Description:

We’re hiring a Seamstress Trainee to support garment production in our sewing factory — perfect for someone who enjoys repetition, structure, and building real technical skill in a team setting. You’ll begin by learning the basics — how to operate different sewing machines, handle fabrics, and follow safety procedures. You’ll assist in sewing specific garment sections such as sleeves, pockets, collars, or waistbands depending on your station. You’ll help pin garments for fitting under supervision, learning how to read body language and measure for comfort as well as fit. You’ll learn how to reinforce seams, add hidden snaps or Velcro for stage changes, and hem garments to suit choreography or blocking. You’ll support alterations ranging from subtle hem lifts to full silhouette reshaping, under the guidance of expert seamstresses. You’ll support quality control by flagging stitching errors, skipped seams, or material flaws before garments move forward. You’ll be taught how to press garments properly using steamers and irons to give each piece a polished look. You’ll help track inventory, log finished repairs, and prepare garments for pickup or delivery using order systems.

Basic Qualifications:

• Replace zippers, buttons, linings, and other garment components as needed.
• Support larger production projects by completing assigned stitching or assembly tasks.
• Track orders, manage deadlines, and keep detailed notes for each customer or project.
• Work with a variety of materials including silk, denim, wool, and stretch fabrics.
• Maintain a clean, organized workstation and keep tools in good working order.

Preferred:

• Willing to assist in pressing, steaming, and final presentation of finished pieces.
• Enjoys transforming fabric into functional or decorative clothing pieces.
• Organized in managing multiple sewing projects, client deadlines, or production quotas.
• Experience sewing garments, home textiles, or accessories either by hand or using industrial sewing machines.
• Capable of hand-sewing detailed work such as buttons, appliqués, beads, and lace.

Benefits:

• Paid time off and wellness support — because even needle hands need rest.
• Opportunities to design, not just sew — your ideas matter here.
• Get recognized for flawless finishes, not just fast jobs.
• Stable income from a timeless trade — people will always need clothes that fit.
• Work independently or with a close-knit (pun intended) crew.

You’ll rotate between stitching, fitting, repairs, and backstage support during tech rehearsals or filming days. You’ll be expected to work quickly and adapt to last-minute changes with calmness and precision. You’ll rotate between mending stations, custom work, and machine tasks to gain a full view of the tailoring process. You’ll assist in preparing items for pickup or delivery — folding, tagging, and packaging garments with care. You’ll be mentored by experienced industrial seamstresses who will teach you both speed and craftsmanship. No experience is required — just dexterity, flexibility, and a passion for storytelling through costume. This internship is great for someone considering tailoring, dry-cleaning operations, or fashion repair services. If you're ready to stitch as part of a fast-moving team that builds garments from the ground up, we’re ready to train you. If you’re ready to work with lace, patience, and love, we’re ready to train you in the bridal atelier.
