Sewing/embroidery expert needed to identify fabrics & thread types

$60

Glenning Valley NSW, Australia

7th Feb 2026

I have a collection of my mum’s sewing and embroidery supplies, including a mix of fabrics and different types of thread. I’m looking for someone with solid sewing or machine‑embroidery experience who can: - Identify different fabric types - Identify different thread types (embroidery, sewing etc.) - Classify everything into clear groups so I know what’s what Everything is already sorted. I just need an expert eye to correctly name and group the items. The attached images show a lot of the collection, though there may be a few extra pieces on the day. This should be a fairly quick job for someone experienced, and I won’t ask for more than 2 hours of your time. When quoting, please include a brief note about your sewing or embroidery experience.

Need sewer to make a belt and a harness out of seat belt-like straps

$30

Petersham NSW 2049, Australia

26th Jan 2026

I need two items sewn. I don't have space to use a sewing machine. I can supply all the strapping and clips but not sure about thread to use. Belt: nothing fancy. Just a belt made with seat belt-like straps and quick release clips. Needs to be able to support some props for a costume. Harness: vest sized harness. Made with seat belt-like straps and quick release clips. Quick release clips would be used at lower rib cage area and another set below collarbone height to ensure the shoulder straps don't slip off shoulders. Also would like two straps and quick release clips attached to back of each shoulder strap to be able to attach a prop..

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

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 😊
