      Aaah the glamour of fashion…crotch repairs.
      I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else though.
      It really is the best thing, for me, to be able to revive a piece of clothing or fabric.
      After years and years of corporate life, I have found my ikigai ⚡️

        After years and years of corporate life, I have found my ikigai ️

        I read a book about this concept years ago, I'm still searching for mine...

        Have and idea of what I need to do, but I'm definitely stuck in the corporate comfort zone right now!

          If ever I launched another brand, it would be called Ikigai.....

            Have you given much thought as to what this hypothetical brand would specialise in?

                @Giles top secret, or is there anything you'd be willing to share?

                I'm sure after all these years in the game, you've identified some unfilled niches in the market...

                        Probably a brand of fishing rods designed to look like common household items so they can be more easily hidden from wives.

                            Ohh baby the 5-thread double chain stitch overlock is on!
                            5-thread overlock combines a chain stitch with a finishing stitch over the edge, it is also a safety stitch.
                            I can’t wait to see the results!
