Emiliano needs a cutting table and overlocker to reopen a sewing studio
A sewing studio in Móstoles needs help replacing a cutting table and overlocker after a long illness and repossession.
🇪🇸 Móstoles, Madrid, Spain3,071 views
For four years I have run a sewing studio in Móstoles. In July, 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 Thursday, and I employed 2 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 $1,700 goes:
• Shop repairs and licensing: $370
• Initial stock: fabric: $230
• Replacing a cutting table and overlocker: $1,100
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Updates from Emiliano
Good news. Because of your gifts ($1,007 in total) we've started the first stage. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Small update. $524 so far, the plan for initial stock: fabric is now scheduled.

Thinking of you, Emiliano. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. All the best.
hang in there. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. I have a 7 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Móstoles.
Wishing you peace. Small businesses are the heart of Móstoles. Hope you're open again soon. Thinking of Móstoles
Hope things get better soon, Emiliano. I hope things turn around soon. Don't be hard on yourself for asking
take care. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. After 6 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Keep going, Emiliano. Hope this works out for you. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
