2 weeks ago


Williamstown, Victoria, Australia Studio Esoteric Full time $40,000 - $60,000 per year

Location:
Melbourne, VIC (pickup/drop-off required)

About Us

Studio Esoteric is an independent, Melbourne-based fashion label focused on thoughtful, small-scale production. We're looking for a skilled seamstress to support upcoming releases with small-batch sewing.

Role

You'll be sewing small production runs of skirts, dresses, and pants from provided patterns and fabrics. All materials will be supplied — fabric, notions, patterns — and you'll work independently from your own space.

Production volume will vary depending on sales, but this is strictly small-batch work (not mass production). Timelines will align with product drops, with some flexibility.

Requirements

  • Melbourne-based (for easy pickup/drop-off or fittings)
  • Strong attention to detail + clean, professional finish (stitch quality, neat seams)
  • Confident working from patterns independently
  • Reliable with timelines
  • Able to provide examples of past work (portfolio, photos, or references)
  • Own sewing machine, overlocker & workspace

Type:
Contract / Freelance (paid per piece, negotiable)

How to Apply

Please send a short introduction and examples of your past work to
