Exciting News for Julia Fixes Things!

First and foremost, I want to thank our wonderful customers for their patience and understanding. Many of you have been incredibly accommodating with deadlines, allowing me the flexibility to focus on my health first in the past few months. Your kindness and support have meant the world to me, and I’m truly grateful.

As many of you may know, my original plan for 2025 was to transition to full-time self-employment after finishing my job at The Fabric Mill. Life, however, had other plans, and with my ongoing cancer treatment, my ability to work has been unpredictable. But despite the challenges, I still want to keep going—just at a much slower, more manageable pace.

Thankfully, I’m not doing this alone! My wonderful friend Lena has been helping me for a while and now, as she is also facing redundancy, she will be joining me in the studio on a more permanent basis. Between the two of us, we’ll continue running Julia Fixes Things, creating beautiful, custom-made curtains and soft furnishings. While my workload will depend on how I’m feeling, Lena will be there to help keep things moving.

At the moment, we are working through a backlog of orders due to my illness, but we are accepting new orders for June/July. We might have a break in production closer to the end of July for holidays/surgery and back to normal in hopefully in September. If you’d like to book in for a future project, please get in touch via WhatsApp - and don’t hesitate to follow up if needed! Chemo brain fog is real, but we’re here and happy to help make your home even cozier.

We truly appreciate your patience, support, and kindness. Knowing we can still do what we love, even in challenging times, means everything. Thank you for being part of this journey with us! 💖

As I left the studio on December 31, 2024 (and no, I wasn’t working yesterday—just retrieving the wallet I’d forgotten last week!), I couldn’t help but reflect on the whirlwind this year has been.

2024 was busy and challenging, but also incredibly rewarding. It was a year filled with creating countless curtains, blinds, and cushions, along with many late nights spent sewing, planning, researching, and learning. If you ask me how I managed it all, I honestly couldn’t tell you—except to say that the incredible support I received from everyone around me made it possible.

Looking back, I can confidently say 2024 was my most productive year yet. What started as a side business in 2017, Julia Fixes Things, has grown so much. This year, I took a big leap by moving out of my home workspace and setting up a professional studio for curtain making. With lots of hard work and help from friends, it’s now a fully functioning space that makes me love my craft even more. There’s still a little work to do in 2025, but I’m thrilled to be gearing up to make the studio my full-time workspace soon.

2024 taught me so much, and one of my proudest achievements was completing my Diploma in Soft Furnishings and Curtain Making. It was a tough but rewarding journey and a step I needed to take to prove to myself that I have the skills, knowledge, and experience to make 2025 even better.

Here’s to what’s next!

It's been a long time since I had a business card....
Let's say this: on the last one, I had a completely different surname. In the past 3 years, I have relied heavily on people passing on my name to their friends and family, for which I'm beyond grateful.
However, many changes are coming in the new year, and it was time not only to update my branding but also my number and print business cards.
