About Unwanted FC
Unwanted FC upcycles post-consumer sportswear into recent, functional products - including tote bags, boot bags, hats and more.
Since 2018, we’ve worked with clubs, players and fans to extend the life of garments that would otherwise go to waste. Every piece we create is one-of-one.

Produce upcycled products to a high standard (including bags, accessories, wearables)
Work with sportswear materials and inner lining & interfacing
Assist customers dropping off garments and explain our processes
Manage the shopfront during shifts (basic sales, questions, general upkeep of space)
Work independently on assigned production tasks
Maintain a clean, organised workspace and studio
What We’re Looking For
Strong sewing skills (industrial machine experience preferred)
Experience with garment construction, alterations, or textile work
An interest in upcycling, sustainability, or circular fashion
Comfortable working both independently and in a customer-facing environment
Reliable, detail-oriented, and takes pride in their work
Nice to Have (Not Essential)

Ability to also work from home on production (own sewing machine)
Interest in sport (we mainly operate on soccer, rugby, AFL and cricket shirts)
Additional Info
Casual role to begin with (1–3 days per week to start)
