What do clothing repair services include?

You don’t have to give up a favourite shirt or dress just because of a hole, rip, or fit issue. Instead, have a local clothing repair expert fix or alter your garment. A clothing repair expert can have a look at your item and repair it using various sewing techniques. Here are different ways sewers can improve your old or damaged clothing. 

 

Garment repair

Repairing a garment can involve sewing a seam, button, or new lining onto the fabric. Whether your jumper has suffered wear and tear, or your vest has some moth holes, a Tasker may be able to repair it. If you have a garment you’d still love to wear, avail a nearby clothing repair expert today. Taskers may also hand-wash or dry-clean the clothes for you, so they look like you just bought them from the store. 

 

Clothing alterations 

Your clothing preferences or body shape may change over time. Clothing alteration ensures your clothes match your ever-changing needs. Sewing experts offer all kinds of alterations, from shortening a dress to altering school uniforms for your growing kids. Other examples of clothing alteration include tightening a skirt around the waist and taking seams in or out. Request for any type of clothing alteration, and connect with Taskers who can get it done. 

 

Zipper repair and replacement 

Zipper experts can partially or fully repair a zip on a jacket, dress, bag, and leather pieces, among other items. For minor zip damage, a specialist can simply fix the zipper slider or stop. Or if the entire zip is broken, you can have it replaced with a similar zipper. Find zipper repair and replacement services in minutes by putting up a task on our platform. 

 

Invisible mending 

Invisible mending is a creative way to fix up a snag, burn, or accidental scissor cut on a garment or piece of upholstery. This sewing method involves rebuilding a cloth using a part of the same fabric. Search for skilled sewers near you by putting up a task for this complicated clothing repair method. Airtasker connects you with rated and reviewed experts for any sewing task you need doing.  

 

Embroidery for clothing repair 

Embroidery can turn a clothing tragedy into a beautiful work of art. A sewing expert can mend any type of fabric damage, whether it’s a hole in your favourite jumper or a stain on your go-to party dress. As no two holes are the same, clothing repair by embroidery can bring you impressive results.

I need a seamstress or someone handy with a needle and thread to do some small fixes on 7 pieces of clothing (2 items not photo graphed: a pair of black pants that needs one of its front pocket linings stitched and a white dress with stuck zipper that needs fixing/replacing). They aren’t expensive items, I just like them and want them to be wearable again. The dress in the last photo has very flimsy buttons. Either need these re-stitched securely or replaced for more sturdy basic black buttons. If you live locally I can drop off to you. Must supply the materials. Thank you, Elly :)

1. Point at base of my Bomber jackets (x2) has become detached through use. It needs to be securely re-fastened on both jackets. 2. The collar & cuffs of my cotton Bomber / Harrington (?) jacket have become worn. Would it be possible to overlay the worn areas with a sort of piping / patch that complements the overall colour of the jacket (light blue).

Outstanding work. Developed a solution for my clothing issues (which no one else had the ability or motivation to do). Highly recommended.
