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.

Name embroidered on bath towel

$15

North Perth WA, Australia

20th Jan 2026

Hi, I’d like a person with embroidering experience to embroider a name on a bath towel. (A simple classic machine embroidery stitch.) This is not a logo, it is just a persons name. I’m advertising one on here but would have seven or more for you to do. I’m offering $15 each, but will also pay the Airtasker fee that you would normally pay. If you are in the Perth or Fremantle area, I am happy to drop the items to you. Look forward to hearing from you.

Sewing toddler rompers

$60

Perth WA, Australia

16th Jan 2026

Have some cotton old adult t-shirts I would love to be turned into 3-4 oversized rompers for my toddler. I have one romper that could be used as a pattern if need be. Prefer stud close buttons along the crotch. I can drop off the materials and purchase any additional bits and bobs. Not sure how much work this is, please let me know a fair price :) I'm based in Perth, happy to drop off / collect.

Sewing to clone my favorite dress

$100

Perth WA, Australia

5th Jan 2026

Seeking a seamstress or experienced home sewist to whip up a copy of a dress I already own and love (I find it difficult to find styles & fabrics I am comfortable in). Photos included for reference — it has a looser, drapey top and a double-layered ruched skirt, and I’m hoping to recreate that overall shape and feel. The size is ~ Aus 18-20. I already have what should be adequate fabric: the aqua, navy, and white patterned knit shown in the photos. It came from a remnant box so there’s no label, but it’s very likely an ITY (polyester/elastane) knit — very stretchy, fluid, and cool to the touch. This is intended to be a summer version of the dress. It doesn’t need to be couture or factory-perfect — just well made, wearable, and comfortable. I’m specifically looking for someone with experience sewing stretch and knit fabrics. I could sew this myself, but knits aren’t my usual comfort zone, so I’d love to work with someone confident handling them. I’m flexible and practical. Sleeve and skirt length can be adjusted to suit the available fabric, and I’m very happy with a cowl neck if that’s easier than recreating the original neckline. I also have a modern Janome sewing machine and overlocker, which you’re welcome to use at my place if helpful. Friendly project, realistic expectations, original dress provided as reference. If you enjoy sewing knits, I’d love to hear from you!

Dressmaker Perth region for bespoke design

$10

Perth, Western Australia

30th Dec 2025

Hi. I have a layman mock-up for a custom pair of jeans and am seeking a skilled dress maker to bring it to life. A little particular, so would want the final product to be tweaked to perfection. If you're also able to make a pattern for the final design, that would be a bonus as I'll likely want the same item recreated. I will provide the fabric and hardware required, so no out-of-pockets needed. ** I am running on a deadline so hoping to have the final and perfected product ready ASAP. $10 budget is just a placeholder, please submit your quotes (be mindful that it is an intricate design). Thanks.

Need a seamstress/seamster to customise a pair of soccer GK gloves.

$100

Perth WA, Australia

18th Sep 2025

Hello A bit of a strange one. I am reaching out on behalf of my son, who is a goalkeeper. Recently, he fractured his little finger. While he has now been cleared to play, his doctor has advised that he must wear a splint to protect the finger. We have a brand new pair of gloves, but they need be sewn so the little and ring fingers can be strapped together...a bit like the attached picture. Any help greatly appreciated! Best regards, Jeff

Sew a custom size fitted bedsheet

$70

Perth, Western Australia

29th Aug 2025

I am looking for an experienced person to make / sew a custom sized fitted bedsheet to fit one of the mattresses on my boat. It is an odd shape (see photo and rough sketch with measurements) but it should be fairly easy for a dressmaker or similar to do. Keep it mind it is a fitted sheet, so needs a drop on all sides with elasticated edges (mattress depth measurement included in sketch). I can provide the material and elastic if necessary, or happy to pay up to double if you can supply your own (material must be suitable for a bedsheet, either cotton or cotton blend, in any solid colour). I had a friend previously offer to do it but they have stuffed me round for months, and I really need it ready by October for a trip. I’m located in Seville Grove, but happy to come pick it up once completed as long as you’re in the Perth metro area :)
