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.

Movers have dropped my industrial jack a4s sewing machine on the stairs and parts have broken and foot pedal has disconnected and bent, when I push down on the pedal it doesn’t sew. I have a few deadlines this week so I’m hoping for some advice or more importantly a fix to get it doing again until I can replace the whole machine. Lights come on, but they’ve made some serious damage by dropping the machine upside down somehow.
