Once you’ve accepted an offer, your Tasker can come by and deal with your clothing emergency. If you’re in no rush, go ahead and have a sewer fix up or restyle an old garment you love. You could even hire a Tasker to dry-clean a dusty coat or iron your clothes.
Clothing alteration
Sewers can alter clothes in many ways, such as adjusting the length of trousers or tightening a skirt around the waist. Sewing experts can also add features to a garment, whether it’s adding nifty pockets to a dress or sewing patches onto sleeves.
Clothing alteration is a great way to customise or update a garment to a wearer’s preference. Find sewing alteration services near you today by putting up a task and telling us what you need to be done.

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.

I would like to pay someone to teach my 20 year old daughter to sew basic clothes over 4 lessons, conducted on weekends. I would like her to be able to make two garments, with two lessons spent on each. I think that a couple of hours for each lesson would be good, and she can progress things between lessons. One or two friends might also choose to join the class. Looking for an experienced sewer who can lead through all elements, including using a pattern, sewing, adjustments and finishing. My daughter has her own machine.
