Episode 27 – Starting A YouTube Channel

Andrea Chapman is founder of Sewspire.

She is passionate about creativity and supporting women in business. She taught herself how to sew and launched her first handmade business Watermelon Wishes in 2006.

In 2015, as a means to give back to the wonderful world of handmade, Andrea launched an inspirational blog and YouTube channel dedicated to sewing instruction.

The primary purpose of Sewspire is to convey her enthusiasm for sewing and promote the key benefits of living a creative lifestyle. Andrea believes that creativity is the key to happiness!

She is currently focused on growing her Watermelon Wishes brand and Etsy shop as well as nurturing her ever-growing online sewing community and fulfilling her desire to mentor fellow handmade artisans via weekly live chats and collaborations with the Sewspire Patreon Community.

To run her YouTube channel and create the content Andrea uses a Mac Book Pro 13”, iMovie, GoPro 5 and Rode Directional Mic:
