Hiring Experienced Fabricators

When looking for experienced fabricators, workrooms often think they need to hire people who have worked with draperies. I have found a much wider range of candidates when considering those who are simply proficient in sewing.

What to Say

“I have a business where I make beautiful things for home interiors like draperies and pillows. I am looking for someone who likes to sew."

A candidate that is comfortable with using a home sewing machine to make embroidery, quilting, doll clothes, home draperies, clothes, shoe repair, tailoring, or alterations has many skills that will transfer beautifully to a drapery workroom.

“I have a business where I make beautiful things for home interiors like draperies and pillows. I am looking for someone who likes to sew.”

PRO TIP:
Leave the interaction with a physical reminder. Handing them a business card or exchanging contact information via text message is a great way to stay in touch.
