- Blog
She has been social sewing via her Miss Celie's Pants blog and PatternReview.com for about 15 years and on Instagram for seven. Currently, she is also a temp editor with Sewcialists. Some people might recognize her as an occasional model for Cashmerette Patterns. She has modeled the Holyoke maxi dress, Ipswich Swimsuit, and the Tobin Sweater.
A few months ago, Renee wrote about being Black and how it shaped the way she presented herself in the sewing community and why. Here's a link to that blog entry.
