Seamstress to help me work on my project list

$500

Moonee Ponds VIC 3039, Australia

13th Jul 2026

I have a large stash of fabric and patterns waiting for me to find the time to work on them so I'm looking for a seamstress to help me make a dent in the pile and finally get some pieces to wear. I would provide all fabric and things like buttons or zips or elastic as required, just looking for someone with their own sewing machine and some skills as a seamstress to cut patterns and put them together as well as provide some expertise on fit and design. I realise the rate may vary by project, really looking to connect and discuss projects and pricing for each. I guess I'm seeking an efficient rate given the prospect of multiple ongoing projects. Happy to drop off fabric and supplies to a location or have you come round to discuss, or can have a quick call over zoom to discuss. Timeline is very flexible, I'm wanting to make a sizeable dent in the project list by November (maybe at least 3-5 projects completed). Some patterns may need toilles/samples done to check sizing in advance, Happy to provide fabric for that.

Sew reinforcement into seat of two business trousers

$10

Caulfield North VIC 3161, Australia

12th Jul 2026

I'm looking for an experienced seamstress or tailor to reinforce the seat of a two pairs of dress trousers. The fabric is quite thin, and I'd like an additional layer of lightweight, durable fabric sewn inside the seat area to help prevent wear and extend the life of the trousers. I'd like the reinforcement to be as discreet as possible, with no visible stitching or change to the outside appearance. I'm looking for someone with experience altering quality garments and who can recommend a suitable reinforcement fabric if needed. Please let me know: Your experience with similar work. Whether you can supply the reinforcement fabric or if I should provide it. Your turnaround time. Happy to drop the trousers off if you're nearby and discuss payment.

I am keen to have some old clothes duplicated in new fabrics. If we work well together there is strong likelihood of ongoing work including general mending and dressmaking. The initial garment will be taking a pair of pants Elizabeth Petite Belted Tapered Pants Forever New (size tbd) purchasing and duplicating these in a new fabric (I believe it is a viscose blend). If this goes well I will purchase multiples. Estimating total cost including consultation time fabric purchase sewing and tailoring to be $170.

Seamstress for copying some traditional Greek dresses

$200

Bulleen VIC 3105, Australia

16th Apr 2026

Hi there, I’m looking for an experienced seamstress or dressmaker to replicate a traditional Greek dress. I have an original garment available to use as a reference/template. The dress is a long, pleated style with an inner lining, so experience with pleating and structured garments is highly preferred. This project is for a not-for-profit cultural dance group, so we are mindful of cost. We’re looking to start with one piece as a test run, ideally completed as soon as possible. If the quality and pricing are right, we would then proceed with a series of dresses in various sizes to be completed by early June. Details: Strong attention to detail required Ability to closely match the original design and fit Open to discussing whether you or we source the fabrics Please reach out with examples of previous work and an indication of pricing. Thanks in advance!

Asa was very easy to work with, easy to communicate and organise a time to meet and completed the dress required well ahead of time. Definitely recommended. Thank you

Seamstress needed

$200

Clyde North VIC, Australia

6th Mar 2026

Hi! I’m looking for a seamstress or clothing maker who can help create two custom tops by combining a flannel shirt and a graphic t-shirt. I’ve inserted photos of the inspo. I’ve already purchased the shirts, and they are currently coming in the mail. I’m mainly looking for someone experienced who can confirm the designs are possible and give a quote to complete them. Top 1: Use a flannel shirt for the sleeves and sides Use the graphic t-shirt for the centre/front panel Top 2: Mostly a flannel shirt Replace the back panel of the flannel with the graphic t-shirt design The goal is to keep the graphic visible while combining it with the flannel. Both the sizes should be a 3xl. I’m happy to: Drop the shirts off locally or post them if needed Looking for: Someone experienced with clothing alterations or garment construction Advice on whether the designs are feasible A quote for making both tops Location: Clyde north, but flexible if posting is easier. As mentioned, the shirts should be here next week and I want this completed before April 4th. Thanks!

Katherine was amazing, she did an incredible job at making my vision come to life. She was very professional and very communicative throughout the whole process and was amenable to complete the task from a different state. Would highly recommend her and her work! Thank you again Katherine!!
