What does a tailor do?
This service covers tailoring, clothing alterations, and sometimes even repair for different kinds of garments. This includes men’s suits, women’s coats, trousers, wedding dresses, and even down jackets. In the case of made-to-measure and bespoke tailoring, your wardrobe will show off your personality and fit your lifestyle in a way that off-the-rack can’t match.
And when you book your clothes tailor on our platform, you get some great added perks, such as picking a reviewed and rated tailor in your area, having a tailor go to your home or office, and working within your budget! Do note that some details may vary depending on the tailor you hire, so make sure that your task post is as detailed as possible.
Alteration tailor near you
Most tailoring work includes altering a garment to fit you better. If you plan to get an off-the-rack item and take it to clothing alterations near you, it’s best to choose a size that fits the widest point of your body. From there, your local tailor will take in or cinch the rest of the item. Tailors can also make sleeves or pant legs slimmer, adjust the straps and bust darts of a dress, shorten the sleeves of a shirt, add the lining, and add buttons or hook-and-eye clasps.
On the other hand, a tailor cannot make a garment bigger or longer. They also can’t fix a bad shoulder fit on a jacket or coat. Also, it is inadvisable to let out the stitches in fabrics like linen, cotton, and silk, since holes will show.
Clothing repair
Most local tailors near you can also repair clothing. This can mean fixing a zipper, stopping a hem from fraying, repairing a rip, or reweaving a hole. When you book a clothing tailor near you to repair your item, they’ll tell you if the item can still be repaired, and what the risks (and cost) of the repair would be. They can also offer advice on how to better care for your clothing or avoid further damage, such as using a mesh bag in the laundry for your more delicate items or getting your clothes dry-cleaned instead.
Made-to-measure and bespoke tailoring
Tailoring or altering your off-the-rack garment is a fast and affordable way to make clothes fit you better. But if you want your wardrobe to fit you to a T, made-to-measure or bespoke tailoring is the way to go. While these services are offered at tailor shops near you, Airtasker lets you book a bespoke tailor who can go to your home or office.
Your Tasker brings the supplies, takes your measurements and requests (or in the case of made-to-measure, lets you choose a pattern), and assists you with the fittings! This service saves time while still making sure you look stunning at that upcoming event - skilled Taskers can help you with planning for the big day as well!

Suit jacket alteration to make it tailored to my body
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

Someone with capable sewing skills as needed to help with alterations for mardi gras costumes. Alterations need to be done on pre-bought shorts and woman's tops to make them more fitted for the event. Basically just taking in the length of the shorts for certain people and making them a little more fitted. Roughly over 20-30 garments (shorts and boxing robes probably need alterations. Need to be based close the survey hills. $25 per item not hour.
Harry was absolutely amazing. He was able to turn up last minute when we needed help with around 10 to 15 alterations on costumes for Mardi Gras. Everyone was extremely happy with his work and how he fitted the costumes perfectly to each participant. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an amazing tailor/alterator/seamstress.
