Are you still singing?

I’m still singing. I haven’t had any performances lined up, but I did a little over the winter. It’s something that my housemate would tell you. I’m always picking the guitar up and singing and playing, but it’s not something that I’m focusing on.

Jazmin Sawyers singing (she made the dress)

More than anything, it’s the dressmaking and sewing at the minute. I’m loving it. I’m loving how fashion is moving into the athletics world, where we’re seeing more focus on athletes outside of just the track, doing the walk-ins, for example.

Jazmin Sawyers (she made this dress too)

I’ve been making my own outfits for those. It’s a hobby of mine.  I think it’s important for athletes to have hobbies that are completely separate from the sport because it just keeps you an all-around the person and also helps you take your mind completely off the pressures of elite sport, which can be all-consuming if you let them.

Is that something you might to do, career-wise as well? Like, once you finish this?

I’ve had friends ask me to make them things. I spend so long on one thing that I don’t think it would be feasible to do as a job. And then it might stop being fun. I wouldn’t put a hard no on it, but it’s a hobby. And I enjoy it. I make little outfits for myself when I go to things, and that’s all it really is for me. I’m not trying to monetize it; I’m just having fun.

Jazmin Sawyers, yes, she made this dress too!

You get so zoned in, and especially it sounds silly, but I feel like dressmaking could be like problem-solving sometimes because often I find a weird bit, and it fits strangely, and it’s like poking out, and  I’ll spend ages sorting it because I’ve never been trained in textiles, so I don’t know how to fix it, and I’ve got to figure it out. So I can get so zoned in on that,  that it does feel like a kind of meditation and overall a relaxing process, And then I’ve got an outfit to wear by the end of it. So it’s win, win.
