LR Seamsters is a new app from the LR Threads team. Boutiques post real sewing jobs. Home seamstresses choose the work that fits, set their own prices, and get paid 32 hours after delivery — direct to your bank, through Stripe.
Garment counts, photos, deadline, budget. No mystery briefs.
Set your price, pick your timeline. The boutique picks the seamstress they want.
Track each garment as you finish it. Boutique approves, payment lands in your bank within 32 hours. Always.
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.

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