In-Studio Seamstress & Pattern Maker (Creative & Experimental)

$1,000

Waterloo, New South Wales

14th May 2026

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.

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. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Sew back together torn onesie

$25

Shellharbour NSW, Australia

14th Dec 2025

My dog thought it'd be fun to misbehave under the awful influence of my friends dog, and she got a hold of my sons favourite onesie. I'm hoping someone that knows how to use a sewing machine can put it back together. I'd do it by hand, but that's quite time-consuming and time is something I don't have much of atm due to packing/organising to travel Aus in about a week. Any smaller holes left after the major part is done, I will hand-sew myself. :) Thank you in advance

Dayna did an excellent job fixing my sons favourite onesie, in great time, too! Very grateful for her time and effort 🥰
