Apply to Pattern test and / or be a part of our photo team FOR OUR EXTENDED SIZE RANGE
We are currently looking for makers to join both our pattern testing team as well as our photo team. You can apply for one or both (the application form is the same for both and will ask you what you are interested in applying for).
Details about our size range can be found here.
PATTERN TESTING
We are looking for a group of makers that we can contact when we are ready to pattern test. Depending on the project, we may only need a toile (muslin) made, while in other cases we will need you to make a final garment. You will be paid to pattern test and will also receive a PDF copy of the finalised pattern.
How it will work:
We'll reach out to the group when we have a new project. We will show you the pattern, give you a deadline and a budget for the project. Makers who are interested and available can apply for the particular project. We will be available throughout the process to answer any sizing / sewing related questions that you might have. In some cases we may also sew-along together in a group setting (depending on the project).
Makers from all sewing levels are encouraged to apply as we like to see how a range of different makers find using our patterns.
Makers will take photos of the garments on themselves, or another person, and submit them before the deadline. These photos are for fit feedback only and will not be shared. No styled photos / Instagram posts required.
Testers to complete an online feedback form where you will be asked questions about the pattern and the instructions.
If this sounds like something you would be interested in, please scroll down to the button at the bottom to apply.
PHOTO TEAM
We are looking for a small group of makers that we can contact when we have samples that need to be sewed and photographed. This is paid work and you will only sew the projects you are interested in making. The garments will be yours to keep and you can shoot photos on yourself or a friend / family member. We recommend only applying for the photo team if you are of an intermediate sewing level or higher.
How it will work:
We'll reach out to the group when we have a new project. We will show you the pattern, give you a deadline and a budget for the project (this will include an hourly sewing / photographing rate as well as budget for fabric, notions and pattern printing).
Makers who are interested and available can apply for the particular project. We will be available throughout the process to answer any sizing / sewing related questions that you might have. Your sewing will need to show off the details of the patterns, so we suggest that your are fairly confident to sew a range of different garment types.
Makers will take photos of the garments on themselves, or another person, and submit them before the deadline. Although we're not looking for professional photographers, we will need the photos to look great and be in line with our brand. You can check out some of our past photo shoots here to get an idea.
The garment you sew will be yours to keep. You are welcome to share the photos on your own platforms, but by being part of this group you are giving permission to In the Folds to share on all platforms to promote the pattern. Photos will be used on product listings, Instagram and email marketing.
