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.  

Pattern cutting 

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. 

Dressmaking 

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 repair 

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. 

Clothing alteration 

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! 

Prom dressmaking 

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.

I’d like help sewing a costume.

I’d like help sewing a costume for a medieval fair event in May. I can’t sew myself,but I have purchased a ‘mages coat’ pattern, which I’d be happy to share in full once I’ve agreed on a price and timeline for this project. I’ll need the taskers help getting my measurements and selecting the right type of fabric, which I can purchase and deliver to them for sewing. This is the listing of the pattern I’d like made: https://www.etsy.com/au/listing/1464993349/mage-coat-pattern-pdf-file-with-sewing?sh_rv=1&ref=shop_home_active_2&pro=1&sts=1&logging_key=649f9c8cf1280fb1a6415de9168e09e009be9df6%3A1464993349

$200

I’m looking for someone who can come over with their sewing machine and adjust the length of these curtains. There are four windows in total (2 are approx. 3.2m, 1 is approx 2m and 1 is approx 1m in length). I would prefer this to be done on site to keep the curtains hung if possible. If they can’t be sewn while hung we can take them off, but I would prefer this to be done at my house rather than someone taking the curtains home. Thank you!

I have a floor length green dress, and as you can see in the photos the sleeves are too tight around the bicep. I’m hoping there is a way you could increase their size, possibly by adding extra fabric taken from the length of the dress. I would also like to elasticate the cuffs

Seamstress - To take up school skirt and polo shirt

$20

Mermaid Beach QLD, Australia

17th Mar 2025

Have a pleated school skirt and a polo shirt to be taken up ready to start school on Thursday. Thankyouuu

A day and a half before the first day of high school, and we were stuck with a skirt longer than a nun’s—with no seamstress in sight! Either they were too busy or way too expensive. Then this beautiful soul came in and saved the day! From drop-off to finished in less than half a day—and she did an amazing job! Thank you! 🙏 If any Tasker is looking for someone honest, reliable, and with a ‘can-do, does-do’ attitude, send your cash this way!
