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.

$100

Eltham VIC, Australia

Sew a few stretch knit items. I can come to you. Based on old ones that I’ve liked but which can be pulled apart for patterns. Nothing particularly complicated but I never seem to get it done. I’m happy to do cutting out or such if it makes things easier. I put $100 but can go up or down on that depending on what you think you can do

Tailor / Dressmaker

Heidelberg VIC 3084, Australia

9th Jul 2026

I am keen to have some old clothes duplicated in new fabrics. If we work well together there is strong likelihood of ongoing work including general mending and dressmaking. The initial garment will be taking a pair of pants Elizabeth Petite Belted Tapered Pants Forever New (size tbd) purchasing and duplicating these in a new fabric (I believe it is a viscose blend). If this goes well I will purchase multiples. Estimating total cost including consultation time fabric purchase sewing and tailoring to be $170.

Need an embroider

$200

Bundoora VIC 3083, Australia

10th Apr 2026

I want to do embroidery on a couple of hoodies as an anniversary gift. I want to have our anniversary date embroidered on the front and on the back I want to have our eyes embroidered on them. I will have my boyfriend’s eyes on my hoodie and my eyes will be on his hoodie. The hoodies that I have bought are navy. I want the eyes to be in black and white stitching.

I loved the work that was done. My vision was created to life, exactly how I pictured it. My only thing that I think would be great is to consider the postage costs for customers within the quote and not as an additional expense.
