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.

Tailor for sewing help! Sew some bedsheets or pillow + bolster cases

$120

Waterloo, New South Wales

22nd Oct 2024

I recently got a large bed (super king) and accompanying that, some large bedsheets but because of some issues, I had to return the large bed and get a smaller bed (single). But unfortunately I was not allowed to return the bed sheets. I now have 4 super king bedsheets that are too large for my single bed and was hoping I can reuse it as either a smaller bed sheet or pillow + bolster cases because the material is actually comfortable and would be a waste not to be able to use it. I have no experience sewing so would love to get some help with that..? I can bring over the sheets and pick them up when done (if not too far) otherwise can ship it but might reduce how much I can pay Please ask for details and will send over pictures personally

Sew curtains for campervan

$80

Hillsdale NSW, Australia

I would like help sewing curtains for my van. Front window / behind drivers seats is 1350x90 single curtain that would roll up and be patched at the top. I would need the sewer to also know how to attach those little metal circles for they to hook the curtain to (see pics) I will provide all fabric and hardware. Back window needs curtains that draw to the sides of the van (see pic) along one of those small wires I will hook to each side. This one is 1250x70 in two pieces.

Faith was great, prompt and easy to communicate with. Happy with the van curtains!

Sewing x2 tie top curtains

$700

Sydney NSW, Australia

2nd Jul 2024

I need x2 tie top curtains made by this Sunday 7th July. Both are 2.5m high x 4m long and will need to tie on to the top horizontal beam of the curtain stands pictured. I want the beam totally obscured, so the ties will need to be on the back of the curtains rather than on top. (See reference image attached with pink fabric) I have purchased the material (VERY lightweight dressmaking corduroy) and can drop it off to your place to get started asap. (I am in Sydney CBD but can drive to anywhere in Sydney) I have bought 6m x 3m fabric for each curtain so they won’t be too voluminous or bulky. (Fabric comes in 1.12cm strips) Open to you taking the lead on what kind of pleats or gathers you think will work best for the material. I will need a tax receipt upon payment and can come and pick up finished product on Sunday. Please message if you have any questions
