Job Type: Full-Time / Part-Time

Compensation: 50% Commission Split on all completed alterations (Realistic earning potential of $25.00 to $40.00+ per hour for an efficient worker).

About Our Shop

We are a highly successful, customer-focused alterations, garment care and dry cleaning shop known for our friendly neighborhood vibe, elite craftsmanship, and modern workflow. We operate on a unique Three-Tier Production System designed to protect our tailors' time.

In our shop, you are treated like a master surgeon. A junior apprentice handles your garment deconstruction (seam ripping), basic marking, plain hemming, and final industrial pressing. Your hands stay on the machines, allowing you to focus 100% of your time on high-skill, high-ticket sewing to maximize your weekly commission checks.

Position Overview

We are seeking a fast, highly precise, and professional Senior Tailor / Seamstress.

  • Advanced Reconstructions: Perform jacket back alterations (1, 2, and 3 seams), lined sleeve adjustments from the shoulder or cuff, shoulder liftings, and full garment relining.
  • Maintain Target Production Speeds: Adhere to our shop's structured "Target Time" workflow guidelines (e.g., executing a standard lined jacket sleeve adjustment within a 45-minute production window).
  • Collaborative Workflow: Partner seamlessly with our Junior Apprentice, effectively passing off finished structural pieces for them to execute final hems, closures, and industrial steam pressing.

Qualifications & Experience

  • Professional Machinery Expertise: Minimum 3–5 years of commercial experience operating high-speed industrial straight-stitchers, industrial blind-hemmers, and overlock sergers.
  • Master Tailoring Knowledge: Deep understanding of internal garment anatomy, canvas structuring, boned bodices, and lining manipulation.
  • Efficiency Mindset: Must understand and embrace "Commercial Excellence" over slow couture methods. We prioritize replicating factory finishes quickly and accurately over microscopic, time-consuming over-engineering.
  • Punctual & Reliable: Strong time-management skills with the ability to enter a focused "flow state" during high-volume production blocks. Bi-linqual Spanish and English but not a requirement, however Communicating to tier one and tier two will require English and some

Why You’ll Love Working Here

  • Massive Earning Potential: Our newly optimized, re-balanced shop price list explicitly charges premium rates for complex labor. Because you keep a 50% split, your hourly rate scales up dramatically the faster and more focused you sew.
  • No Low-Value Waste: You are completely barred from doing basic $12 jean hems or wasting hours ripping out factory chain stitches. Your time is treated as highly valuable.
  • State-of-the-Art Workroom: Work with high-speed industrial machinery and heavy-duty steam tools in a highly organized, climate-controlled, and motivating shop environment.
