Sewing baby clothing
$150
Melbourne City Centre VIC, Australia
24th May 2026
Hi, I already have the patterns cut and am looking for someone to help me with the sewing side of things. I sew myself as well, but the workload has become a little too much for me to manage alone, so I’m hoping to find someone reliable to help share the load. The role would be around 6 hours per week and could be done either from my home in Viewbank or from our Victoria Market store. I use Janome domestic sewing machines and an overlocker. At the moment I’m mainly looking to build up stock of: Pants from 0–3 months to 2–3 years Beanies from 0–3 months to 6–12 months Dribble bibs Scarves The sewing itself is not overly difficult — there is just quite a lot to get through. If this is something you would be interested in please contact me.
N-Home Sewing Tutor & Seamstress (Alterations + Teaching)
$150
Southbank VIC, Australia
16th May 2026
I am looking for a skilled, patient seamstress or tailor to come to my home for a 2.5 to 3-hour session. I have my own sewing machine and a pile of clothes that need altering. I know the basics of sewing, but I need professional help to get my confidence up. Here is what we will do together: * Do It For Me: There are a few precious, important pieces of clothing that I am too scared to ruin. I would love for you to alter these while I watch and learn your techniques. * Teach Me: For the rest of the session, I want you to hold my hand and guide me while I alter the easier pieces on my own machine. Basically, I need you to train me and build my confidence! Requirements: * Must have real experience with clothing alterations. * Patient, encouraging, and good at explaining things. * Happy to travel to my house and use my machine. If this sounds like a fun project for you, let me know! I am looking to get this done soon.
Highly recommend. Punctual, efficient, and a clear communicator. I hired her for basic alterations, but her creative ideas elevated the project. We focused on design development—fitting and shaping garments directly on the body for a flawless fit. She is also an excellent teacher who taught me how to sew my own pieces. A highly professional experience. I will absolutely hire her again.
