Why now, from Jonathan

For five years our LR Threads customers have been turning fabric into something we never could — finished pieces sold out of dining rooms and small-town boutiques. We watched, and decided to build the bridge ourselves.

LR Seamsters is for the people who already know how to sew. No agencies. No cold-pitching. No Facebook-group ghosting. Just real boutiques who need real hands and a clean way to pay.

— Jonathan, founder, LR Threads + LR Seamsters

Honest questions

Do I need a business license?

No. Most LR Seamsters seamstresses sew from home as a side income. Stripe handles payouts as a 1099 contractor — your tax responsibilities are the same as any other freelance work.

What does the work pay?

You set your own prices. Boutiques accept or counter. Typical work ranges from $25 alterations to $400+ small-batch production. You'll see all the details before you bid.

Do I have to be advanced?

No. Boutiques post work at every level — beginner alterations, hemming, hand-finishing, all the way through couture. You'll only see jobs that match your skills.

Do I have to ship the finished work?

Sometimes. Boutiques can pay shipping or arrange local pickup. Shipping labels are pre-paid through the app — you just pack and drop.

What's the catch?

There's a small per-garment platform fee (free for the first month, then $2 unless you upgrade to Pro at $14.99/mo for unlimited reduced fees). Both sides pay equally so neither side feels the squeeze.
