Sewing machinists assemble all the different varieties of garments available, and also other items made of fabric, such as camping equipment, baggage, etc. There are several different sorts of sewing machine, some of which are computer controlled. Usually the machinists work in teams, but sometimes the machinist will carry out only one specific task. These tasks are usually rotated in order to relieve the boredom of carrying out a repetitive task for long periods. They are usually also responsible for the care and cleaning of their machines. Other work is done in dry cleaners, to mend or alter clothes to fit: also some clothing stores employ machinists to alter off-the-peg clothes to make them a better fit for the customers.
