Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Women's clothing sewers are skilled workers in the women's clothing manufacturing process who cut fabric according to patterns, sew using sewing machines or hand-stitching, and complete the products.
Description
Women's clothing sewers work in manufacturing sites for blouses, skirts, dresses, jackets, and other women's clothing. They cut fabric based on patterns and assemble parts using industrial sewing machines or hand-sewing to complete the products. They must understand fabric characteristics and perform precise work considering seam strength and finishing quality. In mass production factories, they perform line work to maintain production efficiency and quality for large-scale production. For made-to-order or sample sewing, skills to handle complex designs and specifications with meticulous attention to detail are particularly important.
Future Outlook
Although domestic sewing demand is declining due to the shift of apparel production overseas, demand for skilled sewers in high-value-added products and made-to-order fields will continue.
