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.

Weaving/sewing in the ends of my knitted shawl

$25

Braddon ACT, Australia

21st May 2026

I love knitting but absolutely hate weaving/sewing in the ends of the yarn at the end. I have a shawl I knitted last year and I still haven’t brought myself to be able to sew in the rest of the yarns ends on it. Turn my pain into your gain! If you are a knitter who doesn’t hate this task as much as I do, then I’d love to pay you to do this arduous task for me. I’m happy for you to pick up the shawl to complete the task or I can drop it to you anywhere around Canberra. It is a very large shawl (takes up my entire 3 seater sofa) but there are only a handful of ends to sew in from where I started new balls of yarn, and where I cast on and off the work - I would say no more than 10-12 yarns ends that need sewing/weaving in.

Dionne was the ideal person for my task. She communicates well and was flexible with timing. Her work was speedy and accurate. 10/10 would recommend.

18th May 2026

5 patches to be removed from old PU jacket and sewed in to the new PU bomber jacket. Can also drop off and pick up at your place so it's easier for you depending on your location :)

Claire did an amazing job putting the embroidered patches on my PU jacket. She finished everything within a day and the quality was great. She was also really sweet and easy to deal with throughout the whole process. I really appreciated that she drove all the way to pick up and drop off my jacket as well. Highly recommend her if you need someone reliable and thoughtful. ☺️

My eyesight is not the best, even with glasses and a magnifying glass and I struggle to thread the cotton through the eyehole of the needle on the machine. I get mose upset with myself because I cant see what Im doing. Would someone with much much better eyesight be able to come and thread it for me? I have a Brother Sewing Machine and for the life I dont know what model it is, but the Operation Manual book that I have is for the Product Code: 888-V14 Someone with sewing experience please and has been sewing for a long time and also knows Brother sewing machines.

Lovely to deal with and exactly what I needed. I struggle with my eyesight and threading a sewing machine needle is just beyond me — she sorted it quickly and was an absolute pleasure. 100% recommend. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Seamstress for copying some traditional Greek dresses

$200

Bulleen VIC 3105, Australia

16th Apr 2026

Hi there, I’m looking for an experienced seamstress or dressmaker to replicate a traditional Greek dress. I have an original garment available to use as a reference/template. The dress is a long, pleated style with an inner lining, so experience with pleating and structured garments is highly preferred. This project is for a not-for-profit cultural dance group, so we are mindful of cost. We’re looking to start with one piece as a test run, ideally completed as soon as possible. If the quality and pricing are right, we would then proceed with a series of dresses in various sizes to be completed by early June. Details: Strong attention to detail required Ability to closely match the original design and fit Open to discussing whether you or we source the fabrics Please reach out with examples of previous work and an indication of pricing. Thanks in advance!

Asa was very easy to work with, easy to communicate and organise a time to meet and completed the dress required well ahead of time. Definitely recommended. Thank you
