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.

Seamstress to dress a golf simulator

$500

Mount Pleasant WA, Australia

12th Nov 2025

I have built a golf simulator that I would like to 'wrap' in a black curtain material. I have tried to do it myself but it is very difficult and I think it would be best to have someone come in and make what is required to fit it properly. The simulator is 3.3m tall (Left side), 2.2m tall (right side) and 3m wide with a 1m depth. I imagine there would be 4 components: Left Side Curtain Right Side Curtain Top Fitted Cover Front cover (to cover the backing screen) I think this does require some more discussion and a visit to see the project. I have also attached some photos of what it would ideally look like.

I have ordered the batting, the backing and some blanket trim today and would really like a quote on somebody who knows what they are doing, putting everything together professionally. I would like to gift it to my daughter for Christmas before they go away. Thanks in advance.

Sew covers for these cushions.

$100

Fletcher NSW, Australia

29th Oct 2025

I would like someone to sew new covers for these cushions. I have the material and the longest cover is 140cm x 50cm. I can take the green ones off for you to use as a guide. Zippers aren’t necessary and the workmanship doesn’t have to be amazing - just the front facing parts need to look tidy and they need to sit flush with each other.

Amazing craftsmanship. Quick and outstanding service. Highly recommend 😊

Sewing neck labels into T-shirts

$10

Geebung QLD, Australia

25th Oct 2025

Wanting someone to help with the task of unpicking stitching, removing current label, then sewing in a new one. My small business is growing and needing some tasks taken off my hands. Can be a once off or ongoing (preferred). I have 300+ tees currently but order more weekly. Pay = $1.20 per tee completed. The first few might take a bit to work out but once you get into it it’s super easy and takes 1-2mins to complete one. Beginner friendly - simple unstitching then sewing straight line!! Experience in sewing preferred.

Very on to it and efficient - would recommend to anyone!

Need a seamstress to adjust a chiffon outfit

$180

Victoria Park WA 6100, Australia

22nd Oct 2025

I have a chiffon set I need customised. I want the skirt taken up and the slit made slightly bigger. For the top I’m wanting the button clasps removed from the back of the top, and wondering if extra fabric from the skirt could be used to make the back of the top a tie up top, instead of buttons? (Photo attached of the brown top that has the tied up look at the back)

Preet was an absolute pleasure to deal with! I had an outfit I needed customised: button closure turned into straps & a skirt taken up and everything turned out better than expected! Highly recommend Preet to anyone looking for a seamstress
