I’m just going to side-track from the Darling Ranges sewalong for a minute. As you may have noticed, I’m super busy these days – and unfortunately for me that means I don’t have as much free time to do the pieces of sewing I often need to do. I simply cannot keep up right now. After some frustrating/fruitless attempts to find a reliable skilled seamstress in my local area to help me with this – I’ve decided to try reaching out through Design Diary incase there are any seamstresses out there looking for some extra work.
Here’s the basic deal:
- You don’t need to live in Virginia, just in the continental United States (it makes shipping etc much easier and quicker).
- Will need to have your own sewing machine, and preferably a serger/overlocker as well.
- Need to be able to very competent in sewing, feel comfortable sewing with knits and wovens, and have an eye for detail.
- You will be provided with all patterns, fabrics and notions etc. You will just need to sew.
- Reliability and ability to stick to a deadline / schedule is imperative.
- I’m looking for someone honest and easy to get along with, and who can start right away.
- There will be no set “work hours”, though there will be deadlines. You can work from home in your own time
- The work will be temporary spanning the next few weeks/ months, with the possibility for more regular projects.
If you’re interested please send an email to store@megannielsen.com with the subject line “help wanted” for further information and specific details on compensation. If you have a way to show examples of things you’ve made in the past (eg through a blog or flickr set), then please include a link to that – since I won’t be able to physically interview.
UPDATE: The position has now been filled. Thank you SO much to everyone who applied, I’ve been thrilled and overwhelmed by all of the amazing applications !
