Raycaster Posted May 2, 2016 Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 I have a cheap bimini top that I needed 6" wider to fit properly. So I cut it down the middle and bought some matching material to add a 6" strip in the middle. Its in the middle to avoid all tapers etc. and the easiest way for a quick sew job. Unfortunately my sisters sewing machine is in for repairs so she unable to sew it for me. Does anyone know of someone in the Hamilton/Burlington area that could do the job? The material is not thick, just plain tent material. (grey water resistant fabric) Not looking for a super duper fancy professional sewing operation, I'm not picky, just would like done in the next 2 weeks. If anyone knows someone good with a sewing machine that's interested just pm me and we can work out the $ details. I've included pic in case I have made it sound tougher than it is.

Freshtrax Posted May 2, 2016 Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 My wife could do it. But we are in Kitchener. She Made my mooring cover out of canvas so it shouldn't be an issue. Let me know . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cuzza Posted May 2, 2016 Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 There's a place called Designed4HomeandBoat on Lakeshore in Bronte that had a sign outside saying "boat tarp repairs" might be worth a go. They have a website www.Designed4HomeandBoat.com - I haven't use them, just saw the sign Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carp Posted May 2, 2016 Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 I read faster than my brain can process the information. Originally thought the title was " Have to widen bikini, anyone sew in the Hamilton area ? " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanD Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 Just a thought but maybe give "Stitch It" a call? http://stitchit.co/store-locator/ In their services listings, they say they do curtain alterations and leather; so they have the bigger machines. They might also be a bit cheaper then an upholstery shop? Dan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
