For fifteen years I have run a sewing studio in Los Angeles. In May, a long illness and repossession took a cutting table and overlocker. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Sunday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 3 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.
Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go.
Where the $4,100 goes:
• Initial stock: fabric: $750
• Shop repairs and licensing: $540
• Replacing a cutting table and overlocker: $2,810
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
