For nine years I have run a sewing studio in Buffalo. In October, a fire in the building took a cutting table and overlocker. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Monday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 6 weeks.
This business pays my children's school fees and rent. I have already started working from home in small ways, but I can't meet orders without proper equipment.
Every contribution brings me closer to reopening, and I promise to post photos as I buy each item.
I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go.
Where the $3,500 goes:
• Replacing a cutting table and overlocker: $2,200
• Shop repairs and licensing: $360
• Initial stock: fabric: $940
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
