Do you like to sew? Does working in a positive environment with friendly, creative folks appeal to you?

I’m seeking someone who knows how to sew to join my mobile upholstery team. The work is on-site, 1-2 days each week at gyms, dental and physical therapy offices located all around Richmond.

Minimal sewing experience is necessary as I’m willing to train the right person. The ideal candidate will need to be dependable, positive, good with time management, and not afraid of waking up early.

The work is typically on a Friday or Saturday and one weekday (either a Monday or Thursday). Perfect for a student, parent, retiree, maker or artist who’s always wanted to learn a trade and be given true hands-on-how-to instruction.
