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.

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

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

Amazing ! Highly reccomend
