Why hire a local tailor nearby through Airtasker?
Tailoring your clothes is a great investment. A well-fitting shirt or suit can spell the difference between drab or fab and give you the confidence boost that you need. But, going to a tailor shop or searching for tailors & alterations near your house can be time-consuming. And that’s before you go through measuring and fitting! But with Airtasker, finding and booking a tailor in your area takes only a few minutes.
When you request a tailor on our platform, you get to specify the location for your appointment. No need to go to a shop after work or on the weekend! Just have a Tasker drop by your home or office. You also get to specify the details of the task and your budget - this way, you avoid any overpriced fees, and you only pay for what you need.
And even before you commit to any tailor, you get to canvass their rates and customer service reviews, so you’re sure to book the best fit. Ready to book a highly-rated tailor around you? Select the “Post a task” button to get started!

Top Tailors related questions
First, turn the pants inside-out and try them on. Use tailor’s chalk and pins to mark how much fabric you want to take in. Sew on top of the original seam then gradually turn the stitch towards your marks. Then, try on the jeans, cut the seam allowance, and zigzag the edges, so they don’t fray. If the jeans gape at the waistband, pinch the fabric, pin it into place, and stitch two darts on top of your back pockets.
It depends on what you want to be tailored. If you want to let the hems down or shorten the coat or sleeves, your tailor can usually do that for you. But, your local tailor can’t change anything around the shoulders. If a coat has gotten too tight around your shoulders, it’s best to trade it in for a new one.
If you're deciding on a coat style, check out this guide on double-breasted vs single-breasted coats to learn which style is best for you.
Tailors can’t:
Take more than 5 centimetres out of your jeans’ centre seam
Make a garment one size larger or two sizes smaller
Adjust shoulder pads or structure in a jacket or coat
Change the button profile or lapels of a jacket
Let out the seams or hems of garments made from silk, linen, or cotton
You can book a rated & reviewed Tasker offering tailoring near you on Airtasker! To start:
Tap the “Post a task” button and fill out the form.
Don’t forget to include the details of the garment you want to alter or create.
Indicate your location and budget as well.
Tap “Get quotes” and wait for offers from nearby Taskers.
Review their quotes as well as their customer ratings.
Once you find a Tasker you like, tap to confirm your appointment.
When you first meet with your tailor, you can ask to see their previous pieces. Then, you can ask if the proposed cut, style, and cloth will meet your aesthetic and practical needs. Don’t forget to ask your tailor for a timeline, especially if you’re preparing for a wedding. You’ll also want to make sure that there is enough time for fittings, and that your tailor knows whether you’re at a steady weight or are currently dieting.
Alterations can take anywhere from 3 days to a whole week, depending on how busy your tailor is. If you’re rushing to get ready for a special occasion (say, a wedding or an office party), consider booking tailoring near you through Airtasker to help you with events. While you might not be able to rush a highly-rated, in-demand tailor, you can spend time managing the other to-dos of your event.
You can get your pants hemmed at local tailoring shops, dry cleaners with alteration services, or by booking a tailor near you on Airtasker. Prices and turnaround times vary, so it's best to compare options and read reviews before choosing a Tasker.
On average, tailoring costs can range from $2 to $250, depending on the materials, your location, the type of garment you have, and the service you need (such as hemming a pair of pants or adjusting the sleeves of a suit).
Get a more detailed breakdown of how much tailoring costs to set the right budget when hiring a Tasker.
Tailoring refers to creating or customizing clothing to fit a specific person by making significant adjustments or even making a garment from scratch. Alterations, on the other hand, involve minor adjustments to an existing piece of clothing to improve fit, such as taking in a dress or shortening sleeves.
Both services can help achieve a better fit, but tailoring is usually more extensive and customized. Learn more about the difference between alterations and tailoring to get the right service for your needs.
Expect to pay anywhere from $10 to $30 to have a pair of pants hemmed. However, prices can sometimes fall outside of this range depending on the different factors, such as your location and complexity of the task.
In general, clothing alterations can cost around $10 to $75. On Airtasker, you can book a tailor near you and specify the details of your task to get the best estimate from experts in your area.
Yes, some tailors offer same-day suit tailoring near you, but it depends on the complexity of the alterations and the Tasker's availability. Simple adjustments like hemming pants or taking in a jacket slightly may be completed within a few hours, while more complex alterations could take longer. To ensure availability, it’s best to check with local tailors on Airtasker and discuss your specific needs before booking a task.

What do tailoring services include?
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.
And when booking a tailor near you on 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 local 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 services
Looking for a suit tailor near you to help with your formal wear? 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 - your Tasker brings the supplies, takes your measurements and requests (or in the case of made-to-measure, lets you choose a pattern), and assists 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!

Sew 10-15 embroidered patches on a denim jacket
$30
Ocean Park CA, United States
Oct 12th 2025
You can do the task at your home but I put in person because you’d need to pick up the items and drop them back off when it’s finished. I can potentially drop off depending on location! I have a denim jacket and about 10-15 patches I want sewn on. I’ll place them in the spots and I just need you to do the sewing. I will have the patches ready between Oct 17- Oct 20 and I’d like this done by Oct 22 (as soon as possible) but can be a bit flexible! I attached photos of one I made in the passed. It’ll be a different jacket and different patches but same idea for the project. Thanks so much :) excited to meet someone to work with!!

Assembling tv console 72-90 inches from pier1 in box
Randolph was very inefficient and unprofessional. He had to assemble a standard Pier 1 TV stand with doors and it took him 6 hrs to complete this task. He was messy, scratched the unit and kept asking for help. He even left the bathroom messy when he used it and kept lingering around after work was finally completed. I had to finally ask him to leave and completed assembling the door knobs on the unit myself. I would not recommend him.
Sewing a pattern for a costume
$200
Los Angeles CA, USA
Oct 3rd 2025
I have started, and made about 30-40% making a clown costume from Simplicity pattern #8773 letter A. I have all of the material, the pattern has been cut out along with the pieces and I have started sewing a few together. I have been unable to finished the costume myself. I'm unfamiliar with using a sewing machine and the results are evident. I also stop quite frequently because I have a circulatory disorder and am unable to hold items longer than a handful of seconds at a time before I start to lose sensation in my hands. Someone with experience could probably make this costume easily. I would like to make the collar a little fuller and longer and I have purchased material in a different color scheme than what is depicted on the Simplicity cover. I have a photograph of a clown costume I am trying to make this Simplicity clown costume look similar to for reference. It would be amazing to have it completed by October 16th but that can perhaps be changed if more time is needed.
