Sewing Chanel-Style hasn’t been immune for creative vibes, especially not for those of female entrepreneurs owing small, artisan businesses. The idea to promote these businesses was always there but we are taking it to the next level. We can all do with some extra promotion, can’t we?

We met so many wonderful women ever since we set up Sewing Chanel-Style. Take FriendsthatRhyme! How impressed we are with their elegant clutches, as well as their businessplan, customer service, and their products. It didn’t take long to decide blogging about FriendsthatRhyme with led to spontaneously promoting each others creative businesses on social media. 
 
We are equally delighted to promote Petra Roth’s modern earrings and her company Sma.p-roth. Petra Roth’s versatile 3D printed earrings are masterpieces of modern jewellery.

Marga: "It all started with the interview on 40plusStyle.com. 
No, actually it started a few years earlier...
One fine day, I decided it would be great to be a model.  But I was 43 years old, did not had any contacts, experience and knowledge about the business.
Either way, I just started and ten years later, I am still modelling  (and learning!)

This website is for you to get some inspiration, to get a lot of information and to get a jumpstart!
I will share my stories, my knowledge and you might want do the same." 

Our Sewing Chanel Community website is getting a new garment. A new blog. Ánd due to popular demand we have decided to write about new products as well on Sewing Chanel-Style and bring you the latest news, best buys and even more news.

Also a Dutch Blog
The blog is written in English. For most Dutch people English is their second language but not their mother-language. Pardon our English, when it is not correct.

We are still looking for English guest-writers and bloggers; so send us an email if you are looking forward to contribute to this website.

​Our blog will aim to inform you about new reviews; sewing patterns, couture-books, our 'Chanel'-projects and a whole new category: Products-reviews.

Products-reviews
We will inform you also about new products which are the best tools and friends for a seamstress. What do you need to sew (without frustrations) and which products are such a wonderfull 'things' you definitely need?
​
As we are sewing for years; we know what it takes to get a project done. Without certain products and tools it is almost impossible to create the real Chanel-Style couture. Sewing machines, lock-machines, a mannequin, good light and an organized sewing-studio: you probably own a lot of equipment already. But what to do when it needs to be replaced or you just need something better? We will inform you thoroughly with experience and information attached.

Now let's get to work!
Let us inform you with in-depth information. Be inspired and start sewing!
We wish you all the luck with your new sewing-project and meanwhile in the sewing-studio, we will work our butts off to keep you going!

Greets, Marga
