What do seamstresses include?
Ready-to-wear clothes don’t always cut it. You may need a dress for a special occasion or an alteration to achieve a perfectly fitting suit. Or perhaps you simply need to repair a broken zip or mend a beloved garment. Whatever type of sewing you need, our platform connects you with nearby sewists who can do the task. Here’s a list of sewing services you can get done on Airtasker.
Pattern cutting
Pattern cutting is translating your design onto paper or digital form. The pattern serves as a template for creating wearable clothes. Achieve a bespoke dress that fits you perfectly, or create unique garments for your clothing business. Our platform helps you find local sewists with pattern cutting skills. Once your collection is ready, hire a model to pose in your clothes while a photographer takes amazing product photos for your website.
Dressmaking
You may find clothes you like, but the fit or size just doesn’t work for your body type. Or perhaps you have a dress in mind to wear to an event, but you can’t find it at shops near you. With the help of a dressmaker, you can still get the dress of your dreams. You can have a variety of clothes made, from midi dresses, ball gowns, to business suits.
Clothing repair
We all have our go-to outfits, and it can be heartbreaking to find a tear or a hole in an irreplaceable piece of clothing. Maybe you bought that shirt abroad, had it custom-made, or splurged on that one expensive dress or jacket. No need to say goodbye to your beloved garment just yet! Instead, find a seamstress or seamster who can fix up your clothes, so they look as good as new. Taskers may even offer to dry-clean your dresses after the repair.
Clothing alteration
Some clothes may fit well, except for an awkwardly loose part around the shoulders. Or pants could have a flattering fit but are far too long for your height. With clothing alteration, you no longer have to settle for ill-fitting clothes. A nearby local seamstress can alter your clothes to create custom-fit garments, whether it’s a new suit that needs to be tailored or hand-me-downs that need to be shortened. After your alteration, have a Tasker iron your suit, and you’re good to go for your business event!
Prom dressmaking
Prom is an exciting time in a teenagers’ life. Most pretty dresses, though, can leave a big dent in your wallet. With Airtasker, you can look like the belle of the ball at prom with a dress that was made just for you. Please tell us how we can help you achieve your dream dress. Then, wait for offers from experienced sewists who can work with your design, budget, and schedule. Afterwards, find affordable yet professional hair stylists and makeup artists to do your hair and help you achieve the perfect evening look on prom night.

Sewing bed canopy
$350
Ellenbrook WA, Australia
23rd Apr 2025
Looking to make a canopy to fully enclose a four poster double bed, ie all sides and ceiling. Sides and foot would have centre opening, with some kind of fastening (velcro? studs? magnetic?). I am imagining the foot, ceiling and headboard sections being one long strip, but open to other designs. Curtains can be more like panels (few/no pleats) to minimise fabric. Please let us know your time/cost estimate and if any parts of the idea aren't possible. This feels like a long shot but maybe someone would like the mission! Thank you! Extra details: Fabric is 112 cm wide, and pattern repeats every 30cm. Would like each side to have seams pattern matched. Will likely need to double most panels to make pattern visible from inside and outside. Ikea "Vitarna" bed https://www.ikea.com/au/en/p/vitarna-four-poster-bed-frame-white-00573683/ and Spotlight "Rainbow Nebula" fabric https://www.spotlightstores.com/sewing-fabrics/fabric-by-the-metre/rainbow-nebula-112-cm-cotton-fabric/BP80618545-multicoloured

A seamstress to increase the size of sleeves on a dress
$200
New Farm QLD, Australia
19th Mar 2025
I have a floor length green dress, and as you can see in the photos the sleeves are too tight around the bicep. I’m hoping there is a way you could increase their size, possibly by adding extra fabric taken from the length of the dress. I would also like to elasticate the cuffs


Sumra is very talented and professional to work with
Seamstress - To take up school skirt and polo shirt
$20
Mermaid Beach QLD, Australia
17th Mar 2025
Have a pleated school skirt and a polo shirt to be taken up ready to start school on Thursday. Thankyouuu


A day and a half before the first day of high school, and we were stuck with a skirt longer than a nun’s—with no seamstress in sight! Either they were too busy or way too expensive. Then this beautiful soul came in and saved the day! From drop-off to finished in less than half a day—and she did an amazing job! Thank you! 🙏 If any Tasker is looking for someone honest, reliable, and with a ‘can-do, does-do’ attitude, send your cash this way!

Hi! I’m looking for someone with a sewing machine to help attach labels onto around 150–200 garments. It’s a simple, straight sew — I’ll have the old labels unpicked and will provide all the new labels and materials. ✅ Quick and easy job ✅ Must have a sewing machine ✅ Ideally completed within 3–5 days It would be amazing if you could also: • Press and fold the garments after sewing • Put them back into the provided bags • clip the provided swing tags as well, before bagging in zip lock bags ( provided ) Potential for ongoing work monthly Thanks !


Absolutely thrilled with the work Gemma did! She exceeded all expectations — her attention to detail was spot on, and everything turned out so neat and beautifully finished. Communication was clear and easy from start to finish, and she followed every instruction perfectly. Honestly couldn’t have asked for better. Highly recommend! Thank you :) x
