Someone who can sew!

$20

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 !!
