Any sewing machinists on here or in your family?

Hi Im looking at getting something run up on a sewing machine.
Does anyone on here or your other half, aunt, uncle, brother, sister undertake such work?

Its basically the fabric part of a stretcher type bed to sit across the front seats of a van so that a nipper can sleep in there when the adults are sleeping in the back.

its the sort of think on this link.

HERE

I have made the frame so can supply dimensions etc

Thanks
Colin

Not an answer to your question but....
I was shocked at the cost of strong material when I was making the bunks for the back of my ambulance so I bought a couple of new old stock alluminium folding stretchers and shortened them. To fit across the back of the ambulance I just unbolted the handles but the canvas slides out of the ally poles so you can cut the poles down to suit your space.
The ones I bought are the same as this:
British Army Issue Folding Aluminium &' Nylon Heavy Duty Rescue Stretcher Grade A

But the ones I got were £16 each and came from:

They have none listed at the moment but it may be worth asking them?
