What does a tailor do?
This service covers tailoring, clothing alterations, and sometimes even repair for different kinds of garments. This includes men’s suits, women’s coats, trousers, wedding dresses, and even down jackets. In the case of made-to-measure and bespoke tailoring, your wardrobe will show off your personality and fit your lifestyle in a way that off-the-rack can’t match.
When booking a clothes tailor near you through our platform, you get some great added perks, such as picking a reviewed and rated tailor in your area, having a tailor go to your home or office, and working within your budget! Do note that some details may vary depending on the tailor you hire, so make sure that your task post is as detailed as possible.
Alteration tailor near you
Whether you need stitching near you or any alteration, Taskers can do most tailoring work and alter a garment to fit you better. If you plan to get an off-the-rack item and take it to clothing alterations near you, it’s best to choose a size that fits the widest point of your body. From there, your local tailor will take in or cinch the rest of the item. Tailors can also make sleeves or pant legs slimmer, adjust the straps and bust darts of a dress, shorten the sleeves of a shirt, add the lining, and add buttons or hook-and-eye clasps.
On the other hand, a tailor cannot make a garment bigger or longer. They also can’t fix a bad shoulder fit on a jacket or coat. Also, it is inadvisable to let out the stitches in fabrics like linen, cotton, and silk, since holes will show.
Clothing repair by experienced tailors
Most local tailors near you can also repair clothing. This can mean fixing a zipper, stopping a hem from fraying, repairing a rip, or reweaving a hole. When you book a clothing tailor near you to repair your item, they’ll tell you if the item can still be repaired, and what the risks (and cost) of the repair would be. They can also offer advice on how to better care for your clothing or avoid further damage, such as using a mesh bag in the laundry for your more delicate items or getting your clothes dry-cleaned instead.
Made-to-measure and bespoke tailoring
Looking for a suit tailor near you for bespoke clothing? Tailoring or altering your off-the-rack garment is a fast and affordable way to make clothes fit you better. But if you want your wardrobe to fit you to a T, made-to-measure or bespoke tailoring is the way to go. While these services are offered at tailor shops near you, Airtasker lets you book a bespoke tailor who can go to your home or office.
No need to worry about going to a tailor shop near you - Taskers can provide the supplies, take your measurements and requests (or in the case of made-to-measure, let you choose a pattern), and assist you with the fittings! This service saves time while still making sure you look stunning at that upcoming event - skilled Taskers can help you with planning for the big day as well!

Help shorten my electric recliner lounge suite
$200
Franklin ACT, Australia
2nd Sep 2025
I recently purchased an electric recliner sofa lounge suite, and while I appreciate its overall quality, I’ve found the seat height to be a bit too high for my comfort. I would be grateful if it could be adjusted—specifically, shortened slightly and with the pitch brought forward a bit to better suit my posture and ease of use.
Sewing/hemming large piece of fabric
$100
Fisher ACT, Australia
27th Aug 2025
Hemming a large piece of satin fabric that will be used to drape over a four poster bed as a canopy. Fabric is 1.5m x 6.5m. The hem needs to be a rolled hem or similar as the inside of the fabric will also be showing. See picture for example of how fabric will drape over the bed frame. Pictures of fabric also provided.
Katherine was terrific to deal with. She was great at communicating how we could get the result I was after, giving me confidence at every stage. Katherine shared photos of different ways the fabric could be finished and clearly explained the options - this was very useful as I know next to nothing about sewing! Overall it was a positive experience and beautiful result.

Tuggeranong ACT, Australia
13th Jul 2025
I would like to pay someone to teach my 20 year old daughter to sew basic clothes over 4 lessons, conducted on weekends. I would like her to be able to make two garments, with two lessons spent on each. I think that a couple of hours for each lesson would be good, and she can progress things between lessons. One or two friends might also choose to join the class. Looking for an experienced sewer who can lead through all elements, including using a pattern, sewing, adjustments and finishing. My daughter has her own machine.
