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.

Sew a new sofa cover

Brighton VIC, Australia

Calling all upholstered / sewing magicians! The fabric of our sofa has seen better days and we would like to have a removable cover made for it, one that we could take off and put in the washing machine. The couch has some interesting corners etc.. so I think it'll be best if you come here to take measurements. Your offer should include: - measuring the couch in Brighton - making a cover with fixing underneath (velcro?) - can be 1 big cover or 2 seperate ones (the couch consists out of 2 parts) - 2 cushion covers, 50 x 100 cm Your offer does not include: - fabric We can discuss fabric option and maybe it'll be more interesting if you purchase it. I have found an option at Warwick. Thank you!

Clyde North VIC, Australia
29th Mar 2024
Hi Guys, The job is to cut out and sew 11 modal fabric patch pockets to the left-hand side of nightshirt made of the same. The purpose of the pocket is to hold a mobile phone. The pocket's left edge starts 100mm from the left side seam toward the front, 375mm above hem. The internal dimensions of the pocket are to be 100mm wide by 130mm high. I will supply the nightshirts and material, you will provide the light grey thread. Similar to the existing top pocket, I do not want the pocket to bunch up or droop. See image as a guidance. John.
May did a somewhat unusual sewing task for me involving multiple garments. She understood what was required and made sure it worked by offering a better solution than the one I proposed. May not only did the job but thought it through to provide me with the best result. I would highly recommend May to others.

Sewing and alterations on female clothing
$100

I have a number of items that need some basic sewing work, as follows: - reattach a spagetti strap on one dress that broke - reattach the waste tie on a jumpsuit that broke - restitch the hem on a dress that came undone - restitch the seam on a blazer arm sleeve that came undone - stitch on clasps/buttons onto 3 dresses so they are less gaping at the cleavage All in all there are 7 pieces of clothing but all of the works are quite minor. There is no cutting of fabrics required, just stitching. Where there are items that I am asking for clasps to be added, I have purchased and will provide the clasps.
Amazing! Thank you so much Elena! Such a great job.
