I Sold The Sewing Machine That Changed My Life Sew Girlee Bags 2026-06-03 | Years before Sew Girlee Bags existed, I bought a sewing machine… and sold it.At the time, I thought sewing just wasn’t for me.I had no idea that a few years later, during the pandemic, a dream, a trip to Walmart, and a little blue sewing machine would completely change the direction of my life.In this video, I’m sharing a story I’ve never told on my channel before.The story behind the sewing machine I sold.The dream that brought me back to sewing.How a simple headband became the beginning of a handmade business.And why teaching my daughter Selae how to sew before she left for college became one of my favorite memories.This isn’t just the story of how Sew Girlee Bags began.It’s a story about timing.Second chances.Motherhood.Purpose.And discovering that sometimes a dream isn’t gone… it’s simply waiting for the right season.💕 If you’ve ever felt like you were too late to start something, I hope this story encourages you.Leave a comment and tell me:Have you ever had a dream come back into your life when you least expected it?🩷 Subscribe for more Stories Behind Sew Girlee Bags, sewing inspiration, handmade business lessons, and life behind the stitches.#SewGirleeBags #SewingStory #HandmadeBusiness #WomenOver40 #CreativeBusiness #MotherDaughter #SewingJourney #Entrepreneurship #FaithAndBusiness
I Quilted the First 10 Rosalie Handbags | Building GIRLEE Ep. 11 Sew Girlee Bags 2026-08-19 | Ten Rosalies. Countless hours of quilting. And somehow, I feel like I’m the one being transformed in the process.In Episode 11 of The Rosalie Documentary, I’m finally able to step back and see just how much progress I’ve made on the first 10 handbags but there’s still a lot I have to figure out.Today, I’m tackling one of the details I’ve been most excited (and nervous) about: hot foil stamping the Rosalie leather. I thought I understood the process… until I actually started doing it. 😩Temperature. Pressure. Foil. Placement. One small detail turned into an entirely new learning curve.And while I finish quilting another Rosalie at my sewing machine, the episode takes a turn I wasn’t really expecting.I started thinking about what entrepreneurship has actually done to me.Not the business.Not the handbags.Me.Because somewhere between starting with an idea and trying to build GIRLEE into the brand I see in my head, I realized I’m becoming a different woman along the way.And maybe that’s the part of entrepreneurship we don’t talk about enough.Come spend another day building GIRLEE with me. 💕The Rosalie Episode 11#TheRosalie #GIRLEE #Entrepreneurship #BuildingABrand #HandbagDesigner #SmallBusinessJourney

After 195 Projects, This Is What Changed Everything Sew Girlee Bags 2026-06-10 | For years, I thought this journey was about learning how to sew better bags.It wasn’t.I started sewing at 39 years old.

Can I Finish These Orders In Time?! | Handmade Business Sew Girlee Bags 2026-05-19 | After years of sewing and selling handmade bags online, one thing I’ve learned is this…life doesn’t stop just because you have orders to finish.In today’s sew and ship vlog, I’m balancing handmade business life during graduation weekend while trying to finish 2 custom Bible carrier orders before the post office closes.One customer requested custom embroidered letters for her daughter’s Bible carrier and then added a last minute zipper pocket request while I was already sewing the order. I really wanted to ship both packages the same day, but sometimes in business you have to slow down, communicate with your customers, and focus on quality over rushing.I also show how I make zipper pockets because so many beginner bag makers tell me they struggle with that part of sewing bags.And honestly… I’m still emotional from my daughter Selae graduating from LSU. 💜This video is about sewing, motherhood, creativity, customer service, entrepreneurship, and learning how to stay consistent even when life is busy.If you’re building a handmade business while balancing real life…I hope this video encourages you.💕 MiaLinks✨ Join the Sewphie Circle Membershipyoutube.com/channel/UCP76TTDb2VjKg2_1I3DQJgw/join✨ Free Beginner Bag Making Guidesew-girlee-bags.kit.com/freeebook✨ Free Handmade CEO Workbooksew-girlee-bags.kit.com/b6a1bb3dfb
