Formalwear Seamstress

Thimble Alterations, based in Berkeley, seeks an experienced seamstress to alter formalwear and special-occasion garments on an independent contractor basis. You'll work with suits, tuxedos, dresses, and gowns—hemming, tapering, waist and sleeve adjustments, and detailed finishing. The role involves conducting fittings, taking precise measurements, and delivering polished work from a home studio. Strong hand and machine sewing skills, solid garment construction knowledge, and professional client communication are required. Compensation is USD 20,000–40,000 annually; you choose which jobs fit your schedule and build a repeat client base through your profile.
