Today’s featured Etsy shop is Jenna Lou Designs.
Jenna Lou Designs is all about handmade wallets, purses, and accessories especially for the eccentric girl. All of my designs are original and created by me. I’m especially well known for my wallets which range from a large Girls Best Friend to a small Pocket Pal. My accessories are an ever evolving project…. I do things from hair pony tails to Patchwork Pincushions and Needle books.
What inspires you in your work?
I am most inspired by the fabrics I use. The bold colors and shapes are an endless source of joy and really it is the fabrics that keep me interested.
What other types of art do you make for fun?
I have been a knitter for quite some time and recently I picked up crocheting as well…. I really prefer crochet now because it’s so simple and easy to get lost in the project. All the repetitive steps make for a very relaxing and calm afternoon. Before I started to sew I was very much into colored pencil drawings and painting.
What advice would you give someone thinking of starting a craft business?
Make what you love. If you are then your passion for it will show through in the quality and people will see and feel this. Also I always say that it is important to remember the basics or your trade. If you first perfect the basics then you can build upon that to make something truly amazing.
