Clothing alteration 

Sewers can alter clothes in many ways, such as adjusting the length of trousers or tightening a skirt around the waist. Sewing experts can also add features to a garment, whether it’s adding nifty pockets to a dress or sewing patches onto sleeves. 

Clothing alteration is a great way to customise or update a garment to a wearer’s preference. Find sewing alteration services near you today by putting up a task and telling us what you need to be done.

Please sew the sides of a tunic that have been cut badly.

$30

Battery Point TAS, Australia

24th Sep 2024

I have a big top in a tunic style. I have cut it on both sides at the seams to make a tunic, however it didn't go very well. I'd like to have the sides hemmed so it looks neater, but still leave both sides open from the waist down. Please refer to photos. I made some mistakes cutting this. You don't have to fix the holes, just cut away the fabric so it's even. This is for a costume, and I will wear a shirt underneath. Thank you! Please let me know if you can fix it. :)

Thanks again! Appreciate this tasker's excellent communication.

Sewing caravan curtains

$300

New Town TAS, Australia

27th Mar 2024

I need blackout curtains sewed for our caravan. There are five windows. I have the fabric, which is printed cotton and I also have the blackout lining - so you’ll need to sew the two together before hemming. The curtain tops are rings with clips so it’s just a simple hem all around, with the exception of one window which will need a basic pocket rod hem on the bottom. I have all the dimensions and can drop the fabric to you (within reason - we are in New Town)

Kim was absolutely wonderful seeing curtains for my caravan! she came over to measure up, was extremely polite and friendly and nothing was a problem. Her sewing was spot on and she was super quick too! highly recommend and already have more jobs lined up for her to do. Thanks Kim!

Sew/ create a quilt from existing fabrics

$50

Hobart TAS, Australia

5th Sep 2022

Hi, so my mum did some cross stitch designs on various pieces of my sons clothing. Cute little designs like bears and boats on jackets jumpers t shirts etc. My son has outgrown many of the clothes but I don’t want to discard the items for sentimental reasons. I am hoping to cut the cross stitch areas out and make a blanket/quilt out of all the different designs. I think I would probably need a seperate backing and then have the designs sewn on. It’s a bit hard to explain but I will pick out the colours and cut out the designs so it would just be sewing/stitching the designs, maybe 10-20 or so. - Due date: Flexible
