Blackburn Tailor Celebrates 28 Years of Sewing Success Story

She worked on James Street for almost three decades. She built a good name for her quality work. People knew her for her personal service too. She did wedding dress fixes and normal mending.

Chantana Parkinson said she would sew at night. She wanted to do more with her sewing skills, so she used her savings to start a shop. She began in Blackburn with only one machine.

Her shop grew as time went on. Clients referred her through word of mouth. Returning customers also helped a lot. People trusted her, which made her grow. Chantana celebrated 28 years in business.

It wasn’t always easy to run her shop. She once sewed in Preston where the pay was low. They said she was too slow at her sewing. She didn’t give up with sewing though.

She kept sewing and became really good. Her hard work helped her run her business. Running a small shop can be tough to do. Chantana always worked hard and was helpful. Seeing happy customers makes her happy too.

It’s about more than just sewing clothes. It’s about helping people feel good in what they wear. She came here with just her sewing skill. Now, 28 years later, she still loves her job. She also loves the town where she works. Blackburn is welcoming and friendly to everyone.

Cllr Phil Riley said Chantana’s story is great. It shows how dedicated local businesses can be. Small businesses like hers help the community. They give jobs and offer useful services. Her shop also makes the town unique. The council is proud of her 28 years of work. He wanted to say congrats for her success.
