BellsThreadAndNeedle

My name is Brian, I learned to sew at a young age and I am self-taught. My journey started out making Tea towels just for fun and then progressed to sewing baby blankets. The first blanket I made was for my niece. At the time I thought I knew all there was about sewing, and looking back boy was I wrong but that's okay that's how we learn. I got the courage one day to make a zipper pouch, I know when it comes to sewing for some zippers can be scary and a pain.
Well after a couple of tries I finally made a pouch that worked. Thinking about where I began it's funny because who would have thought I would now be making unique handmade bags and wallets now. Complete with custom hardware, fabrics and even using vinyl, I remember how many times I broke needles because I used the wrong one or forgot to move the zipper pull before cutting it. That still happens on occasion but I know how to fix it now.
I still have a long way to go in my journey, there are a few more goals that I have set for myself like being able to afford an Industrial machine and maybe even offer classes on how to sew. So I currently sew on a semi-industrial machine, which is a great machine, but you can never have too many machines. (I have 1 sewing and 2 Embroidery machines) Then my other goal of being able to teach others is something I didn't really think about until recently. When I get to talking about sewing it brings me joy and I want to share that with others. Show them that sewing is not that scary but it can get expensive once you start (trust me).
