Hi! I’m looking for a skilled seamstress or fashion student to create 10 Mini Skirts using upcycled vintage ties for a designer market in Sydney. The Project: Quantity: 10 Skirts in total. Design: Vertical patchwork style using vintage ties (see reference photos). Silhouette & Volume: I want an A-line / flared fit with plenty of movement and "air" (not a pencil or tight fit). Please use the natural triangular shape of the ties to create a "circle skirt" effect. Details: Each skirt should use around 14 ties to ensure it has enough volume and doesn't sit flat against the body. Features: High-waist elastic casing. Please ensure the elastic is firm enough to hold the weight of the silk ties without rolling or sagging. Hem: "Sharkbite" / pointy hem using the natural tips of the ties. Material: I will provide all pre-washed vintage ties (sorted by color/style for each skirt). No zippers or buttons are needed. Requirements: - Sewing machine + Overlocker (for clean internal finishes). - Experience with silk/polyester fabrics. - Good eye for color/pattern alignment. Timeline: Materials ready: This Sunday (March 29th). Deadline: Finished pieces needed by April 11th. Budget: $320 for the full project.

We are looking for a highly skilled, versatile Seamstress / Tailor with Pattern Making capabilities to join our studio team. This isn't your average alterations gig—we are looking for a technical partner to help us bring experimental concepts to life. If you love the challenge of "how do we make this work?" and have the technical foundation to back it up, this role is for you. The Creative Scope: Technical Construction: High-level sewing and garment construction for production-ready pieces. Pattern Making: Drafting, grading, and manipulating patterns from sketches or draped concepts. Experimental Development: Collaborating on "first-run" samples and troubleshooting construction issues for non-traditional designs. Fit & Finish: Performing precision tailoring and ensuring every garment meets our high-spec aesthetic. Growth & Opportunity: This is a fluid, experimental role. You won't just be executing someone else's vision; you’ll be an integral part of the design-to-production pipeline. For the right person, this role has the potential to evolve into Lead Technical Designer or Head of Production. Requirements: Advanced Technical Skills: Must be proficient with industrial machines (overlockers, straight stitch, etc.) and various fabric types. Pattern Mastery: Ability to create accurate patterns from scratch and adjust existing ones. Creative Problem Solver: You enjoy "hacking" a design to make it more functional or visually striking. Portfolio/Samples: You must be able to demonstrate previous garment construction or pattern work.

Hi! I am a vintage/up-cycle start up business that is in search of a tailor that has the ability to follow pattern pieces. I currently have an influx of old and new stuff that I would like to rework into new items and designs. I have a sewing machine however don’t have the hours to commit. Per item made. I will pay the maker $10-15 per piece depending on complexity. To give example the first pieces I would like to create a dress from large shirts that I have on hand. I have purchased a pattern piece for this desired look and would be in search of someone who can articulate my design into a finished rework/upcycled piece. I would like to create a first range of around 10pieces to begin. So if you feel like you have the ability to meet the criteria then reach out to me and we can talk! The first few pieces will be quite simple in design. Thanks! -Talei

Can someone help me with the sewing for 14 blankets for a massage table

Hey Sewers / Seamstress, I need some some to quickly put 2 x draw strings in a pair of pants. They are for Santa, it already elastic and I need a draw string in each to hold them up. Please help!!! Need this morning for 3.30pm

I have a rectangular foam dog bed (approx 30cm x 70cm), and I would like a new cover on it. -> the bed in the pic currently with a blue cover. I have an existing cover (for a different , but similarly sized dog bed) that I would like to use for this task (as the fabric very good quality / strong). -> the brown cover in the pic. The existing cover needs to be remade to fit the bed. There is enough material but it needs to be cut up/ sewn bag together so it fits the other bed. I understand there may be so additional seams due to the currently structure of the cover as the existing bed bolsters around the sides. There is a zip on the bottom side which goes around 2 sides so the cover can be washed. This will also need to be re-used in the new cover so it can be taken off and washed. The tasker will need to come and collect the cover and the foam insert (bed) from my house, and drop it back once complete. We can discuss more in person then :)
