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.

-

-
Scripts, prompts, and gentle reframes to help you talk about pricing like a pro (without ever feeling pushy or awkward).
FAQ
-
Nope. While I do go into the practical stuff - like working out your hourly rate - this guide goes much deeper. It's about mindset, values, language, and building a pricing structure that actually feels like you. Numbers are just one piece of the puzzle.
-
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.
-
Yes - and proudly so. It’s been created specifically for menders, visible mending artists, repairers, stitchers, and slow fashion folks who are offering repair services in some form. If you’re in the world of clothing repair, this is for you.
-
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.
-
Yes - that’s one of the biggest intentions behind this guide. Pricing isn’t just about the numbers. It’s about how you communicate them. I’ll walk through the internal blocks and give you scripts, reframes and real-world language to help you talk about your work with more ease and less ick.
