I got a walking foot for my machine gifted off my wishlist and I’m in actual tears of joy. A little step closer to achieving my dream. Once I have the fabric, the batting, and the backing I will be able to try making my own quilts which is the ultimate goal. Making memory quilts as well as. Bespoke quilts is a huge part of the dream.

Made £5.30 this week on vinted sales which is better than nothing but unfortunately won’t get us through or enable me to get Mikey a gift for his birthday. Please keep sharing my vinted and consider buying a few items. Six days to go, praying for a miracle.
Please give my vinted a share to help keep us afloat and possibly get my mikey more than a card for his birthday. https://www.vinted.co.uk/member/3153566303-emmaw9399

Full day of coursework and sewing practice with some old bedding ahead and praying that dreams are for the likes of me.
Got three new projects under my belt over the last two days alongside my coursework. Then finished my evening off going back to basics and making two extra large scrunchies as Emily and I love this fabric. So I made one for Emily and there is one more available for £10- if anyone wants to help support me getting my business off the ground. I will be selling the odd item I make to fund my sewing business journey. If I can be brave enough to come out and deal with the fallout of that then I’m brave enough to chase my dreams. Drop a DM literally 1st person can buy it as no more are made. #queerbusiness #smallbusiness #queerfamily #lesbian #wlw
It’s my lovely son Mikey’s birthday in a weeks time and this is going to be the 1st year ever I won’t be able to buy him a gift. But we are still 350- a month down so I can just about afford food and to feed the animals, bills are mounting up and if it wasn’t for you all helping towards Emily’s medication she would be forced to detransition. I’m trying to claw my way back from the brink and from a relationship that almost killed me a good few times. I’ve been through loads of therapy and I felt brave enough to start a course to eventually get myself back into the workplace as well as teaching myself new skills to set up my own business with very little resources, which if I’m honest the lack of resources are really holding me back because I am absolutely smashing learning to sew loads of different projects. As it always is with my life and a lot of us lack of funding holds us back from reaching our potential.
Between this and Emily and I now living off my sickness money as her dad has caused trouble by saying Emily doesn’t live with me, so the money I got for her has now been paused until it looked into which could take months. We are really struggling to cope and I am trying to sell anything and everything I own to help keep us afloat. Please share and help where you can. https://www.vinted.co.uk/member/3153566303-emmaw9399

But I don’t expect it as this is my problem to solve xxx

So I have gone from having a sewing machine in a box for over three years that was bought for my birthday by my father back when he bothered to be in my life. Pushed myself to get it out of the box and start teaching myself how to thread the machine and how to use it in under two weeks. I have made my first project a scrunchie today. I am making my second project, which is a doggy bandanna unfortunately I can’t do any more than that because I don’t have any more fabric or the other equipment needed to progress. I really want to turn this into a business but I am unsure as to whether that’s even possible because of my financial limitations. It’s such a shame because I’m doing so well with it I’m progressing much faster than I could’ve believed. I chose to believe in myself and my abilities and I didn’t fail the limitations of my life failed me.
Getting organised for our break away. Will be wonderful to take a holiday with my daughter, getting to celebrate her becoming a woman, end of exams and pride month at a women’s wellbeing festival. Our travel, food and accommodation are all sorted 👌🏼. I still can’t quite believe it’s happening an actual holiday 🥹 it’s so very exciting.
There are loads of activities to choose from but those are extra and I just don’t have the funding for that. If any of you can possibly help us to be able to take part in some fun activities it would be beyond wonderful https://www.paypal.me/EmmaWilliams166

So there is this woman and I’ve completely fallen for her even though I promised myself I would keep my heart closed. I honestly can’t control my feelings about her she makes me light up 🥰.

If you could please share my vinted page it would be a huge help. I’ve got a huge medical bill to pay for Emily’s gender affirming medication and blood tests of £276- this month that I just don’t have. https://www.vinted.co.uk/member/3153566303

I have another year where I am wholly responsible for Emily receiving gender affirming care. Her funding ran out a couple of months ago so it’s down to me not to let her down. Please help if you can, I’m literally selling anything I can on vinted.

Open quoted postPlease keep sharing my vinted page. I am £350- a month worse off because my toxic ex has told the benefits office Emily lives with him, which isn’t true he is trying to punish me in any way he can. It’s going to take time to rectify so until it’s sorted I’m living off my sickness benefit alone. I struggle when I get our full allowance so this is hitting hard. https://www.vinted.co.uk/member/3153566303-emmaw9399

Open quoted postI think I’m running on coffee and delusion at this point, hope is in the rear view mirror. Continuing to progress with what resources I have whilst trying to sell a few bits I’m creating.
Another item available is this very cute elasticated doggie bandana. It’s a size medium and is slightly too big for my Shih Tzu. If you want to buy this or any other items drop me a message. Please give my posts a share and help me to build a small business. if you would like actual measurements, I can also give you those.
Please keep boosting my vinted as I’m barely selling anything on it and bills are starting to stack up. I’ve no idea when the issue with my money is going to be rectified I keep chasing it up but I’m getting nowhere.
Another day with nothing but hope to carry me through 🙄. I have various scrunchies pictured below for sale, as it’s the only way I will be able to slowly fund setting up my small business. I’m going to continue with sewing what I can with what supplies I have and hope for a few sales so that I can progress building myself a business. #queerbusiness #lgbtqbusiness #smallbusiness
Please boost my vinted and help where you can.
Along side my course I am learning new skills and researching setting up my own business with nothing. Just my brain, my sewing machine and a small fabric stash. I can’t progress without extra equipment. This dream and my course are my light at the end of a dark tunnel. I’m living on dreams and vapours, I’ve got £176- in the bank to last us three weeks and more outgoings than in. Mostly due to the money I should get for Emily still being frozen so for now I’m £350- a month down. Hope and faith are all I have getting me through that one day it won’t be like this. If you want to support this you can do so by buying something from my vinted https://www.vinted.co.uk/member/3153566303-emmaw9399

Got a chunk of my coursework done and taught myself to make a cushion cover with the sewing machine. Cut out and sewn four pieces of fabric for the back and a pretty patterned piece for the front.
I have completely maxed myself out. My head feels overly full and my whole body is shaking. Going to lie on my bed and have a bloody good cry.
