Hi, I’m Gay.

I’m a repair artist, educator, and mentor based in Nottingham, working from my back bedroom and sewing on the good side of the fashion industry.

I ran a busy sewing studio for years… fully booked, on paper thriving… but behind the scenes I was completely burnt out. In early 2024, I closed the studio, went home, and built a business that now works for me. Since then, I’ve mentored creative business owners around the UK and beyond, spoken at events and universities, and built a slower, purpose-led business that finally feels good to me and supports my way of living.

Now, I want to help you do the same.

  • Then you're in the perfect place. This guide is designed to support new and emerging repair artists just as much as those who’ve been going a while. You don’t need a fancy studio or years of experience to start valuing your time and skill properly.

  • It’s been created specifically for menders, visible mending artists, repairers, darners, and slow fashion folks who are offering repair and alteration services in some form.

  • You can move through it in a weekend if you like but I encourage you to take your time. The guide is self-paced and designed to fit around real life. Each step builds on the last, and there are prompts and exercises to help you reflect, calculate, and create a system that works.

  • You will have the foundations of how to build a pricelist at the end yes, then the technique I use to start pricing each alteration/repair.
