I love the cushion covers Rachel made. Super neat, skillful sewing and consideration of details. They look beautiful!. The trouser alterations were also great, and she offered me good advice! It was easy to work with Rachel, she was flexible with my uncertain pickup time, which meant the job was handed over after the completion date. No problem. Highly recommend Rachel for this type of work. Thanks !!

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.

Sewing of flags
$150
Werribee VIC 3030, Australia
7th May 2025
I need to have 11 flags sewn. I have the materials and just need them sewn together. They need to be block colours - ie blue at the top, red and then yellow. They also need to have a 35mm pocket on the side to insert a pole. They are only for the football so they dont need to be perfect. They would be as follows. 5 X horizontal blue at the top, red middle, 6 X vertical blue on the left, red middle and yellow right. The photo attached with the circled image highlights roughly what they would look like. I’ve closed the material together to show how to sue them but it doesn’t need to be anything too great. I am happy to meet to drop off the material and ideally I would like it completed in about a week
