Recent Tailors reviews in Brisbane

Today Angela has been awarded Australia’s best Sewer at the National Sewing championships. Angela took out the title with zero threat from the other participants..they never stood a chance with Angela taking out top place in all 4 categories! 1st place in efficiency 1st place in laid back and friendly attitude. 1st place in Dedication to the Needle and Thread 1st place in innovation and out of the box thinking. For anything requiring a needle, thread, cotton, thimbles, you definitely can’t ignore Angela. If you do you’re an idiot and your buttons will most likely fall off and your zipper snap. Hire her and have a cuppa with the national champion. (Extra $5 photo fee payable to me ) Seriously. She’s great. Nothing is an issue, non pressuring and no rework needed. Thanks Angela!

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.

When booking a clothes tailor near you through 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

Whether you need stitching near you or any alteration, Taskers can do most tailoring work and alter 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 by experienced tailors

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

Looking for a suit tailor near you for bespoke clothing? 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. 

No need to worry about going to a tailor shop near you - Taskers can provide the supplies, take your measurements and requests (or in the case of made-to-measure, let you choose a pattern), and assist 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!

Wanting a memory quilt sew from my child’s old baby & toddler clothes in a size to go on a single bed. I only have the uncut clothing, but can purchase the backing/wading/trim etc or please just include in your quotes. Set at $10 per Airtasker suggestion (thank you).

Annette is the absolute best. Highly recommend.

Adjust suit jacket

$80

Fortitude Valley QLD 4006, Australia

9th Jan 2025

Have a suit jacket that needs some adjustments. I kinda need someone who knows what I need cos I got no idea. The jacket is probably the best size I could get for a jacket off the shelf. Slightly a little large in some areas. I think it needs the arms shortened about 2cm. The waist and chest reduced a little. Perhaps even the shoulders need to come up for a perfect fit. I will add some pics with the jacket being worn soo .

Sew (or procure) and install privacy curtain for bathroom window

$40

Red Hill QLD, Australia

8th Dec 2024

Sew (or procure) and install by 4.30 pm today (we have a party at 5.30): One translucent or white (or otherwise reasonably low key or stylish) privacy curtain for a bathroom window. I’m thinking that a piece of elastic through the top hem and some little nails or screws to bang in for each side of the window to fasten it would be great. You only need to cover the bottom 2/3rds of the window, it’s fine to hang the curtain about 2/3rds of the way up. As per attached photo, the measurements of the inside of the frame left to right are 48cm. Top to bottom the inside of the frame is 87cm. Price is for your labour and travel - I will reimburse your materials separately and in addition.

Lovely lady and very passionate about helping others. Sewed me a much nicer curtain than I expected to get !
