Newcastle upon Tyne
For nine years I have run a sewing studio in Newcastle upon Tyne. In April, the demolition of the market 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 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 4 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 $2,450 goes: • Replacing a cutting table and overlocker: $1,300 • Initial stock: fabric: $620 • Shop repairs and licensing: $530 Thanks for being kind about this. - Deborah
