray. I still have the cut‑off piece of fabric if that helps. I don’t have a sewing machine or elastic, so you would need to bring tools and supplies or let me know what to buy. I’d like the finished waistband to be stretchy and comfortable.
