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 Cushion Covers
$40
Melbourne VIC, Australia
30th Aug 2025
Hi, I’m looking for someone who can help me bring some cushion covers to life! They’ll be simple, standard covers with a zipper, I just don’t have the sewing skills myself. I will provide the upholstery fabric but will need zips provided, and there may be a couple of different sizes (to be confirmed). I would love to start with one sample, and if all goes well, I’ll be looking to have 20+ made to begin with. I’m based in the South Eastern suburbs, so ideally looking for somewhere local, though I’m flexible. (Only Melbourne locals please, not interstate) I’m happy to work around $40 per hour, but open to negotiating depending on the job (Images are of the upholstery roll I have and cushion style I would like made.)

Embroidery on x 4 bathrobes AND hemming of x 5 curtains
$145
East Melbourne VIC, Australia
3rd Jun 2025
Hello! I’m looking for a keen home sewing person. I’ve been very sick lately & I’ve bought matching cozy fluffy bathrooms for my mum & two sisters as a thank you for helping me out while I am sick/tired etc. I’d like someone who can sew / embroider to be able to sew our family nicknames onto the back of each of the X 4 robes. I think sewing on a braided dark pink ribbon in the shape of each short nickname would be easiest & perfect and look very special & cute… open to ideas. AND Aside from this, I’ve bought x 5 sets of cheap Ikea curtains for my vintage caravan that I need hemmed to caravan window length, so I can lease the van out for some income. I will get the measurements. I’ve got the robes & curtains with me in East Melbourne. If you could pick up / drop off when done that would be amazing as I am not very mobile at the moment.. However, I DO have my old car with me and I could drop off to you at some point when I am not sick - as long as not too far & not in a busy traffic period. I am new to Melbourne & not very confident driving in the hectic traffic…🙈 I’ve made what I hope is a reasonable offer for your time on this - but please make a different offer if you think necessary & I will consider. I don’t have a lot of cash left just at the moment (not working for several months as sick), but I do want to be fair & reasonable about the payment - and it is very important to me that this present is special & beautiful for my family, and also that my beloved old vintage caravan is functional, and so I can lease it for some income while I am not well. I have included approx $25 in this offer for the braid to be sewn on & matching thread for that & the green curtains. I have also included $20 for pick up & drop off to East Melbourne. Thank you.


Isabella is such a fantastic Airtasker! She’s so smart, skilled, honest, diligent and is very professional in her communications. Recommend her very highly to anyone for… basically anything! She’s going places for sure 🙌🙏

Hi there! I’m looking for someone local who can help me repair two linen sheets using a sewing machine. They need some mending, nothing too complicated if you know about sewing, just a bit of stitching to bring them back to life.
