Seamstress Jobs in Decatur, GA (NOW HIRING)

A Seamstress works with clothing and textiles. Your specific job duties vary, depending on your employer. If you work for a clothing manufacturer, you may work in a factory, using patterns and industrial sewing machines to create large lots of clothing. Seamstresses also work in alteration and dry cleaning stores, making repairs and adjustments to garments. Simple repairs include adjusting hems, fixing tears, mending zippers, and applying buttons. Brides hire Seamstresses to alter their wedding dresses, which are more complex and may take weeks or months to complete. Seamstresses often work in dressmaking, costume design, handbag making, and occasionally on specialty items, such as medical correctional devices or bulletproof vests.

While both seamstresses and tailors work with clothing, seamstresses typically focus on sewing, mending, and assembling garments, often in production or alteration settings. Tailors specialize in fitting, customizing, and creating garments to specific measurements, often providing personalized services. The roles overlap, but tailors usually require more specialized skills in fitting and pattern adjustments.
