What do seamstresses include?
Ready-to-wear clothes don’t always cut it. You may need a dress for a special occasion or an alteration to achieve a perfectly fitting suit. Or perhaps you simply need to repair a broken zip or mend a beloved garment. Whatever type of sewing you need, our platform connects you with nearby sewists who can do the task. Here’s a list of sewing services you can get done on Airtasker. Â
Pattern cuttingÂ
Pattern cutting is translating your design onto paper or digital form. The pattern serves as a template for creating wearable clothes. Achieve a bespoke dress that fits you perfectly, or create unique garments for your clothing business. Our platform helps you find local sewists with pattern cutting skills. Once your collection is ready, hire a model to pose in your clothes while a photographer takes amazing product photos for your website.Â
DressmakingÂ
You may find clothes you like, but the fit or size just doesn’t work for your body type. Or perhaps you have a dress in mind to wear to an event, but you can’t find it at shops near you. With the help of a dressmaker, you can still get the dress of your dreams. You can have a variety of clothes made, from midi dresses, ball gowns, to business suits.
Clothing repairÂ
We all have our go-to outfits, and it can be heartbreaking to find a tear or a hole in an irreplaceable piece of clothing. Maybe you bought that shirt abroad, had it custom-made, or splurged on that one expensive dress or jacket. No need to say goodbye to your beloved garment just yet! Instead, find a seamstress or seamster who can fix up your clothes, so they look as good as new. Taskers may even offer to dry-clean your dresses after the repair.Â
Clothing alterationÂ
Some clothes may fit well, except for an awkwardly loose part around the shoulders. Or pants could have a flattering fit but are far too long for your height. With clothing alteration, you no longer have to settle for ill-fitting clothes. A nearby local seamstress can alter your clothes to create custom-fit garments, whether it’s a new suit that needs to be tailored or hand-me-downs that need to be shortened. After your alteration, have a Tasker iron your suit, and you’re good to go for your business event!Â
Prom dressmakingÂ
Prom is an exciting time in a teenagers’ life. Most pretty dresses, though, can leave a big dent in your wallet. With Airtasker, you can look like the belle of the ball at prom with a dress that was made just for you. Please tell us how we can help you achieve your dream dress. Then, wait for offers from experienced sewists who can work with your design, budget, and schedule. Afterwards, find affordable yet professional hair stylists and makeup artists to do your hair and help you achieve the perfect evening look on prom night.Â

Sew Velcro onto Fly Screen Mesh Material
$80
Zetland NSW 2017, Australia
8th Oct 2025
I’ve got two fly screen panels with Velcro temporarily held in place by safety pins. I need someone to sew the Velcro strips securely onto the fly screen material so they’re neat and durable. • Each panel needs one Velcro strip sewn on (about 2 metres long each). • The Velcro is already positioned — it just needs to be stitched down the length. • All materials (fly screens + Velcro) are provided. Ideally, you’ll have your own sewing machine and can bring it with you to do the job on site. That way it’s quick, easy, and saves moving the fly screens around. This should be a straightforward task for anyone experienced with sewing machines, and it will make a big difference to the screens being properly usable

Custom dress making with existing dress (major alterations)
$5
Sydney, New South Wales
16th Sep 2025
I have a dress that I absolutely love the entire back, and the colour, but the front of the top part is not very flattering for me. I tried to take it to my usual alterations lady but she said (and I agree) this job is going more into custom dress-making territory. As such I am looking for a Sydney-based dress-maker / seamstress who would like to take on this challenge. I have some ideas but am not fixed on what I’d like the front to look like, I am really happy to be flexible and guided by your experience. I need the dress to be hemmed while we are at it, so that also gives us some extra fabric to work with. Budget for consultation Many thanks


Jiya is exactly what I needed… someone show will take on the challenge that other tailors said would be too hard. Thank you Jiya xx

Sewing/hemming large piece of fabric
$100
Fisher ACT, Australia
27th Aug 2025
Hemming a large piece of satin fabric that will be used to drape over a four poster bed as a canopy. Fabric is 1.5m x 6.5m. The hem needs to be a rolled hem or similar as the inside of the fabric will also be showing. See picture for example of how fabric will drape over the bed frame. Pictures of fabric also provided.


Katherine was terrific to deal with. She was great at communicating how we could get the result I was after, giving me confidence at every stage. Katherine shared photos of different ways the fabric could be finished and clearly explained the options - this was very useful as I know next to nothing about sewing! Overall it was a positive experience and beautiful result.
