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 experts can sew custom garments, including prom dresses, costumes, wedding dresses, and polo shirts. 

If you run a small business, put up a task and find an experienced sewer who can produce your products, be it womenswear or small mittens. When your pieces are ready, a fashion photographer can take amazing photos of your clothes – ready for posting on Instagram!   

Clothing repair 

Sewists offer clothing repair services. They can fix a broken zip or sew on a button. No task is too small! Clothing repair also includes mending holes and stitching up linings.

Clothing alteration 

Sewers can alter clothes in many ways, such as adjusting the length of trousers or tightening a skirt around the waist. Sewing experts can also add features to a garment, whether it’s adding nifty pockets to a dress or sewing patches onto sleeves. 

Clothing alteration is a great way to customise or update a garment to a wearer’s preference. Find sewing alteration services near you today by putting up a task and telling us what you need to be done.

Looking for someone to sew a hair scrunchie

$30

Eagleby QLD, Australia

19th Dec 2025

Hi, I’m looking someone to sew a hair scrunchie out of some spare fabric I got after hemming a T-shirt. I don’t have any other materials such as elastic to go in the scrunchie or anything else at all so I’m happy to negotiate the price to include the cost of those materials. I’m located in Eagleby, which is where you’ll have to pick the spare fabric up, but I’m happy for you to sew the scrunchie at your own house and I’m super flexible with time. I’m thinking I can pay half when picking the fabric up and then pay the other half when the scrunchie is dropped off?

Make a vinyl cover for a Porta Potti. Sewing task. Vinyl supplied.

Dee Why NSW, Australia

18th Dec 2025

I need someone handy with a sewing machine to sew a cover for my Porta Potti. It's basically a 'hat'. No bottom. Made to the shape of the lid. Needs to be 40cm high. I've already bought the vinyl. The vinyl is medium/thick but a domestic sewing machine should easily handle it. I think you may need to inspect the toilet lid, to get an idea of the shape (basically square) and pickup the material. Available any day, anytime. We are near B1 Bus Stop, Dee Why, Sydney.

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 🥰

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 😊
