Diss, GBThe lady is nice but the work wasn't good, some of the covers are to big, but I understand why that was but 3 where to small and because she headed left enough hem on them and the fabric frays they have started to get holes in them after one use. Two that she made didn't fit at all so I had to take them back to her so that was with another 4 trips £80 more in petrol, she wasn't the cheapest price I got so I thought she would have done a better job, in the end it cost me a lot of money with me doing a lot of sewing myself so I am very disappointed and wont use this site again.

Hi Wendy, I'm glad you understand that they were going to be different. A few factors that have contributed to make the covers different from the existing ones were:
-The previous fabric was stiffer/thicker, different from the one provided, which was thinner;
-The previous covers had padding, a 05.mm foam padding will make a big difference in size and it was decided not to use;
-The previous covers back pieces were made of thick felt material, a non-stretchable fabric, very different from using polyester with 30% elastane.
It was a shame that all I had were the covers to copy, so I couldn't make any adjustments. For the small seam allowances, which were also copied from the previous ones, couldn't be bigger due to the material provided not been enough, that would compromise the making of all 13 covers (around 2meters each) and back covers with different shapes. For example, the 2 ones that were brought back with the foams where perctly fitted, as I had the foam seats to adjust. I would be happy to adjust the other so you could have all of them perfectly fitted, but I had only the request of 2. So not a chance to make you fully satisfied.
I'm sorry that £200.00 was too much to pay for the make of 13 covers with attached zippers all around. As my proposal was accepted within 1 minute of submission, with a 'That's great' comment, I thought you were happy with the price. Although it was one week worth of work, my intention wasn't to deceive you in any way.
I'm sure you are enjoying the covers for £15.38 each! : ) and in the future you can find someone that will meet all your requirements.
Good luck
