A little bit about my life. I am born and raised in the suburbs of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, “The City of Brotherly Love”. I am a young adult blessed by having a relationship with God and his people by believ
ing in Jesus Christ. I have no good apart from the Lord, He is great and makes life very fun, and is the #1 encouraging source in my life, he gives me rest, when the demands of the law are great, I rest believing that Jesus died for our sins and the fact that Jesus loves God and be looking to him I can be transformed
into his image, and continue becoming like Jesus. A little bit about what led me to starting my own website. First of all I developed schizophrenia when I was twenty years old, and ever since I was sick with this disease I have not been able to keep a regular job. I keep trying though (nearly thirty jobs), and now I feel like I found my place in the world as a “bag maker”. God gave me the safety I desire. As I was on the train one day I was praying about a job that I thought was immoral, and I did not know if I should work there, then as we were passing through a large university in the city I noticed people wearing school bags and I felt like it would be a great opportunity to start a business. So I began the journey of making bags. God has answered many prayers and my bags have been constantly improving and are looking great. People have been suggesting things to help me and I am very thankful for all the people that helped me get started. Now my bags are looking great and I am able to sell them to friends, a store and school store sell them, and a few craft shows where people found bags they were never able to find elsewhere and really liked them. My bags are made by me, with some help from my mother who really helped me perfect my bags and my aunt who taught me how to maintain my serger machine and match the lining with the outer shell. i spend about six hours a day working on my bags and i hope to eventually work eight hours a day. I buy my fabric here in america at a local fabric store (i would mention where, but i don't want to get in trouble for using their name). And i also bought my sewing machine and serger machine here in USA too. I have been making bags on and off for about two years now. At first the bags were low quality, but i found a few patterns at places that sell them, and now i am proud to say they are professional quality and I am putting a lot of time into the perfection of the bags
i sell these bags because I see many people wearing them, and i feel like i can provide a bag that people will wear and be proud of. I also sell these bags because i would like to get off disability and become a tax paying citizen. I really want to make a bag that people will really be happy to wear. the bags are nice and no short cuts are made in making these bags. Quality is very important to me and I try hard to make the bags perfect. I started on-line sales of my bags just between my friends on a social network back in December of 2015, and I have gone public since august 2016. i hope to have more than enough business for my bags some day because people really want them and see how great they are which was the experience on social network.
