Welcome! My name is Renee Weal and I've been a sewist for about 50 years. This channel is to share sewing techniques as well as share stories of inspiration with others. There are many great sewists on RUclips...many who can throw a bag together faster and better than me most likely....My goal is not to show you how to make a specific pattern, but to increase your skillset and your mindset. With this...you have utility. You are limitless as to what you can accomplish! I love making handbags but have many years experience making just about everything from costumes, to couture pieces, gowns, tailored pieces, and daily attire!
