What do seamstresses include?

Ready-to-wear clothes don’t always cut it. You may need a dress for a special occasion or an alteration to achieve a perfectly fitting suit. Or perhaps you simply need to repair a broken zip or mend a beloved garment. Whatever type of sewing you need, our platform connects you with nearby sewists who can do the task. Here’s a list of sewing services you can get done on Airtasker.  

Pattern cutting 

Pattern cutting is translating your design onto paper or digital form. The pattern serves as a template for creating wearable clothes. Achieve a bespoke dress that fits you perfectly, or create unique garments for your clothing business. Our platform helps you find local sewists with pattern cutting skills. Once your collection is ready, hire a model to pose in your clothes while a photographer takes amazing product photos for your website. 

Dressmaking 

You may find clothes you like, but the fit or size just doesn’t work for your body type. Or perhaps you have a dress in mind to wear to an event, but you can’t find it at shops near you. With the help of a dressmaker, you can still get the dress of your dreams. You can have a variety of clothes made, from midi dresses, ball gowns, to business suits.

Clothing repair 

We all have our go-to outfits, and it can be heartbreaking to find a tear or a hole in an irreplaceable piece of clothing. Maybe you bought that shirt abroad, had it custom-made, or splurged on that one expensive dress or jacket. No need to say goodbye to your beloved garment just yet! Instead, find a seamstress or seamster who can fix up your clothes, so they look as good as new. Taskers may even offer to dry-clean your dresses after the repair. 

Clothing alteration 

Some clothes may fit well, except for an awkwardly loose part around the shoulders. Or pants could have a flattering fit but are far too long for your height. With clothing alteration, you no longer have to settle for ill-fitting clothes. A nearby local seamstress can alter your clothes to create custom-fit garments, whether it’s a new suit that needs to be tailored or hand-me-downs that need to be shortened. After your alteration, have a Tasker iron your suit, and you’re good to go for your business event! 

Prom dressmaking 

Prom is an exciting time in a teenagers’ life. Most pretty dresses, though, can leave a big dent in your wallet. With Airtasker, you can look like the belle of the ball at prom with a dress that was made just for you. Please tell us how we can help you achieve your dream dress. Then, wait for offers from experienced sewists who can work with your design, budget, and schedule. Afterwards, find affordable yet professional hair stylists and makeup artists to do your hair and help you achieve the perfect evening look on prom night.

I have a shirt I love the fit of and would like someone to make me a couple more. I don't have a pattern. I would love to know how much it would cost to get this done. Apologies for the non-ironed shirt. It has three buttons up the side and is scooped front and back. Slightly longer at the back. Shoulder to hem front = 68cm. Shoulder to hem back =71cm. Its a relaxed fit. Width (underarm seam) across 63cm. Ideally the sleeves could be 3cm longer. I think its rayon.viscose and I would want this material again. Id like to find the fabric myself. Apologies for not including enough info at the start. Impulse Airtasker job due to my frustration at spending hours searching for this top or similar and not finding what I want.

Lizia is so easy to work with. She made me a top using my existing one as a guide and it fits like a dream. Professional, friendly and very good at communicating. Highly recommended seamstress.

Just bought a campervan and I’m looking for someone good with a sewing machine who can make me some curtains to fit in the van. I have the measurements and fabric already -‘I don’t need fastenings, curtain rods or brackets etc. 5 windows in total photographed in the same order as listed below - (1 & 2) x2 small framed side windows (3) 1 front to section off driver seats (4) 1 back and (5) 1 on sliding side door. 3 of the photos (1,2 & 3) show wooden dowels I will hang the curtains from, the other 2 doors are magnetetic under the gret felt so I’m just in the process of figuring that out - maybe sewing magnets into the top hem. Measurements are as follows: (1&2) 140 W x 48 L (3) 120 W x 90 L (4) 135 W x 70 L (5) 120 W x 120 L - Due date: Flexible
