Sewing / mending, pick up from Windsor
$85
Windsor VIC, Australia
22nd May 2024
Hello AirTaskers :) Have some garments that each need something small mended; - secure a loose button - fix hole in a coat pocket - fix seam (x3)(small rip in 2 items, and a small section has come undone in the third) - shorten sleeves on a new long sleeve t-shirt - add a simple fastener to a parka (a press stud would be perfect but open to suggestions) Date for collection and drop off back to Windsor is flexible, and time needed to complete the task is also flexible - except for the parka, need that back quick! (could be done onsite at pick up) Interested? Let's chat!
May was really lovely to deal with; accommodating & finished quicker than expected :)
