The seamstress profession has always been in demand. Since ancient times, every girl was trained to be a seamstress, but specially trained seamstresses were highly valued. Do you also want to create fashionable or necessary clothes? Then training to be a seamstress is definitely the right choice.

Despite the fact that the choice of clothes is now huge, there is often nothing to choose from. Many things are made from low-quality materials, while high-quality ones are either prohibitively expensive or of the wrong style. Many people, especially those with a non-standard figure, are forced to go to a tailor shop or look for a good seamstress at home.

The seamstress-motorist is engaged in stitching the cut parts, the cutter is engaged in cutting. But by studying to become a seamstress at any educational institution, you will be able to master both. Therefore, it is more correct to call your future profession not a seamstress, but a tailor, or seamstress.

Where can I get training to become a seamstress?

As a seamstress, training can be completed at a vocational school (vocational school), college (technical school) or institute. If you do not plan to work as a seamstress, but just want to learn how to sew “for yourself,” then you can complete cutting and sewing courses. There you will be taught basic things (patterning, cutting, basting, seams, etc.), but further you will have to learn on your own. If you want to become a professional, it is better to get a special education.

Vocational school

You can enter a vocational school after 9th or 11th grade. Training to become a seamstress after 9th grade will take 3-4 years, after 11th grade - 1.5-2 years. Upon completion of your studies, you will receive a Vocational Technical Education Diploma.

As a rule, training in almost all vocational schools takes place in several stages, or steps.

The first 2 years – complete secondary education and obtaining 2-3 categories in the profession;

Next year - specialization in tailoring men's or women's clothing;

Last year - close, designing and modeling clothes.

College (technical school)

You can go to college after 11th grade. In the specialty of a seamstress, training lasts 3 years, a tailor or cutter - 4 years. In college you will receive a secondary specialized education.

Institute

You can go to college after school, or after college or vocational school.

A higher education will allow you to work not only as a seamstress. It is quite possible that you will choose another related profession, such as a technologist in an atelier or light industry, a clothing designer or fashion designer.

Seamstress training form

In vocational schools and colleges there is only full-time education, and in the institute - daytime, evening and correspondence. Full-time students study for 4 years, evening and part-time students study for 5 years.

When entering, they usually take into account Unified State Exam scores (from 30 to 60) or State Examination scores in the following subjects:

Russian language;

Mathematics;

Chemistry or physics (required only for university).

What do seamstresses study?

Of course, in any educational institution, first you will study some of the “school” subjects. And if you entered a vocational school after 9th grade, then the entire 10-11th grade school program. But this is inevitable when choosing any profession.

At the same time, you will begin taking subjects in your specialty:

Materials Science;

By studying materials science, you will learn everything about the composition and properties of natural and artificial fabrics (viscose, acetate, synthetic and others), learn how to select suitable materials for different types of clothing.

Sewing production technology;

This is one of the main subjects in seamstress training. It is here that you will learn everything about sewing machines, tools and sewing accessories. And also study all types of seams and stitches, finishing of parts and features of clothing assembly.

Drawing and graphics;

You will begin your study of this subject with the general laws and means of composition, and end with the creation of your own sketches.

Architectonics of volumetric forms;

Although the name of the discipline seems complex and incomprehensible, this subject studies the creation of three-dimensional products (frame costumes, draperies, pleats and flounces).

History of fashion and history of costume;

One of the most interesting and educational subjects. In order to model your own products, you need to have a good understanding of different styles and fashion trends and understand their compatibility. Knowledge of cutting techniques, color patterns and aesthetics of costumes from different eras can help you find new solutions when designing clothes.

Design of light industry products in CAD.

It is also one of the most important subjects, without good knowledge of which it is difficult to get a job in modern production. Simply put, CAD is a software package that provides automatic design. You design a product of a certain size, and the program uses it to create patterns for the entire size range.

Industrial practice and career

The first time after training to be a seamstress in practical classes, you will only have educational practice in the workshops of the educational institution, where you will learn the basics of sewing.

In the future, practical training will take place in an atelier, garment factories or light industry enterprises. There you will gain experience in sewing and also learn how to work with different materials (such as leather, fur or knitwear).

Having become a professional, you can get a job in a tailor shop, specialized stores, teach, or open your own business sewing and repairing clothes. In the end, having received sewing training, you can sew yourself unique outfits.

The Russian proverb “You are greeted by your clothes, but seen off by your mind” is irrefutable proof that clothing is of great importance not only for protecting a person’s body from the cold and prying eyes, but for shaping public opinion. This is why we spend so much time in stores, choosing not so much high-quality, but rather beautiful clothes, for which each of us should say a big thank you to the representatives of the seamstress profession.

The Russian proverb “You are greeted by your clothes, but seen off by your mind” is irrefutable proof that clothing is of great importance not only for protecting a person’s body from the cold and prying eyes, but for shaping public opinion. That is why we spend so much time in stores, choosing not so much high-quality, but beautiful clothes, for which each of us should say a big thank you to the representatives seamstress profession.

