Angela completed the task of making two cushion covers from fabric I imported to match an existing blind and did a lovely job. Prior to taking on the project she was able to discuss the details in a way that indicated she had a clear understanding of the requirements. This gave me confidence to proceed and I am very happy with the result. Thank-you Angela

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 lesson(s)
$250
Hawthorn East, Victoria
15th Dec 2025
I would love to learn how to properly alter my clothes. I'm 4'11" so I have to spend so much extra money on getting my clothing taken up and re hemmed, or having dresses taken around the waist, or shortening straps etc. I'm looking for a patient, experienced seamstress to teach me at least the basics in altering clothing. I am at an absolute beginner level in term of my current sewing skills- I can thread my machine and have made a couple of basic crafts (tote bag, toiletries case etc) but otherwise not very confident in my skills at this stage Please note: I am a neurodivergent and anxious person, I am looking for a teacher who is patient and won't get frustrated by me asking questions or having to clarify/repeat instructions. I understand we may not be able to cover everything in one lesson, so I'm open to doing two separate lessons if that is necessary
