Need Ideas For Quests

Really Really Experienced
In a Story I am writing I have two characters who the protagonist meets. One is a tailor and the other makes leather. I am trying to think of a quest the hero can do for the two of them. Best I can think of so far is the tailor ask him for some special material like wool from a satyr. Also looking for ideas for a farm girl. The first quest I have is dealing with an imp attacking the livestock at night.
 
It would depend greatly on your setting. I'm assuming fantasy, probably DnD Forgotten Realms level of technology and society? It also depends on how serious you want your story to be. I'm also assuming you want the quests to be erotic in nature.

Idea: There have been complaints made against the tailor that their clothes have been abruptly disappearing at the worst possible times and places. The tailor swears it's not their fault but suspects a local witch is cursing their clothes. The protagonist has to go and slay the witch, or persuade her to stop, etc.
 
For the tailor: A customer made a request for a new dress made from a special, rare silk. The tailor does not have enough in stock, but can't just go and get more due to lack of time - other clothes need to be made as well. Thus the protagonist is sent to get more silk.

For any of the three:
1) The character in question (tailor, leather worker or farm girl) needs to go to some location out of town and will pay for escort.
2) The character in question (tailor, leather worker or farm girl) has trouble sleeping due to weird sounds from outside their home that can be heard only at night. They will pay if the protagonist puts an end to the sounds.

For the tailor or leather worker: A customer ordered a specific expensive item made for them. The item is now ready, but the customer has not come to pick it up and pay for it. Find out why.

I got the mental image of stitches and lacing coming undone suddenly, making it seem as though the clothing was made with poor workmanship. Some prankster possesses a magic ring that allows the wearer to make the stitches magically wind or unwind as the ringed finger passes over them, effectively turning any stitching into a magic zipper.
 
For the farm girl it could also be something mundane. She might have been given a ton of chores and could use an extra pair of hands around the farm in exchange for some of her allowance or a more sexy reward.

Or she asks him to fix a hole in her bucket. You might be able to pull some jokes from the dear Liza/ dear Henry skit or/and make some sexual innuendos.

You didn't really give much details to work with.
What kind of setting you're using?
Is the hero male or female or both?

Some of the most classical rpg quests I could think out of the top of my head:

1)Farm girl lost her mother/father/lover's locket when she went to the river to wash clothes. Fetch!
2)Tailor has been commissioned a special dress from the Duke as wedding gift for the Pricess. He needs the the silk of a very rare and poisonous spider to weave it.
3)The tanner needs the uh... the skin of some wild rare animal/monster?

These are pretty straighforward but you didn't specify if you wanted them to be sex quests.
Still you can easily add some spice to them if you want.
 
Thank you for all the ideas so far. Kind of going for serious quest with sex on the side though a more erotic quest may come later. Or more daring quest with greater rewards. Setting is a male hero in a medieval fantasy setting.
 
For the tanner quest to get skin if you did want to make it silly you could specify foreskin.
As for serious maybe they lost an animal and the mc needs to go find it.
 
Theseus inspired maybe? e.g. the hero has requested 2 special items to help him rescue the 7 virgins who set sail annually to be sacrificed to the minotaur from Athens. He asks for an unbreakable ball of thread/wool to help him find his way back out of the labyrinth, and a special pair of ultra-soft quiet leather sneakers to help him get around silently. (The erotic element being the fun to be had with the virgins found trapped in the maze/labyrinth).
 
Idea for a farm girl is a bit out there. This is from the Elektra / Oresteia classic.
An evil tyrant has killed the old king and taken his place by marrying the old kings wife (who is Elektras mother). He cant kill Princess Elektra or there would be riots in the streets. and if she marries some other prince there would be a challenge to the throne, so in the story he makes her marry some old farmer to get her out of the way. I guess the erotic twist is that Princess Elektra, the farm girl is banged by every farm hand around, then there is some sort of rescue power/swap where Elektra and her mother are both involved.
 
Okay new round. Wondering if anyone who can think of ideas for a brothel.

I am thinking certain revealing clothes or fabrics, help buying a new brothel to expand or one of the whores wishes to become a madam, hunting certain flowers that release an intoxicating aroma when made into a perfume few men can resist.
 
You mean quests to do with a brothel? Well, there is finding one of the brothel's girls that has gone missing, helping get rid of a competing brothel, helping save the brothel from competitors that want to drive it out of business, helping the madam deal with corrupt guards, removing a curse that has been placed on one or more of the girls working there...
 
Well, stealing from the old westerns comes to mind, specifically "The Cheyenne Social Club."

Classic issues include customers who don't feel they should pay/think they need to follow the rules. Medical issues. Rivalry involving favoritism. Do you hire a guard? If so, do you go with the eunuch, or make a deal to reduce wages in exchange for "Favors". A local mob wants in on the profits if the activity is illegal, or the government does if it's legal.

In Planescape: Torment, the Brothel quests included trying to explain sex to a non-sexual being, trying to find out why a certain courtesan is quite as "sinister" as she is, (Spoiler, Her mother was a night hag), dealing with a pervert mage who has transformed himself into a nightstand and steals the prostitutes underwear, and hunting down a character's unique scent. (This game was weird, I would like to point out. Awesome, but weird and existentialist, and requires WAY too much reading.)
 
For the leatherworker: He is in a funk because a richer, cheaper, shoddier leatherware shop is stealing his business. Convince him to pursue a blue-ocean strategy by
getting him to make kinky leatherware instead.

For the farm girl: Help her sneak out at night, while also convincing her mother to accept her daughter's ways (may lead to a mother-daughter threesome).

For the brothel: Help them gain an edge by finding girls who cater to more specific tastes beyond "skinny+big tits". May include monster/non-human girls.
 
Maybe the hero can help the two craftsmen (tailor and leather guy) with a common enemy - a lord taking too much tax, a priest who requires them to work for free and threatens them with hell, a foreign competitor making products for cheap and undercutting them....
