Top Sewing related questions
Taskers can sew any item for you, be it clothing, accessories, or upholstery. Sewing experts can make, repair, or alter fabric pieces, such as shirts, dresses, curtains, and seat covers. They can also add embellishments like embroidery onto clothes and other fabrics.
Taskers can help you with one-off sewing tasks or long-term sewing work. So whether you simply need a button sewn onto a blouse or a couple of mittens made for your business, Taskers can help! As long as a Tasker is available, you can get small or big tasks done.
You can either supply the sewing materials or have a sewing expert provide everything for the service. Tell us about your task, and we’ll connect you with sewists who’ll help ensure you get the perfect fabric or right colour of thread for your sewing task.
Sewing services may take anywhere from an hour to a couple of days. Lead times depend on Tasker availability and skill, as well as the nature of the task. For example, mending a rip may take a few minutes, while making a wedding dress may take up to 9 months. But if you have an urgent sewing request, no worries! Just tell us what you need, and available Taskers can start reaching out to you. Â
Yes. Dressmakers and seamstresses have overlapping skills, but they differ in certain skill sets. In general, dressmakers specialise in making dresses. What’s more, dressmakers tend to have a wider range of skills, from designing a dress to putting fabrics together. Meanwhile, seamstresses or seamsters are considered a ‘jack of all trades’ in sewing. Their main task is to sew garments together.
Yes, we can help you find same-day sewing services. If you’re in a rush, simply tell us how soon you need the sewing service. We’ll then connect you with available sewing services near you. Nearby sewing services can come to your location as soon as possible and even sew your garment on-site. But if you’re busy running errands, your Tasker can instead collect your item and bring it back to you once it’s repaired or altered.

Sewing/patching canvas bell tent
£50
Wootton, Northamptonshire
29th Aug 2026
Hi, I've no idea of what this should cost so ignore what I put for budget, I am also getting quotes from specialised tent repair companies so I'll have more context then. I have a 5m canvas bell tent (300gsm I think). It has some holes/small rips that need stitching and/or patches added. There are around 5 in total, no more than a few inches each, but 2 are on tension points/seams, the others are on flat sections. I would be able to bring it to you, and could leave it for repair. There is no rush for this, I won't be using it until next year (spring 2027). I'd be happy to be flexible around when and how long it will take etc. One section pictured seems to have a few small holes forming so would need a large patch I think. I'm happy to get the material needed for patches if advised on what I need to get to provide. Thank you!
