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.

Garment alterations and sewing assistance

$175

East Melbourne VIC, Australia

I would like an experienced seamstress/sewist to help me alter, repair and sew some garments, and help me learn more about dressmaking. Starting with a 3 hour session, with the potential for ongoing work. Ideally, you will: - be friendly and patient and a clear teacher with actionable advice - be able to bring your own sewing machine. I have one, but its very old, and I'd prefer if we could work simultaneously.* - have experience making dance costumes and gowns - understand fabrics and have experience sewing with challenging materials - be able to give advice on choosing fabrics - understand how to adjust and create garments for mid-size, curvy, petite women. - be happy to work in a house with a cat. The budget I am setting includes $50 per hour for 3 hours, plus $25 for bringing a sewing machine and any basic equipment. If you are not able to bring these tools, please reflect that in your offer. *Note: I have needles, thread, scissors, bobbins, measuring tape, some patterns and practice fabrics and some other basics, but no chalk. If you want to bring anything along that would help it would be much appreciated!

Meha was wonderful! Very reliable, knowledgeable and friendly!
