Brett,
You definitely have more cut and sew skills than most soft goods designers! Very nice. I would reorder your work a bit. The first project is that chair pod thing and it is really long and not what you want to do. I recommend putting a softgoods project up front. The render section only has two renders. If you make me click over to a special render section there better be at least 10 renders in there. I think you can push them much farther as well. As a look through the sketch discussion here: Choices
I don’t see any reason why you shouldn’t be able to land a position in soft goods. Right now the footwear part is very causal athletics, kind of camper/clarkes. You might want to open that aperture up a bit with the render section.
