JUNIOR TRAINEE SEAMSTRESS – COUTURE FASHION

Sydney-based luxury fashion business | Casual

We’re looking for a junior trainee seamstress with creative flair to join our small, creative team in a luxury couture fashion business.

This is a great opportunity for a young person who is genuinely interested in fashion, design and textiles and would love to gain hands-on experience working behind the scenes of a couture fashion label while still at school or tertiary studies.

The ideal person:

  • Has a genuine interest in fashion, design and textiles
  • Is currently studying Textiles or Design & Technology at school or a Fashion related tertiary qualification (ideal, but not essential)
  • Has some basic experience with sewing and/or hand sewing
  • Is creative, practical and enjoys working with their hands
  • Has a good eye for detail and takes pride in their work
  • Is reliable, enthusiastic and keen to learn
  • Is interested in developing their sewing skills and gaining experience in a professional fashion environment

You’ll learn about:

  • Couture garment cutting and construction
  • Hand sewing and finishing techniques
  • Working with delicate and luxury fabrics
  • Garment preparation
  • Pattern and garment construction processes
  • The day to day workings of couture making

Previous professional experience is not required — we’re primarily looking for someone with the right attitude, an interest in learning and a genuine passion for fashion and textiles.

The role would suit a school student or junior entrant looking to build practical skills and experience in the fashion industry.
