About Me

My name is Gretchen Reagan. I am a life-long resident of Iowa currently living in Bettendorf, Iowa. My love of sewing and handwork comes from my Gramma. From her I learned the basics--finding appropriate patterns and fabric, cutting the fabric, construction and finishing of the project. I use all these lessons fashioning the Vintage Look Handbags.

I was looking to "downsize" the heavy, shoulder-breaking, tote/luggage-carrying everything purse.

I decided the vintage look and size would suit my style.

So it began and here I am!
