Whether you need a jumpsuit made from scratch or a dress was taken up, you’ll find Taskers who can help. Here’s a list of sewing tasks you can get done through our platform. 

Custom sewing 

Hire a sewist who can create clothes for you based on a sketch, existing garment, or Pinterest inspiration. Bespoke dressmaking or tailoring lets you achieve the perfect fit and style. And you’re sure to have a one-of-a-kind garment you’ll love to wear for the years to come. 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. Discovered a rip on your dress, and your party is a few hours away? Put up a task and find nearby sewing services in minutes. 

Once you’ve accepted an offer, your Tasker can come by and deal with your clothing emergency. If you’re in no rush, go ahead and have a sewer fix up or restyle an old garment you love. You could even hire a Tasker to dry-clean a dusty coat or iron your clothes. 

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

Clothes Alterations (Sewing)

$30

Lutwyche QLD 4030, Australia

7th Oct 2026

Hi everyone! I’m looking for someone around Lutwyche or nearby who is confident with sewing and would be interested in doing occasional clothing alterations for me. Most of the alterations are fairly straightforward, for example: - shortening dresses, trousers or tops - changing long sleeves to short sleeves - shortening jeans while keeping the original hem - other simple adjustments as needed I’m hoping to find someone who enjoys sewing, perhaps sews from home or does alterations privately, and offers reasonable rates compared with commercial alteration shops. Good attention to detail and a neat finish are important to me, and if things work well there would likely be more items from time to time. I’m happy to bring the clothes to you if you’re reasonably close to Lutwyche. If this sounds like something you’d be interested in, please send me a message with a little about your sewing experience and, if possible, an idea of your usual pricing. Thank you! 😊
