A mother-of-two who turned her sewing hobby into a lockdown business said it has become a coping mechanism to improve her mental health.
Emma Talbot, 39, from Bedford, started Clemency Loves Jude from her kitchen table to help with post-natal anxiety and panic attacks caused by lockdowns.
Unable to buy new clothes, she adapted her wardrobe and began making headbands with the leftover material. I find it incredibly therapeutic being creative, she said.
