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.

I’m looking for someone experienced with sewing or fabric alterations to resize an existing mesh flyscreen for the rear tailgate opening of my 2022 Suzuki Jimny. The flyscreen is already supplied. I just need it measured, trimmed and neatly sewn to fit the opening. The work would involve: * Measuring and marking the mesh to fit the rear opening. * Cutting away excess material. * Sewing a neat, reinforced edge to prevent fraying. * Making minor adjustments to the existing magnetic/Velcro attachments if needed. I’m after a clean, snug fit to keep insects out when camping. I’m based in Rosebery, Sydney, and happy to travel locally with the vehicle and flyscreen so it can be measured properly. Experience with mesh, canvas, upholstery or similar fabric alterations would be ideal. Please feel free to ask any questions or provide a quote if additional work is required. Thanks!

Clothing repair

Alexandria NSW 2015, Australia

27th Sep 2026

Hi! I need some clothes repaired, see the following list: 2 skirt - needs back slit stitched back together 1 pant - with 5cm hole 1 pant - with 10cm hole 1 jacket - needs zipper fixed 1 wool skirt - inner lining repair 2 button up shirts with ironing holes 1 lace skirt with small holes <1cm 1 wool sweater needs a few holes patched, 2 small ones <2cm and 2 larger ones 3-5cm in diameter. I'm very happy for the larger holes in the pants and the sweater to be repaired with patches or visible mending rather than invisible repairs, as I'd like to keep the cost down. I'm also open to cute/creative visible mending designs and patches that add a bit of character to the clothes! I'm more interested in a repair being neat and durable than necessarily invisible. Happy to drop off and collect everything to somewhere within the City of Sydney, Bayside Council or Randwick Council. Flexible with timing. Please let me know your price for the whole bundle and what sort of repair you'd recommend.

Looking for a seamstress/costume maker to recreate 3 vampire costumes

$1,000

Sydney NSW 2000, Australia

27th Aug 2026

Hi! I’m looking for an experienced seamstress, dressmaker or costume designer who can recreate three custom costumes for myself and two friends, based on the reference photos attached. We’re wanting the ethereal/gothic vampire look from the references, with each girl having a slightly different costume: • ivory/gold two-piece with draped sheer fabric • white/cream flowing gown with corset-style detailing • blush pink/cream flowing gown with gold embellishments They don’t need to be exact screen-accurate replicas, but we’d love them to be as close to the references as reasonably possible, particularly the silhouettes, sheer/draped fabrics, gold detailing and overall romantic gothic look. We’re happy to discuss fabrics and ways to recreate the detailing without making the costumes unnecessarily expensive. They only need to photograph beautifully and have the same overall effect as the originals. We can provide individual measurements for all three girls and attend fittings in Sydney if required. Looking for someone who can assist with: • pattern making/adapting existing patterns • fabric sourcing or advising us what to purchase • sewing and construction • gold trims/embellishments • fitting and alterations Please send through examples of previous costume, bridal, formalwear or similar work if possible. Budget: Open to quotes. Please let me know your estimated cost for all three costumes, or your price per costume. I’ve attached multiple reference images showing the costumes from different angles. Thank you! ♡

Seamstress/tailor/dress maker

$40

Marrickville, New South Wales

13th Aug 2026

Hi! I am a vintage/up-cycle start up business that is in search of a tailor that has the ability to follow pattern pieces. I currently have an influx of old and new stuff that I would like to rework into new items and designs. I have a sewing machine however don’t have the hours to commit. Per item made. I will pay the maker per piece depending on complexity. To give example the first pieces I would like to create a dress from large shirts that I have on hand. I have purchased a pattern piece for this desired look and would be in search of someone who can articulate my design into a finished rework/upcycled piece. I would like to create a first range of around 10pieces to begin. So if you feel like you have the ability to meet the criteria then reach out to me and we can talk! The first few pieces will be quite simple in design. Thanks! -Talei

She is so talented! Thank you 🙏
