From sit-mats to scrubs, staying sew positive in lockdown

Have you heard the advert ‘What did you do during lockdown?’  It got  me thinking.  My answer is I completely indulge in my love of sewing.  From sit-mats to scrubs, blouses to laundry bags and items in between, I sewed my way to sanity.

I have always loved sewing and when I began my business I was concerned it may become a chore.  There's always a danger that if you have to do the hobby you love as a job you will become bored.  Happily this has not been the case, if there is a danger of stagnating I just change the item I'm sewing, which then stimulates the brain cells, the joy you have when you complete a new item reignites the joy of sewing.

Like many other businesses it's been tough, all planned shows and fairs have been cancelled.  It will certainly be interesting when shows and fairs do get up and running again.  How will they look and how will we social distance in a fair/show setting, only time will tell.

In times of adversity it is crucial that businesses adapt and pivot and you may be interested to know that the Jacwicks Etsy shop now offers a haberdashery.  It offers a  range of products from fabric, interfacing, trims and tape for a whole host of sewing and crafting projects, which has seen an increase in interest during these stay at home times. 

Networking and business meetings have gone online, which once you’ve got used to the etiquette, I find a great way of communicating and have met some lovely people along the way.

Much like everyone else holidays and get together's have been postponed, anniversary and birthday celebrations put on hold, but these can be rescheduled, the main thing is we all come out the other side together.

It's great that we can spend more time outdoors and perch in a socially distant way.  How many perches does it take to social distance? I hear you ask, well, I will show you over the next week.  Check out the Jacwicks Facebook page for updates.

Until next time ,stay safe and happy perching!
