About Unwanted FC

Unwanted FC is growing, and we're looking for skilled and passionate tailors to join us for an upcoming sustainability event on the Central Coast. After this event, there may be ongoing work and chances for you to join our team.

We specialise in upcycling garments - transforming old uniforms, football kits, and unwanted materials into unique, bespoke items like tote bags, shoe bags, bucket hats and more. Every piece has a story, and we need more creative hands to help tell it.

What we're looking for:

  • Experience with sewing, garment construction, or textile work
  • A love for upcycling, reworking, or repairing materials
  • Access to your own sewing machine

If you're into sustainability, love working with your hands, and want to be part of something meaningful - we'd love to hear from you.
