Top Sewing related questions
Taskers can sew any item for you, be it clothing, accessories, or upholstery. Sewing experts can make, repair, or alter fabric pieces, such as shirts, dresses, curtains, and seat covers. They can also add embellishments like embroidery onto clothes and other fabrics.
Taskers can help you with one-off sewing tasks or long-term sewing work. So whether you simply need a button sewn onto a blouse or a couple of mittens made for your business, Taskers can help! As long as a Tasker is available, you can get small or big tasks done.
You can either supply the sewing materials or have a sewing expert provide everything for the service. Tell us about your task, and we’ll connect you with sewers who’ll help ensure you get the perfect fabric or right colour of thread for your sewing task.
Sewing services may take anywhere from an hour to a couple of days. Lead times depend on Tasker availability and skill, as well as the nature of the task. For example, mending a rip may take a few minutes, while making a wedding dress may take up to 9 months. But if you have an urgent sewing request, no worries! Just tell us what you need, and available Taskers can start reaching out to you.
Yes. Dressmakers and seamstresses have overlapping skills, but they differ in certain skill sets. In general, dressmakers specialise in making dresses. What’s more, dressmakers tend to have a wider range of skills, from designing a dress to putting fabrics together. Meanwhile, seamstresses or seamsters are considered a “jack of all trades” in sewing. Their main task is to sew garments together.
Yes, we can help you find same-day sewing services. If you’re in a rush, simply tell us how soon you need the sewing service. We’ll then connect you with available sewing services near you. Nearby sewing services can come over as soon as possible and even sew your garment on-site. But if you’re busy running errands, your Tasker can instead pick up your item and bring it back to you once it’s repaired or altered.

Knottytop Creative Joinery is looking for a local Canberran sewing whizz! I'm after someone with sewing experience and their own sewing machine who would be interested in making small batches of plush pet blankets here in Canberra. The job involves sewing two layers of fabric (plush and sherpa) together to create 70 × 100 cm blankets. I'll supply all the materials, and initially I'm looking at batches of 10–20 blankets, with the possibility of ongoing work as the business grows. Ideally, you'd be working from your own home or workshop. If you love sewing and fancy a little extra income, I'd love to hear from you! Please message me with a little information about your sewing experience and equipment.

Sew my hat 🧵
$70
Lennox Head NSW 2478, Australia
17th Oct 2026
Unfortunately my dog has got ahold of my Akubra and chewed/ripped the inner leather band out along with this outside crown band. I’m wanting someone to try their best sewing it back in/on to fix it. I know it’s not going to be perfect again and I’m Completely fine with that. The Inner band has a rip in it but I reckon it can be sewed back in. The outer band is pretty simple, just needs a couple threads to hold it on. Additional Info can be provided

I have an old scout blanket, I would like to replace the old blanket. I have purchased the new blanket, I would like the old badges sewn onto the new blanket. There are around 60 -80 badges. All shapes and sizes. This has enormous sentimental value for me. I am away for work during the week... So it can either be picked up during the week or I could drop it off on the weekend.. If you pick it up and drop it off, you will be compensated.
