The answer

If the tailor denies receiving the fabric and then sews the garment, he is entitled to the agreed-upon wage after performing the work, because he sewed the garment for you at your request, not for himself. Ibn al-Rif'ah said: "If the laundrer denies receiving a garment, then launders it, is he entitled to the wage or not? Yes." It is stated in Asna al-Matalib: "If he laundered the garment then denied it, then produced it, the wage becomes due. Or if he denied it then laundered it not for himself, but for the purpose of the hire, or if he left it unspecified then produced it, the wage also becomes due."
