Looking for a Pattern Maker / Seamstress / Sample Maker

Byron NSW, Australia

Looking for a Pattern Maker / Seamstress / Sample Maker in Byron Bay or nearby 🌞 I’m currently developing a small fashion project and looking for someone local who can help me create a first sample of an oversized T-shirt dress design I have in mind. The style is very oversized, long fit, graphic/streetwear inspired with a relaxed Byron Bay aesthetic. I already have visual references and mockups ready. At this stage I’m mainly looking to: • develop the pattern / fit • create one quality sample first • potentially continue into small production later on Would love to work with someone creative, detail-oriented and experienced in garment construction and sampling. Preferably based in Byron Bay, Gold Coast, Tweed, Ballina or nearby areas 🌴 Please message me if interested or if you know someone amazing ✨

Claire did an amazing job putting the embroidered patches on my PU jacket. She finished everything within a day and the quality was great. She was also really sweet and easy to deal with throughout the whole process. I really appreciated that she drove all the way to pick up and drop off my jacket as well. Highly recommend her if you need someone reliable and thoughtful. ☺️

Need my sewing machine threaded

$30

West Wollongong NSW, Australia

11th May 2026

My eyesight is not the best, even with glasses and a magnifying glass and I struggle to thread the cotton through the eyehole of the needle on the machine. I get mose upset with myself because I cant see what Im doing. Would someone with much much better eyesight be able to come and thread it for me? I have a Brother Sewing Machine and for the life I dont know what model it is, but the Operation Manual book that I have is for the Product Code: 888-V14 Someone with sewing experience please and has been sewing for a long time and also knows Brother sewing machines.

Lovely to deal with and exactly what I needed. I struggle with my eyesight and threading a sewing machine needle is just beyond me — she sorted it quickly and was an absolute pleasure. 100% recommend. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
