16 CONSUMER STUDIES (EC/NOVEMBER 2020) QUESTION 6: ENTREPRENEURSHIP 6.1 Read the case study below and answer the questions that follow. Angie’s grandmother taught her the basics of sewing when she was in Grade 8. Over the past few years, she has sewn some garments using basic patterns. When the coronavirus outbreak started in South Africa, she decided to make herself a face mask. She did some research on the internet and created two designs. The one design is where the elastic is worn over the ears and for the other design the elastic goes behind the head. She had old pillow slips to use for the fabric that could be cut up and they were a good quality tight weave cotton. She tested the masks out to check that the fit was comfortable, and that the fabric was breathable. Her friend asked her to make her a mask for her. Soon she realised with the rising pandemic that there was a need for masks. By selling masks it would help contribute towards the family income. She was confident in herself and promoted her masks on social media. She was overwhelmed with people wanting to place orders. She wanted her masks to be reusable, washable, limit the spread of COVID- 19 as well as protect people from dust and help those who suffer from sinuses. She must cover her production costs, but the sale price must be affordable. Once the old pillow slips were recycled into masks, she would use some of her profit to buy good quality cotton. She decided to help her community by pledging to give a mask away to the needy for every two masks that she sold. She was sure that in the future there would still be a demand for masks, as she could make them as a stylish fashion accessory.
