Ngl, this has been a difficult anniversary for me…
It’s been 3 years since I quit my job as a cancer research scientist to work on the small business that my husband and I created together 🎂
Despite often being asked (the somewhat loaded question) “Do you regret leaving your job”, I can confidently say that, no, I do not regret my decision.
But anniversaries are always a time to reflect on your achievements. It can be difficult to measure the impact of the work you’ve put into your small business, and especially difficult when you’re constantly being reminded that you could have put those efforts into LITERAL cancer research 🔬
Before we started our business, I was a new sewist full of enthusiasm, which quickly shifted to overwhelm. I couldn’t keep my sewing supplies organised, didn’t know what I had and found myself struggling to sew as a result. That’s why my incredible husband Doug created the first version of the sewing organiser app.
And it worked! The app helped me to get on top of my stash and reconnect with my supplies. I loved it so much, I convinced Doug that it could help other sewists too. So we launched Stash Hub and went all in.
Since then we’ve helped thousands of sewists overcome the same problems that I had. That’s impact. Those are lives we’ve changed and projects that have been sewn thanks to our little business 🥰
We’re still on our mission to help sewists fall in love with their stashes. There are new updates to the app all the time and I’m getting ready to host my free organising course Sew Sorted next month. I’m really looking forward to getting to chat stashes with an incredible community - will you be there too?
