Top Sewing related questions
Taskers can sew any item for you, be it clothing, accessories, or upholstery. Sewing experts can make, repair, or alter fabric pieces, such as shirts, dresses, curtains, and seat covers. They can also add embellishments like embroidery onto clothes and other fabrics.
Taskers can help you with one-off sewing tasks or long-term sewing work. So whether you simply need a button sewn onto a blouse or a couple of mittens made for your business, Taskers can help! As long as a Tasker is available, you can get small or big tasks done.
You can either supply the sewing materials or have a sewing expert provide everything for the service. Tell us about your task, and we’ll connect you with sewers who’ll help ensure you get the perfect fabric or right colour of thread for your sewing task.
Sewing services may take anywhere from an hour to a couple of days. Lead times depend on Tasker availability and skill, as well as the nature of the task. For example, mending a rip may take a few minutes, while making a wedding dress may take up to 9 months. But if you have an urgent sewing request, no worries! Just tell us what you need, and available Taskers can start reaching out to you.
Yes. Dressmakers and seamstresses have overlapping skills, but they differ in certain skill sets. In general, dressmakers specialise in making dresses. What’s more, dressmakers tend to have a wider range of skills, from designing a dress to putting fabrics together. Meanwhile, seamstresses or seamsters are considered a “jack of all trades” in sewing. Their main task is to sew garments together.
Yes, we can help you find same-day sewing services. If you’re in a rush, simply tell us how soon you need the sewing service. We’ll then connect you with available sewing services near you. Nearby sewing services can come over as soon as possible and even sew your garment on-site. But if you’re busy running errands, your Tasker can instead pick up your item and bring it back to you once it’s repaired or altered.

Create Coffee-Cup Holder Coats: We need 2x green parkas turned into coffee-cup carrying coats inspired by the design in the attached photo. Materials Provided: 1. 2 x green parkas (100% polyamide). 2. Wide green elastic band (75mm wide, 2 yards per coat). 3. Sewing materials (needle, thread, scissors). Let me know if you need an electric sewing machine. Instructions: 1. Arrange 3–5 elastic loops per row on the coat. Stagger the rows evenly across the front and mark placements before sewing. 2. Cut the elastic into pieces to fit snugly around a coffee cup. Seal the ends (use a lighter or heat sealer if needed to prevent fraying). 3. Sew each elastic loop securely at the top and bottom, ensuring it holds the cups firmly. 4. Check all loops to ensure they’re secure and trim any excess thread for a clean finish. Estimated Time for Machine sewing: ~2 hours per coat. Let me know if you need extra materials or clarification!
