I love the cushion covers Rachel made. Super neat, skillful sewing and consideration of details. They look beautiful!. The trouser alterations were also great, and she offered me good advice! It was easy to work with Rachel, she was flexible with my uncertain pickup time, which meant the job was handed over after the completion date. No problem. Highly recommend Rachel for this type of work. Thanks !!

Sew scout badges to shirt
$50
Griffith ACT, Australia
31st Dec 2024
My son has transitioned from Joeys to Cubs and has a shirt full of badges to be sewn onto the new Cubs shirt. Badges are mostly small (postage stamp sized), a few slightly larger. There is a specific layout to follow (to be provided). Badges need to be sewn on straight and firmly so they won’t come off in the washing machine. Roughly 12-13 badges to be done. Possibility for repeat tasks as badges accumulate and other kids progress through Scouts.
Very tidy finish, worked with me during the job to make sure everything was correct. Picked up and delivered promptly

Hello! I have a dress that I’d love to wear to a bridal shower this Sunday but it needs some alteration. It’s quite a boxy cut, and I’m happy for it to stay boxy, so I’m hoping it’s not too complicated to bring in both side seams so it’s smaller and perhaps the top shoulder seams so the drop waist sits slightly higher. Photo of the dress, and of the inside seams is attached. :)
