Seamstress who knows how to make pillow/cushion covers?

[Oscar2]

does anyone know where to go to have some cushion covers made? we have the cushions and the material but have not been able to find anyone who knows how to properly make them. we've tried 2 ladies but the first one who does our clothes for us for years and does a great job, seems like she doesn't know how to make cushion covers. we gave her one to do and it was terrible, very loose fitting. we want them nice and tight. another lady we tried actually stitched them on the outside and not on the inside. it looked very amateur. seems like cushion covers are not something routinely done by the ladies who repair clothes. we need to have 15 done right. thanks.

Go down chang moi to the basketware shops in the left.

The middle one.....same owner as the one just past bikers corner in left.

They sell the cane chairs, there is a lady who works for them who makes all the cushion covers.

We had four made for the big chairs, we went to warorot for the material and she made them,zips,ties and filling.....still going strong today.

Or you can but covers anywhere for 16,17,18, inch square.

Would you care to share details of the ladies that do clothes for you. We have found it very difficult to find someone who can produce a high standard of finish on alterations for trousers/pants/ skirts etc.

Thanks if you can help............

For cushions, we have found that shops that do curtains are better qualified or more skilled (or both). They are used to handling heavy fabrics and they and their support base have the sewing machines for that.
