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.

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.
Upholstery and drapery sewing
Aside from clothing, sewing experts can work on upholstery, linens, and other items. Upholstery sewing includes sewing couch cushions and repairing zips on seat covers.

Please sew the sides of a tunic that have been cut badly.
$30
Battery Point TAS, Australia
24th Sep 2024
I have a big top in a tunic style. I have cut it on both sides at the seams to make a tunic, however it didn't go very well. I'd like to have the sides hemmed so it looks neater, but still leave both sides open from the waist down. Please refer to photos. I made some mistakes cutting this. You don't have to fix the holes, just cut away the fabric so it's even. This is for a costume, and I will wear a shirt underneath. Thank you! Please let me know if you can fix it. :)
Thanks again! Appreciate this tasker's excellent communication.
