Taskers can help you with one-off sewing tasks or long-term sewing work. So whether you simply need a button sewn onto a blouse or a couple of mittens made for your business, Taskers can help! As long as a Tasker is available, you can get small or big tasks done.

You can either supply the sewing materials or have a sewing expert provide everything for the service. Tell us about your task, and we’ll connect you with sewers who’ll help ensure you get the perfect fabric or right colour of thread for your sewing task.  

Sewing services may take anywhere from an hour to a couple of days. Lead times depend on Tasker availability and skill, as well as the nature of the task.

Just tell us what you need, and available Taskers can start reaching out to you.  

Yes. Dressmakers and seamstresses have overlapping skills, but they differ in certain skill sets. In general, dressmakers specialise in making dresses. What’s more, dressmakers tend to have a wider range of skills, from designing a dress to putting fabrics together.

$400

Southbank VIC, Australia

2nd Jul 2025

We’re looking for an experienced curtain maker or seamstress to help us sew custom decorative curtains for our new venue opening inside Crown Melbourne. We only require the sewing work – we will supply the fabric (deep blue, velvet-style look), and we will handle all attachments and installation ourselves. These curtains are purely decorative, meant to stay gathered and elegant, with a quick-release system in case we need to open the glass doors behind them. 🔹 No hardware/rails needed 🔹 Fabric supplied by us 🔹 Sewing only – urgent turnaround required We’ve attached two reference images showing the spaces. Based on those, we estimate the following approximate finished curtain sizes: Main glass wall with seating (Image 1): • Left side: approx. 220–240cm height x 100–120cm width • Centre (2 curtains): each approx. 220–240cm height x 100–120cm width • Right side: approx. 220–240cm height x 100–120cm width Glass wall behind piano (Image 2): • Left corner: approx. 220–240cm height x 100–120cm width • Right corner: approx. 220–240cm height x 100–120cm width ❗Please note: These are only rough estimates to assist with quoting – final measurements can be confirmed on-site or with updated photos. Our soft opening is scheduled for July 9th, so ideally, we would like the curtains completed as soon as possible before then. If this sounds like something you could help with, please get in touch with your availability and an approximate quote.
