Can anyone sew?

I need a wee sewing job done. I have some parachute fabric (ripstop nylon) for use as a lighting diffuser for photography. I want to be able to fix it onto a DIY frame without having to clamp it on. What I need is for someone to stitch elastic around the edge so it can fit over the frame.. exactly like a fitted sheet!

Any reasonable price for the work.

Just kidding.. like I do anything else...

I need a few finished sizes of 1meter by 1meter.. not sure how many, probably 4.. plan is that I can join 1x1meter panels together to make larger sizes if needed.

Cheers!

LOL... sorry Kendal Laughing

Dave, yep Velcro might work but I want to be able to double up the material either side of the frame (32mm tubing) to improve the light diffusion because it's better then just doubling up the material without a gap. The 1st bit of material would cover the frame so the 2nd bit would have nothing to velcro on to. Plus, I want the material to pull tight over the frame so elastic springs to mind.

I'm definitely going to try velcro tomorrow though.. it might do the trick, and B&Q sell the stuff.
