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.

Sew basic couch cover for modular

$225

Asquith NSW, Australia

2nd Mar 2024

Looking for a friendly sewing buddy to help me create a beautiful calico sofa cover with pleats at the corners and edges. I will assist with pinning and sewing the piping lining. The sofa has a recliner part and a chaise, and I have tutorial videos to guide us along the way. You'll need your own sturdy machine to handle the calico layers, but I have pleating sewing machine feet if needed. The goal is to finish by the end of summer, and I'm happy to help, as I believe the pattern will be easy, even though it's a big 5-seat modular sofa. Let's sew together and make something beautiful! ☀️

Sew new bench cushion covers for my boat

$400

Cremorne NSW, Australia

3rd Jan 2024

I have recently bought an old sail boat. The bench seat cushions covers inside the boat are completely ruined. I have removed these covers and washed them. This is so they can be used as templates for new covers to be made. I will supply the new material and these covers for you to make new ones of the SAME SIZE. There are about 4 or 5 covers to be made. Their size is about 1.5m x 0.5m but they have a strange shape (being boat cushions). This is not a difficult job but you MUST have had textile experience to do them properly. You will need to use your own sewing machine. If the covers you make for me are of good quality I will pay you a bonus and get you to make another set for me. - Due date: Flexible
