What do sewing services include?
Sewing services include dressmaking, tailoring, and clothing alteration and repair. Our platform connects you with sewing experts for various items, such as prom dresses, trousers, jackets, and streetwear. Whether you need a jumpsuit made from scratch or a dress was taken up, you’ll find Taskers who can help. Here’s a list of sewing tasks you can get done through our platform.
Custom sewing
Hire a sewist who can create clothes for you based on a sketch, existing garment, or Pinterest inspiration. Bespoke dressmaking or tailoring lets you achieve the perfect fit and style. And you’re sure to have a one-of-a-kind garment you’ll love to wear for the years to come. Sewing experts can sew custom garments, including prom dresses, costumes, wedding dresses, and polo shirts.
If you run a small business, put up a task and find an experienced sewer who can produce your products, be it womenswear or small mittens. When your pieces are ready, a fashion photographer can take amazing photos of your clothes – ready for posting on Instagram!
Clothing repair
Sewists offer clothing repair services. They can fix a broken zip or sew on a button. No task is too small! Clothing repair also includes mending holes and stitching up linings. Discovered a rip on your dress, and your party is a few hours away? Put up a task and find nearby sewing services in minutes.
Once you’ve accepted an offer, your Tasker can come by and deal with your clothing emergency. If you’re in no rush, go ahead and have a sewer fix up or restyle an old garment you love. You could even hire a Tasker to dry-clean a dusty coat or iron your clothes.
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.
Upholstery and drapery sewing
Aside from clothing, sewing experts can work on upholstery, linens, and other items. Upholstery sewing includes sewing couch cushions and repairing zips on seat covers. You can also find local sewing machinists who sew pillow covers or curtains. Whatever you need, we’ll connect you with Taskers equipped to do the job.

Hem and sew fabric together to make a sheet
$150
Heathmont VIC, Australia
22nd Jan 2025
Im making two drapes for my son’s bed. I have a roll of cotton fabric 17.2 m long and 1m wide. I need it to be made into two pieces measuring 4.3x2m. This will require the fabric to be cut into 4 equal pieces (measuring 4.3m long each), then joining two of them together to make a wider piece for each drape. I then need the edges hemmed/sewn over to prevent fraying. I have attached pictures of my inspiration, the roll of fabric, and a diagram of what I want done (the diagram is of one drape, but I will need it done twice for 2 drapes). I live in Heathmont (eastern Melbourne, Australia)

Amazing! went out of her way to pick up and deliver the product to me via train - she completed it in record time and cheaper than many other offers - and she did a perfect job! Thank you! Would 100% use again and recommend to anyone!
