The noun seamster is a common gender noun; a word for anyone who is employed to sew. The gender noun seamstress is a word for a female whose occupation is sewing; the noun tailor is a common gender noun for anyone who makes clothing alterations.
Due to the changes in gender roles over the past century, gender specific nouns are losing their place in society. For example, at the time that 'tailor' came into use, it was extremely rare for a female to make or alter clothing for men. Since jobs have lost their gender specific workforce, new gender specific nouns have not been put into common use and have become common gender nouns. Some examples, in the past, a nurse meant a woman. For a period of time, men in nursing were called a 'male nurse', but the distinction is falling by the wayside. A riverboat pilot would have meant a male but today women are also qualified pilots (air and water) and pilot is a common gender noun. I don't think that mother and father, or brother and sister will go out of fashion however.
