Recent Sewing reviews in Brisbane

Today Angela has been awarded Australia’s best Sewer at the National Sewing championships. Angela took out the title with zero threat from the other participants..they never stood a chance with Angela taking out top place in all 4 categories! 1st place in efficiency 1st place in laid back and friendly attitude. 1st place in Dedication to the Needle and Thread 1st place in innovation and out of the box thinking. For anything requiring a needle, thread, cotton, thimbles, you definitely can’t ignore Angela. If you do you’re an idiot and your buttons will most likely fall off and your zipper snap. Hire her and have a cuppa with the national champion. (Extra $5 photo fee payable to me ) Seriously. She’s great. Nothing is an issue, non pressuring and no rework needed. Thanks Angela!

Sew (or procure) and install privacy curtain for bathroom window

$40

Red Hill QLD, Australia

8th Dec 2024

Sew (or procure) and install by 4.30 pm today (we have a party at 5.30): One translucent or white (or otherwise reasonably low key or stylish) privacy curtain for a bathroom window. I’m thinking that a piece of elastic through the top hem and some little nails or screws to bang in for each side of the window to fasten it would be great. You only need to cover the bottom 2/3rds of the window, it’s fine to hang the curtain about 2/3rds of the way up. As per attached photo, the measurements of the inside of the frame left to right are 48cm. Top to bottom the inside of the frame is 87cm. Price is for your labour and travel - I will reimburse your materials separately and in addition.

Lovely lady and very passionate about helping others. Sewed me a much nicer curtain than I expected to get !
