WORRY GOBBLERS
LINDA JACKSON
START-UP COSTS: ‘I’m completely self-funded. The costs were very low, as I already had a sewing machine and lots of fabric to create my initial prototypes.’
TURNOVER: ‘Over the past 12 months we’ve had an influx of orders. A lot of my sales come from word of mouth, so it’s all very encouraging; we’ll just see where it takes us.’L
Linda Jackson found a unique way to combine her creativity with her desire to help children. She previously worked in interior design, but considered freelancing to have more time with her two sons. And then came the pandemic. Inspired by the general anxiety around everything going on in the world, she created Worry Gobblers, quirky fabric creatures to munch away children’s worries.
