Hi, I have some cotton fabric and I would like some covers sewn for the pull out fabric. It is a light sheet fabric and should be fairly easy. Doesn’t have to be perfect as it is the mattress part. Happy to travel with the wider Newcastle area to you.

Make a vinyl cover for a Porta Potti. Sewing task. Vinyl supplied.

$60

Dee Why NSW 2099, Australia

26th Dec 2025

I need someone handy with a sewing machine to sew a cover for my Porta Potti. It's basically a 'hat'. No bottom. Made to the shape of the lid. Needs to be 40cm high. I've already bought the vinyl. The vinyl is medium/thick but a domestic sewing machine should easily handle it. I think you may need to inspect the toilet lid, to get an idea of the shape (basically square) and pickup the material. Available any day, anytime. We are near B1 Bus Stop, Dee Why, Sydney.

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 🥰

Sew panel of fabric onto campervan curtains x10

Hello! I need someone to sew some much nicer fabric onto my existing (blackout) campervan curtains - adding new fabric to both sides if possible? Theres 10 mini curtains that go around the windows in the van but they are currently a boring beige. I can source the fabric myself or if you have some available I’d be interested.

Highly recommend Claire! She was super friendly and went above and beyond to complete the task I hired her for. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience, thank you!

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

Sew covers for these cushions.

$100

Fletcher NSW, Australia

29th Oct 2025

I would like someone to sew new covers for these cushions. I have the material and the longest cover is 140cm x 50cm. I can take the green ones off for you to use as a guide. Zippers aren’t necessary and the workmanship doesn’t have to be amazing - just the front facing parts need to look tidy and they need to sit flush with each other.

Amazing craftsmanship. Quick and outstanding service. Highly recommend 😊
