For six years I have run a sewing studio in Leeds. In June, 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 Monday, and I employed 3 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.
I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go.
Where the $2,250 goes:
• Replacing a cutting table and overlocker: $1,200
• Initial stock: fabric: $230
• Shop repairs and licensing: $500
• Working capital for the first month: $320
I hope life is good to you.
