Here is my perspective on where we are heading. Running a fabric shop like More Sewing in Worthing has given me a front-row seat to the recent shifts in the sewing industry. Retail is rarely simple, and the current landscape is changing faster than ever, affecting how we source materials and connect with our community. I wanted to share my honest thoughts on the reality of managing an independent business today. We are navigating a tricky time, but there is still plenty of optimism for the future. From the demand for high-quality textiles to the growth of our local sewing classes, I am breaking down what these trends actually mean for you as a maker. Whether you are a regular customer or just curious about the craft world, here is my take on the road ahead.
