Summary
Worker who sews dress shirts on the manufacturing line and handles the entire process up to finishing.
Description
Dress shirt sewing workers are specialists who sew pre-cut fabric using sewing machines or by hand, perform finishing tasks such as iron pressing and button attachment to complete dress shirts. They often work on production lines, where the precision of stitches per garment and the speed of processes directly impact product quality and production efficiency. In factories, they rotate through multiple processes, and in case of troubles, they handle issues like sewing machine thread jams while continuing work. Team collaboration is required, including quality control and handoff to subsequent processes.
Future Outlook
Although domestic demand for sewing workers is declining due to the transfer of apparel production overseas, demand for skilled sewing workers is expected to continue in the manufacturing of high-value-added products and functional shirts.