Let us note that seamstress is an exclusively female profession, since only representatives of the fair half of humanity are characterized by scrupulousness, accuracy and a tendency to monotonous work. That is, exactly those qualities that are necessary to perform the professional duties of a seamstress. But this does not mean that every woman can master this profession, since you also need to have a certain amount of talent, and also be prepared for the disadvantages of working with a sewing machine, which we will talk about today.

Who is the seamstress?

– a qualified worker professionally engaged in sewing clothes, shoes, hats and various accessories (bags, gloves, scarves, etc.). It is generally accepted that seamstress and dressmaker are different names for the same profession. However, this is not so, since there is one, but big difference between them - a dressmaker performs all operations aimed at making a garment (from cutting to sewing), and a seamstress only sews.

The name of the profession comes from the Old Russian word "shvei" (one who sews). The history of the profession goes back to primitive society, when people realized that they could protect themselves from the cold with the help of animal skins, and learned to sew them together with ox sinews threaded into pointed stone plates. As society developed, seamstresses' tools improved: first, the familiar steel needles and linen threads appeared, and then sewing machines (the first sewing machines appeared in the 18th and 19th centuries).

Note that before the mass appearance of sewing equipment, the seamstress (outdated name - milliner) was engaged exclusively in tailoring. Today, this profession has a huge number of narrow specializations, which are determined by the direction of production: sewing outerwear, joining shoe parts, making clothes from knitwear, producing bags, etc.

The professional responsibilities of a seamstress practically do not depend on specialization, and include: sewing a product (by machine or by hand), monitoring the consistency of the colors of accessories and materials, regulating stitch frequency and thread tension, eliminating minor technical problems with equipment, ensuring order in the workplace, elimination of defects.

What personal qualities should a seamstress have?

Seamstress work assumes that a worker spends most of her working time sitting at a sewing machine, so the “mistress of thread and needle” must have perseverance, patience and diligence. In addition, the presence of such personal qualities as:

Let us note that the profession of a seamstress belongs to those specialties where professional knowledge and skills, rather than personal qualities, are of greater importance. Therefore, it is quite difficult to imagine a seamstress who would not know the technology of sewing production, processing methods, sewing properties and types of fabrics, the principles of operation of sewing equipment and options for using various seams. In addition, the seamstress must be able to correctly select needles and threads depending on the type and type of fabric, regulate the thread tension and speed of the machine, work on different types of machines (including foot-operated, manual and electric sewing machines), and also eliminate small equipment problems.

Advantages of being a seamstress

Talking about the benefits of being a seamstress, first of all, it is necessary to mention that women workers in the clothing industry practically do not face such a situation when they have nothing to wear. Even if they experience financial difficulties or, due to their non-standard figure, cannot find suitable clothes in the store. And all because a seamstress can always sew any clothes for herself, using both new pieces of fabric and outdated wardrobe items.

An important advantage of this profession is also the great demand for its representatives. Today, professional seamstresses are needed both in enterprises of the sewing, knitting, fur, textile and haberdashery, felting and rigging industries, as well as in private studios, in shops selling fabrics or educational institutions.

We should not forget that a seamstress can easily not only find a job in her specialty, but also organize her own business in sewing, for example, clothes. Moreover, it is not at all necessary to rent a sewing workshop, purchase professional equipment and hire female workers. It is enough to just have the simplest sewing machine and overlocker at home, and have the skills to create a pattern and cut the material.

Disadvantages of being a seamstress

All disadvantages of being a seamstress are predominantly medical in nature. Judge for yourself:

firstly, sedentary work very often leads to problems with the spine and excess weight;
secondly, strong noise in workshops can cause a decrease in hearing function;
thirdly, during the work process, the seamstress inhales a huge amount of microparticles of fabric, which leads to respiratory diseases and allergic reactions;
fourthly, the need to constantly strain your eyes (otherwise it is impossible to track the quality of the seam) entails problems with vision, up to its partial loss.

In other words, despite the fact that seamstresses work in relatively comfortable conditions, their work can safely be called harmful. At the same time, the level of remuneration for their labor can hardly be called worthy, since today workers of sewing enterprises in Russia (with the exception of those seamstresses who are engaged in individual tailoring) on average receive a salary of only about 20-30 thousand rubles per month.

Well, if we talk about the disadvantages that only female workers of large sewing enterprises face, then the most significant can be called the monotony of work. After all, during a work shift, a seamstress has to perform the same operation (for example, sewing together sleeve parts) several hundred times. And this causes not only physical, but also psychological fatigue.

Where can you get a seamstress profession?

Before asking the question: "Where become a seamstress"You need to determine for yourself whether you will sew for yourself and your loved ones, or whether you still plan to become a professional seamstress and strive for career growth. In the first case, it is enough to complete special courses and further hone your skills experimentally using educational materials that are freely available.

To work in an atelier or in a garment factory, you must have a diploma from a specialized college or technical school in your pocket. And it is advisable to choose one of the the best sewing colleges and technical schools in Russia, whose graduates are in greatest demand among employers. These educational institutions today include:
