From Homemade Facemasks to Revolutionising Brain Research





I've been bursting with excitement to share this incredible sewing news with you! Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine I'd embark on such an extraordinary global venture.

It all began during the thick of the pandemic, when facemasks became a daily necessity. I started sewing masks from home, doing my bit to help. But as the demand for facemasks decreased, I didn't stop there. I carried on innovating, transitioning from making masks to creating bespoke, made-to-measure hats, caps, and a range of other accessories, selling online and at craft fairs.

The real turning point came when a cutting-edge tech company reached out to me. They had developed a revolutionary brain-scanning helmet aimed at advancing research into brain disorders. However, they faced a significant challenge: the helmet's electrodes generated heat, causing discomfort and potential harm to the scalp. They needed a solution, and fast.

Enter Sewjackie. After a series of intensive meetings and countless prototypes, I devised a cap that not only protected the scalp from heat but also enhanced the helmet's overall functionality. My innovative caps are now being utilised in research facilities worldwide, aiding in the study of brain disorders such as epilepsy in children and dementia in older people. This collaboration marks a significant milestone in both my career and the field of brain research.

What’s even more exciting is the future potential of these caps. There’s a strong possibility that Sewjackie’s caps will be integrated into hospital settings within the next few years, offering a practical solution to a previously daunting problem. This advancement could streamline brain scanning procedures, making them more comfortable and accessible to patients globally.

My journey from sewing homemade facemasks to contributing to groundbreaking scientific research is nothing short of inspirational. It’s paving the way for a new era in brain research and healthcare, and I feel privileged to be a part of this.

I’ll continue to share my incredible journey, from the humble beginnings of pandemic facemasks to a future where my creations make a global impact. Hopefully, this is just the beginning for me, and I thank each and every one of my followers, subscribers, and customers from the bottom of my heart. You can't imagine how much your support means to me.

Kindest regards always,

Jackie
