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 task - transform old wedding dress into leotard
$400
St Peters NSW 2044, Australia
15th Aug 2025
I would like to transform my wedding dress into a leotard to wear. It is a backless dress and was only $300 so I am wanting to cut it and change it. For the person who is interested, I would like them to come to my house in St Peter’s Sydney for me to try on and for them to make appropriate measures needed and then take away to do the cutting and sewing. I have a 12 week old baby and toddler so my preference is for you to come to me for measurements and pick up and then return to me when done. Pictures of the wedding dress included. Thank you

I need a dress maker to create a dress for the 17 year old girl for her upcoming ball. We have about two months’ time, and I’ve attached a few reference photos and a sketch to give you a general idea of the design. We’d love the dress to be made in dark blue satin, floor-length (not longer), with wing-style sleeves that reach all the way down to the hem. We’d also like the back to be open. She is size 6, petite girl. The sketch is a starting point, but there are a few small modifications we’d like to make, which I’d be happy to discuss further.

Potts Point-Woolloomooloo NSW, Australia
15th Jul 2025
Looking for a dedicated and flexible superstar seamstress who has time to hem and alter multiple dresses at the last minute before I move overseas on Saturday 19th July. As I have multiple items I need someone who is going to be fair and reasonable with their pricing per garment and I’m happy to pay cash (most is just hemming as I’m very petite - my nonna used to tailor everything for me but she passed away a few months ago so if you can fill those shoes id be super grateful). If you live in the Potts point area it would be easy for you to come to me so I can try everything on and we can decide which items will be quickest to prioritise or I come to you. I can then pick them up Friday evening/Saturday morning at the latest if you live close by as I fly out in the afternoon. Thank you ♥️
