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.

Hi there! 😊 I’m looking to get 9 robes embroidered with names. The robes are made of a thin, soft material, so any style that works well and makes the names clearly visible is totally fine—nothing too fancy, just readable and cute! I can drop them off on August 6 and would need them ready by August 8. Let me know if that’s doable, and I’m happy to send photos of the robes if needed. Thanks so much! ✨

Duplicate a skirt - pattern making/ dressmaking/ seamstress

$500

Ashgrove QLD, Australia

12th Jul 2025

I have a skirt that I want recreated. I will give you the old skirt to pick it appart in order to make a pattern. I would like several more versions in different colours. The amount offered is for the cost of pattern making and producing the first copy. We renegotiate the cost for additional copies. The skirt includes pockets, lining, a section of elastic waistband and an invisible zipper. The fabric is a creaseproof synthetic non-stretch. If you can source the fabric that would be great, otherwise I will try to find something appropriate. I will provide additional money for the purchase of fabric.

Sew Pads into Sports Bras (10x) – Simple Fix Needed

$100

Red Hill QLD, Australia

12th Jun 2025

Every time I do the washing, I end up playing hide-and-seek with the pads in my sports bras — they twist, fold, or vanish entirely. I’d love someone to help me solve this once and for all by sewing down the three corners of the triangle pads in each bra so they stay put. There are approximately 10 sports bras, and I’m after a cost-effective solution — nothing fancy, just neat and functional stitching. Ideally, I’d love to drop them off locally (Brisbane area), but bonus points if you offer pickup/drop-off to save me the trip. Let me know your availability, experience with similar tasks, and a rough quote. Thanks!
