Your craft deserves
steady work.

Joining the network is completely free. The only fees that apply are for the optional in-person practical vetting at our school — and that's entirely up to you.

The practical vetting is a paid service with a fixed fee. It covers the time of our expert assessors and your status as a Sew & Grow vetted member. We'll share the exact amount when you apply.

No — the network is open to sewists, tailors, and fashion professionals across South Africa. The only thing that happens in Johannesburg is the optional in-person vetting at our school in Melville.

Not at all. We welcome every skill level — from beginners taking on their first paid jobs to professional fashion designers. The application asks about your experience so we can match you to the right kind of work.

The form takes about 3 minutes to fill in. We review every application and get back to you within 5 working days.

Clients come to us with specific jobs — a tailoring project, a fashion collection, upholstery work, alterations, and so on. We match each job to the right people in the network based on your skills, location, and availability, and we send the lead directly to you.

Yes. Join the network first, take on some work, and book your in-person vetting session whenever you're ready. Many members get vetted after a few months once they've decided to grow seriously through Sew & Grow.
