Seamstress/tailor/dress maker

$10

Marrickville NSW, Australia

14th Mar 2026

Hi! I am a vintage/up-cycle start up business that is in search of a tailor that has the ability to follow pattern pieces. I currently have an influx of old and new stuff that I would like to rework into new items and designs. I have a sewing machine however don’t have the hours to commit. Per item made. I will pay the maker $10-15 per piece depending on complexity. To give example the first pieces I would like to create a dress from large shirts that I have on hand. I have purchased a pattern piece for this desired look and would be in search of someone who can articulate my design into a finished rework/upcycled piece. I would like to create a first range of around 10pieces to begin. So if you feel like you have the ability to meet the criteria then reach out to me and we can talk! The first few pieces will be quite simple in design. Thanks! -Talei

Seamstress for Lamp Shade Making

$100

Waverley NSW, Australia

12th Mar 2026

I'm looking for an experienced seamstress to assist in producing my lamps on an ongoing basis. They are constructed more like a garment than a traditional lamp shade production, as the panels are cut from a pattern, and the top and bottom seams are hand-stitched. They are large, and you would need studio space able to accommodate working on two floor lamps at a time. I'm offering $300 for the small and $425 for the medium floor lamp.

Talented Seamstress to sew a lace formal dress

$350

Dover Heights NSW, Australia

11th Mar 2026

I am looking for a talented, attention to detail seamstress to sew a design of mine in lace fabric. The original dress is sandwash satin silk. You will be provided with the sample as well as the cut pattern pieces and a spec sheet to sew the dress. I need it completed before the 21st of March. Pattern pieces have not been cut yet so if you are comfortable cutting them this will speed up the process. You will of course be paid for the extra time for cutting. I need this dress to be completed with attention to detail as I have a high end brand where the work needs to reflect this. The images show the original sample in sandwash satin silk.

Sew back together torn onesie

$25

Shellharbour NSW, Australia

14th Dec 2025

My dog thought it'd be fun to misbehave under the awful influence of my friends dog, and she got a hold of my sons favourite onesie. I'm hoping someone that knows how to use a sewing machine can put it back together. I'd do it by hand, but that's quite time-consuming and time is something I don't have much of atm due to packing/organising to travel Aus in about a week. Any smaller holes left after the major part is done, I will hand-sew myself. :) Thank you in advance

Dayna did an excellent job fixing my sons favourite onesie, in great time, too! Very grateful for her time and effort 🥰

Seeking someone to sew bear clothes from my late grandma’s clothing

$60

Lugarno NSW 2210, Australia

25th Nov 2025

Hi everyone, My grandma recently passed away, and I’m hoping to make some special Christmas gifts for my mum and a few other relatives. I’m planning to create Build-A-Bear toys with her voice recorded inside, and I would love to dress them in outfits made from her clothing. Is there anyone who would be able to sew a bear-sized shirt using one of her tops, and a pair of bear-sized shorts using one of her shorts? I’m happy to provide the materials and pay for your time. Thank you so much. 💛

Pam was quick and they turned out great

Skilled sewer to make a cover for a dog bed

$150

Marrickville, New South Wales

1st Nov 2025

I have a rectangular foam dog bed (approx 30cm x 70cm), and I would like a new cover on it. -> the bed in the pic currently with a blue cover. I have an existing cover (for a different , but similarly sized dog bed) that I would like to use for this task (as the fabric very good quality / strong). -> the brown cover in the pic. The existing cover needs to be remade to fit the bed. There is enough material but it needs to be cut up/ sewn bag together so it fits the other bed. I understand there may be so additional seams due to the currently structure of the cover as the existing bed bolsters around the sides. There is a zip on the bottom side which goes around 2 sides so the cover can be washed. This will also need to be re-used in the new cover so it can be taken off and washed. The tasker will need to come and collect the cover and the foam insert (bed) from my house, and drop it back once complete. We can discuss more in person then :)

Working with Marla was an absolute dream! I took a chance with her as it was her first task and it absolutely paid off. I think this is one of the best experiences on Airtasker. She was friendly, punctual, amazing attention to detail and most of all, did a PERFECT job on making my dog bed. I would highly recommend her for your sewing needs. Thank you again Marla, it’s been so wonderful working with you

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 😊
