    Wecandoo - Ontmoet Rachel

    Ontmoet Rachel

    Seamstress

    Meet Rachel, the vibrant artisan who brings vintage fabrics back to life with her expertise in embroidery and upcycling.Initially introduced to sewing and crochet by her mother and grandmother, Rachel drifted away from the craft in her teens. However, in her twenties she rediscovered her passion for needlework and fully embraced it.

    What sets Rachel apart is her unique approach to her work. She enjoys the playful aspects of embroidery, preferring a style that's whimsical and not overly precise. Rachel values sustainability and supports local initiatives. She takes discarded fabrics and transforms them into something beautiful, giving them a new purpose.

    Eccentric, creative and fun-loving, Rachel loves learning and teaching and she's a social person with a great sense of style. Her workshops are not only about learning a skill, but also about connecting with others and promoting sustainability through mending.
