Seamstress / Seamster Needed

Are you motivated by new challenges? Want to work in a creative, hands-on environment where no two days are the same?

If your answer is yes, keep reading…

The Menders is looking for a seamstress/seamster to join our team. We specialize in performing repairs on technical outerwear, apparel, and other outdoor gear.

As the time to get someone up to speed is often lengthy, we are looking for employees who are in love with repairing and who want to join us for the long term.

Sewing experience is an asset, but we are absolutely willing to train the right person who is eager to learn.

We’re looking for someone who:
• Works well in a team
• Communicates clearly and respectfully
• Is dependable and shows up ready to work
• Takes pride in quality workmanship
• Enjoys problem-solving and working with their hands

Now, the real talk…

We are a close-knit team with big personalities and a strong sense of humour. We laugh a lot, we tease each other, and yes—there’s the occasional swearing. It’s all in good fun, and we genuinely enjoy working together.

If you’re someone who:

• Can take a joke (and dish it back a little)
• Doesn’t get easily offended
• Likes being part of a team that feels more like a crew

…you’ll probably fit right in.

Also—you must be okay working around dogs, because they’re part of the shop life here.

We work closely with fabrics and customer garments, so being able to maintain a scent-free
environment is important.

This is a supportive, hands-on environment where you’ll learn a lot and be part of something a little different.
