Anita Taylor - Stitched Up
Sewing
I
was unemployed for almost
10 years, and as my children got older I
started training in various aspects of dressmaking and needlework. This
had always been something I enjoyed and had an aptitude for.
Coming for advice and support at CSV gave me the confidence to switch
from
"hobby" to "business" mentality, and launch Stitched Up. I was guided
through the official procedures involved, and assisted in building a
professional-looking website. The whole process felt far less daunting
in
the knowledge that informed, interested and approachable advisors were
only
ever a phone call away.
Stitched Up offers affordable, basic mending and alterations, as well
as
the creation of new items of clothing or soft furnishings. I find it
just
as satisfying to repair or recycle a much-loved item as it is to create
something new, so try to combine both approaches in my work.

Betty Cutter - Bespoke
Jewellery

I've always been creative but
always looking for the "next thing to do". So when I met a
lady at a stitching show wearing a fabulous necklace I was 'hooked'
before I knew it. Consequently, I went to her beading classes
and became 'obsessed' with design, colour and texture.
It was when I met a friend at
Weight Watchers she suggested I go to CSV to help with making a
website. I found this service absolutely invaluable and the
IT Advisor has helped me build up more knowledge of marketing my
business. Necklaces and bracelets etc can be made to
compliment the colour of your wardrobe at a reasonable price and it
makes you feel good too !

Barb
Drummond - Historian, Publisher & Photographer
I
had been a local historian for several years, with several articles
published in local journals but had no idea how to go further. With the
help of CSV business start up I put together a business plan to lead
walks and produce books.
The walks failed to take off but I have managed to produce 6 books in
just over two years, as well as being commissioned to do research for a
local museum and giving several history walks and talks.
By having a business advisor, I had the confidence to run a business,
and he is always there if I need to try out new ideas or discuss
problems.
The computer centre is also very worthwhile as I have yet to earn
enough to buy up to date equipment.
I am now looking for an agent to get a proper publisher interested, so
I can move from being successful to actually making money from what I
do.
