Locally made Sewroo Ironing Board Covers

Sewroo’s renowned ironing board covers and peg bags came from humble market beginnings to become the sought after products they are today. All products stocked by Sewroo Products are made here in Australia. Our wash bags, bag bags, peg bags and of course ironing board covers are made right here in Olympic Circuit in Southport.
Many of the machinists we employ have been with us for a number of years, with our longest serving employee being with us for almost 8 years!

All of our products are made with care and a keen attention to detail. Quality is our number one concern and traditional ‘quotas’ and ‘piece rates’ have been replaced with a stringent quality checking process that maintains the high standard of products our customers are used to receiving.

Here is what some of our machinists have to say about what is the most important thing in sewing for Sewroo Products.

  • “Ensuring the quality withstands the punishment people give it,” Janet Sprott.
  • “The fact that it is Australian made,” Sue Beveridge.
  • “Quality,” Jo-Anne Pidd.
  • “Quality has got to be top,” Vicki Yorston.
  • “Always check your work to keep the high standards of quality up,” Carmen Tapper.

When we asked our employees what they like about working here at Sewroo Products, this is what some of them had to say.

  • “I like the variety of work we have, not too many boring moments. Management is fair and honest and really has their finger on the pulse,” Vicki Yorston.
  • “I really like the friendly atmosphere with lovely co-workers,” Carmen Tapper.
  • “Everything. I like to sew,” Janet Sprott.
  • “I like the comradery and we are always told what’s happening,” Sue Beveridge.
  • “The team work that we have here. We’re a small group and we all get along very well at the factory,” Jo-Anne Pidd.

So next time you purchase something from Sewroo Products, or use one of our products, take a moment to appreciate the attention to detail and care that has been taken by our team of talented machinists.
