Tell us a bit about yourself, feltgirl.
I work from home in my little sewing studio and love every aspect of my job. I love sewing, knitting and have just learned to crochet which it becoming a little bit of an obsession. I am also obsessed by buttons, and fabric and have quite a collection of both!
I am a big fan of the handmade ethic that is big at the moment. It's great that sewing and knitting is having a resurgence of popularity. I love handmade stuff and appreciate the time and effort that has gone into producing it.
I have 4 children who are all now at school during the day which gives me time to sew.
I drink lots of tea and eat far too many biscuits.
What 5 words would you use to describe yourself?

enthusiastic
Tell us a bit about your Etsy shop.
I set up Feltgirl in 2009 when I had become exasperated in wanting lovely felt and buttons for my sewing and I couldn't find any. I had the dream of creating a little shop where you could find gorgeous coloured felt, beautiful different buttons - polka dots and stripes and delicious bright ribbons all in the same place. I have now expanded to include other stuff such as ric rac and pom pom trims. I put everything in the shop that I would love to find there.
My aim for the shop is continue to be successful and expand the range even more, I am always on the look out for gorgeous supplies.
What 5 words would you use to describe your shop?

What advice would you give other Etsy sellers?
I would say give it a go - promote yourself, get out there and let people know you are there. Having a blog is also a good idea, it's nice to get a bit of background on the seller, see how they create, makes it more personal.

It's so hard to choose a favourite item from Feltgirl or V for Violet - I'll go with any 'spotty buttons' from the first and the gorgeous 'tulips in a vase fabric art' from the later.
I love both these shops and love the V for Violet blog too.

I cant decide wich colour of polka dots buttons is prettier, so i will cheat a little and say the "Small Spotty Dotty buttons - 20- colour choice" ;P
I have a soft spot for purple, but all colours are lovely and depending on what you are making you can choose just the right one.
