What are the responsibilities and job description for the Seamstress/ Tailor position at Gear Re-Store?
About Us: We’re an established outdoor industry company in Folcroft, PA. We provide warranty repair services for industry leading brands. Looking for experienced seamstresses, sewers, sewing technicians, production sewers etc.
Job Description: Pay starts at $19/hr. This is a 40hr per week position.
Duties include performing sewn repairs on outdoor soft goods such as jackets, backpacks, tents, sleeping bags etc.
This is not your average sewing position, as every item is different, and the job requires as much problem solving and thinking as it does actual sewing.

Qualifications:
- Experience operating an INDUSTRIAL sewing machine required.
- Experience sewing in a professional capacity highly preferred.
- The ability to problem solve and think critically is required.
- The ability to commute to Folcroft and work on-site is required.
- A high level of technical proficiency is required — you must be excellent at fabric handing, able to maintain a seam allowance, know when to “force it” and when to “finesse it” etc.
If interested please email with a resume and/or brief description of your qualifications, why you’re interested and a little bit about your background.
