Looking for a Skilled Sewist for Bespoke Wedding Styling Pieces

$50

Manly NSW 2095, Australia

28th Mar 2026

I run a Sydney-based wedding floral and event design studio and I’m looking to connect with a talented sewist who can assist with creating custom styling pieces on an ad-hoc basis. The work would include items such as: – Fabric backdrops and draping – Table linens (including specialty pieces like champagne towers) – Custom runners, napkins, and soft styling elements – Occasional bespoke pieces for specific event concepts This is not a one-off job — I’m ideally looking to build an ongoing relationship with someone reliable and detail-oriented who takes pride in high-quality finishes. What I’m looking for: – Strong sewing skills with experience in working with a range of fabrics – Attention to detail and neat, professional finishes – Ability to follow a brief and collaborate on custom ideas – Based in Sydney (or able to easily coordinate locally) If this sounds like you, I’d love to hear from you. Please share examples of your work and a bit about your experience. We work on high-end, design-led weddings so quality and finish are really important. Budget: $150–$400 per task (depending on scope)

Sew back together torn onesie

$25

Shellharbour NSW, Australia

14th Dec 2025

My dog thought it'd be fun to misbehave under the awful influence of my friends dog, and she got a hold of my sons favourite onesie. I'm hoping someone that knows how to use a sewing machine can put it back together. I'd do it by hand, but that's quite time-consuming and time is something I don't have much of atm due to packing/organising to travel Aus in about a week. Any smaller holes left after the major part is done, I will hand-sew myself. :) Thank you in advance

Dayna did an excellent job fixing my sons favourite onesie, in great time, too! Very grateful for her time and effort 🥰

Seeking someone to sew bear clothes from my late grandma’s clothing

$60

Lugarno NSW 2210, Australia

25th Nov 2025

Hi everyone, My grandma recently passed away, and I’m hoping to make some special Christmas gifts for my mum and a few other relatives. I’m planning to create Build-A-Bear toys with her voice recorded inside, and I would love to dress them in outfits made from her clothing. Is there anyone who would be able to sew a bear-sized shirt using one of her tops, and a pair of bear-sized shorts using one of her shorts? I’m happy to provide the materials and pay for your time. Thank you so much. 💛

Pam was quick and they turned out great

Skilled sewer to make a cover for a dog bed

$150

Marrickville, New South Wales

1st Nov 2025

I have a rectangular foam dog bed (approx 30cm x 70cm), and I would like a new cover on it. -> the bed in the pic currently with a blue cover. I have an existing cover (for a different , but similarly sized dog bed) that I would like to use for this task (as the fabric very good quality / strong). -> the brown cover in the pic. The existing cover needs to be remade to fit the bed. There is enough material but it needs to be cut up/ sewn bag together so it fits the other bed. I understand there may be so additional seams due to the currently structure of the cover as the existing bed bolsters around the sides. There is a zip on the bottom side which goes around 2 sides so the cover can be washed. This will also need to be re-used in the new cover so it can be taken off and washed. The tasker will need to come and collect the cover and the foam insert (bed) from my house, and drop it back once complete. We can discuss more in person then :)

Working with Marla was an absolute dream! I took a chance with her as it was her first task and it absolutely paid off. I think this is one of the best experiences on Airtasker. She was friendly, punctual, amazing attention to detail and most of all, did a PERFECT job on making my dog bed. I would highly recommend her for your sewing needs. Thank you again Marla, it’s been so wonderful working with you
