STRIKE SEWIST TEAM

What it is: When we want to promote new or popular prints (or other products like craft kits or sewing supplies), we will send products free of charge to our Strike Sewists. Strike sewists get to propose the project of their choice, and are provided enough fabric to complete the project. Once made, we request our strikers to send us well-lit and fun pics of their makes and to post in at least 4 social media outlets ( FB groups, IG, Tik Tok, etc) and of course the ASF group!

Since we specialize in stretch fabrics, you must be comfortable sewing knit fabrics- swimwear knits, cotton spandex, and/or stretch mesh.

PROCESS: Strikers selected once per quarter.

1. Once selected, Strikers will be active for a quarter (3 months). If interested in continuing, strikers are able to reapply during the next open call.

2. Strikers are only required to create 1 project per month.

3. Each month, there will be a theme to guide the strikers’ projects. It will provide a general design idea, and the fabric allotment for it. For example, one theme may be “ One Yard Wonders ”- a challenge to make something stunning with just 1 yard of fabric. Creating for the theme is NOT required. If the striker would like to create a project outside of the monthly theme, they must submit a project proposal prior to the fabric ship date ( 5th of the month).

4. The monthly theme will be posted by the 1st of each month. Strikers must confirm their fabric selections by the 4th of the month by submitting an order via the STRIKE SEWIST portal on ASF.com. Only the flat rate shipping fee will be charged. Fabric is shipped by the 5th of each month (if the 5th is a holiday or Sunday, the fabric will be shipped the following business day).

5. Modeled photos are due by the last day of each month, unless an extension is requested within the project proposal. Extensions are generally reserved for more complicated garments such as formalwear or for international strikers who receive fabric shipments later than those in the US.

Who it’s for: Sewists of all experience levels who can meet deadlines and take high quality photos.
