Key Responsibilities Sew and finish womenswear samples across a range of fabrics (silk, viscose, crepe, denim, stretch) with impeccable construction and fit. Apply stitching details, trims, and embellishments (e.g., top-stitching, French seams, baby hems, coverstitch) with consistent quality control at every stage. Balance speed with precision to meet sample room timelines without compromising make quality. Support production where required: create occasional production samples and assist with ad-hoc cutting, alterations, and repairs.
