I had 3 sports coats, 2 jackets (including a leather jacket) and 3 chinos altered by Meha. She’s very diligent with her work and also offered to do tiny fixes for a couple of items to get them just right. Would recommend for anyone needing tailoring services.

May did a somewhat unusual sewing task for me involving multiple garments. She understood what was required and made sure it worked by offering a better solution than the one I proposed. May not only did the job but thought it through to provide me with the best result. I would highly recommend May to others.

What does a tailor do?

This service covers tailoring, clothing alterations, and sometimes even repair for different kinds of garments. This includes men’s suits, women’s coats, trousers, wedding dresses, and even down jackets. In the case of made-to-measure and bespoke tailoring, your wardrobe will show off your personality and fit your lifestyle in a way that off-the-rack can’t match.

When booking a clothes tailor near you through our platform, you get some great added perks, such as picking a reviewed and rated tailor in your area, having a tailor go to your home or office, and working within your budget! Do note that some details may vary depending on the tailor you hire, so make sure that your task post is as detailed as possible. 

Alteration tailor near you

Whether you need stitching near you or any alteration, Taskers can do most tailoring work and alter a garment to fit you better. If you plan to get an off-the-rack item and take it to clothing alterations near you, it’s best to choose a size that fits the widest point of your body. From there, your local tailor will take in or cinch the rest of the item. Tailors can also make sleeves or pant legs slimmer, adjust the straps and bust darts of a dress, shorten the sleeves of a shirt, add the lining, and add buttons or hook-and-eye clasps. 

On the other hand, a tailor cannot make a garment bigger or longer. They also can’t fix a bad shoulder fit on a jacket or coat. Also, it is inadvisable to let out the stitches in fabrics like linen, cotton, and silk, since holes will show. 

Clothing repair by experienced tailors

Most local tailors near you can also repair clothing. This can mean fixing a zipper, stopping a hem from fraying, repairing a rip, or reweaving a hole. When you book a clothing tailor near you to repair your item, they’ll tell you if the item can still be repaired, and what the risks (and cost) of the repair would be. They can also offer advice on how to better care for your clothing or avoid further damage, such as using a mesh bag in the laundry for your more delicate items or getting your clothes dry-cleaned instead.

Made-to-measure and bespoke tailoring

Looking for a suit tailor near you for bespoke clothing? Tailoring or altering your off-the-rack garment is a fast and affordable way to make clothes fit you better. But if you want your wardrobe to fit you to a T, made-to-measure or bespoke tailoring is the way to go. While these services are offered at tailor shops near you, Airtasker lets you book a bespoke tailor who can go to your home or office. 

No need to worry about going to a tailor shop near you - Taskers can provide the supplies, take your measurements and requests (or in the case of made-to-measure, let you choose a pattern), and assist you with the fittings! This service saves time while still making sure you look stunning at that upcoming event - skilled Taskers can help you with planning for the big day as well!

Looking for: Sewist - for a gaming table top cloth project

$50

Mount Waverley VIC 3149, Australia

12th Jun 2025

Goal - To create a removable and reversible gaming surface for a dining table Dining Table Dimensions: 244cm by 106cm Finished table surface needs to be these dimensions Materials already purchased, 1x 🟩 Polyester Velvet, 250cm by 150cm 1x 🟦 Polyester Velvet, 250cm by 150cm 1x ⬛ Quilted Material, 250cm by 150cm I will deliver to you and discuss further. My concept: Sandwiched materials 🟦Back of Blue Velvet (matte) - visible outer layer 🟦Blue Velvet (pile side) - facing quilted material ⬛Quilted material - in the middle 🟩Green Velvet (pile side) facing quilted material 🟩Back of Green Velvet - visible outer layer Note: The pile sides of both velvets are facing inward, toward the quilted center, I preferred the matte backing of the velvet as the visible, external playing surface. Desired Properties of finished product: - Professional table top surface that lays flat, feels smooth, stable with a slight spring in touch. - Minimal wrinkling, fabric shifting and sagging during gameplay - Reversible, soft, and well-balanced - Endures multiple people playing with cards and chips across an evening, (any additional ongoing use would be amazing) Flexible on price, open to creative direction

Fantastic, excellent work
