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 have an existing long-sleeve maxi dress in 95% nylon/5% spandex that has been damaged. The dress is discontinued and I'd like it replicated as closely as possible, including the fit and drape.

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

Experienced seamstress to alter 50+ garments
$500
The Rocks NSW 2000, Australia
30th Jul 2026
Experienced Seamstress Required – Bulk Clothing Alterations (Approx. 50 Garments) I’m looking for an experienced and meticulous seamstress or tailor to alter approximately 50 women’s work garments, including jackets, skirts, coats and standard midi dresses. The majority of the alterations are straightforward and involve: * Taking garments in at the back or side seams to achieve a better fit. * Shortening hems on some skirts, dresses and coats. Ideally, I’m looking for someone who can: * Visit my home to take my measurements and assess the garments. * Take the garments away for alteration and return them once completed. Alternatively, I’m happy to drop off and collect the garments if that is more convenient. As there is a large quantity of clothing, I would prefer to negotiate one overall price for the entire project, rather than paying per garment. Of course, I’m happy to discuss any additional cost if a particular item requires a more complex alteration than anticipated. I’m located in the Sydney CBD (The Rocks). Please let me know: * Your experience with women’s tailoring and garment alterations. * Whether you offer home visits. * An estimated turnaround time. * Whether you’re able to quote a package price for the full job. Quality workmanship is more important to me than speed, and I’m hoping to establish an ongoing relationship with someone I can use for future alterations as well. I look forward to hearing from you!
