I'm just sorry I am too far away.

I learned to make things from scratch, like my grandmothers did. To have something already cut out ought to be a doddle.

How about contacting the local news papers and asking if they will put out a plea for help - there might be some retired person with the required skills who would do a one off.

I knew a dress maker who often had people shrieking at her to get their dresses made months or weeks in advance, and when she gave in they were then coming back to have them altered at the last minute as all the stress, or the advancing pregnancy had caused their shape and size to alter.

She preferred to work on the dresses just once, just before they were needed - so there is still hope if you can find the right person.
