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

Sewing repair – microfiber items (cut & re-sew, 60 units trial)
$180
Noosa QLD, Australia
20th Mar 2026
Sewing repair – microfiber items (cut & re-sew, 60 units trial) I’m looking for someone experienced with a sewing machine to help repair a batch of high-quality microfiber items. The material itself is premium — the issue is with the stitching. The existing seams will need to be cut off and reworked, then re-sewn cleanly and consistently. Each seam section is approximately 10 cm long and involves attaching a strap into the seam. Scope (initial trial): 60 units to start Requires trimming/cutting edges before re-sewing Potential for ongoing work (1000+ units) if a good fit What’s required: - Cut/remove faulty stitched edges (wasting as little as possible of the fabric) - Re-sew seams neatly and consistently, with the strap securely attached into the seam - Maintain a clean, uniform finish across all items Looking for someone who: - Has experience working with thicker / plush fabrics - Can cut and rework materials cleanly (not just basic repairs) - Can produce consistent, high-quality stitching - Is reliable and detail-oriented - Has their own sewing machine (industrial preferred) Timing: Looking to get started ASAP Quick turnaround for the first batch is important, Location: Noosa / Sunshine Coast preferred Open to nearby areas Budget: Open to offers (per unit for the trial or total for the batch) This is paid work, with potential more work Happy to answer any questions — please include a bit about your experience when applying.

Seamstress for Lamp Shade Making (x3)
$100
Bondi Junction, New South Wales
19th Mar 2026
I'm looking for an experienced seamstress to assist in producing my lamps on an ongoing basis. They are constructed more like a garment than a traditional lamp shade production, as the panels are cut from a pattern, and the top and bottom seams are hand-stitched. They are large, and you would need studio space able to accommodate working on two floor lamps at a time. I'm offering $300 for the small and $425 for the medium floor lamp.

Seamstress needed
$200
Clyde North VIC, Australia
6th Mar 2026
Hi! I’m looking for a seamstress or clothing maker who can help create two custom tops by combining a flannel shirt and a graphic t-shirt. I’ve inserted photos of the inspo. I’ve already purchased the shirts, and they are currently coming in the mail. I’m mainly looking for someone experienced who can confirm the designs are possible and give a quote to complete them. Top 1: Use a flannel shirt for the sleeves and sides Use the graphic t-shirt for the centre/front panel Top 2: Mostly a flannel shirt Replace the back panel of the flannel with the graphic t-shirt design The goal is to keep the graphic visible while combining it with the flannel. Both the sizes should be a 3xl. I’m happy to: Drop the shirts off locally or post them if needed Looking for: Someone experienced with clothing alterations or garment construction Advice on whether the designs are feasible A quote for making both tops Location: Clyde north, but flexible if posting is easier. As mentioned, the shirts should be here next week and I want this completed before April 4th. Thanks!
Katherine was amazing, she did an incredible job at making my vision come to life. She was very professional and very communicative throughout the whole process and was amenable to complete the task from a different state. Would highly recommend her and her work! Thank you again Katherine!!

North Perth WA, Australia
20th Jan 2026
Hi, I’d like a person with embroidering experience to embroider a name on a bath towel. (A simple classic machine embroidery stitch.) This is not a logo, it is just a persons name. I’m advertising one on here but would have seven or more for you to do. I’m offering $15 each, but will also pay the Airtasker fee that you would normally pay. If you are in the Perth or Fremantle area, I am happy to drop the items to you. Look forward to hearing from you.
The absolute best! Cant speak highly enough of Meg and the job she did. Then you throw in top personality and great to deal with - seriously - don’t look further for embroidery! Megs the lady. Thank you Meg 🤩
