Modern Sewing Co. is a small Hackney based business which provides high quality PDF patterns and online workshops to home sewers all over the world. Our brand ethos is that anyone can sew beautiful, high quality clothing from their own home.

We are looking for a talented pattern cutter and seamstress to work with on developing our range of PDF Patterns and bringing more beautiful designs to the home sewing world.

Your role will be to manage the development of new patterns. This will include:

We are looking to work with someone who has a thorough knowledge of garment construction, who loves making clothes and would enjoy being part of a very small team. Modern Sewing Co. is just 2 years old but it has a quickly growing and highly engaged following and we're excited to see where we can take the business.

This will be a part-time role which will be roughly 2 days a week. Working days and hours are relatively flexible and you can work from our studio or from your own space occasionally if it suits you.
