Modern Organic Throw Pillows
Introduce Yourself:  My name is Debbi Sawatzky and I live in St. Louis, SK. I opened ThreadEthic Organic Sewing Boutique on Etsy in June of this year. I was completely terrified as Etsy is kind of a big deal, but I am so thrilled to be apart of this worldwide network!

How long have you been doing your craft?   ​I have been an Interior Decorator since 2009 which introduced me to the amazing textile world. However sewing is fairly new to me, which some people find hard to believe! 
Last year I made a random comment to my Mother in Law about thinking I might like to learn how to sew. She offered to lend me her machine, got me started and well, the rest is history! 
I was instantly captivated by the process and fell in love with creating whatever I thought up! After many classes and countless hours of sewing the idea of ThreadEthic started to form.
 

How did you get started?  I began to research sustainable, ethical cotton and at first found nothing. It was pretty discouraging but I just kept going and ended up with an amazing range from some fantastic cloth companies! I love being able to make modern pieces knowing the materials I use are helping other people too:-) Right now Organic cotton is in the place organic food was 20 years ago. It has been so rewarding to both learn and share about the benefits of organic, ethical cotton.

What brought you to Etsy?   ​I came to Etsy because I shop on Etsy and have enjoyed the experience for years! Being a seller gives me a whole new appreciation for our global community. Also I am not tech savvy so having this simple to use platform has been amazing. I know it takes time, effort and passion to grow a successful business and I am loving the journey so far!

How long have you been doing your craft?   I have been sewing for kids for almost 18 years! ​
How did you get started?   Shortly before I had my first daughter I found an adorable vintage pink and purple singer sewing machine at a garage sale and I got the idea that I would like to make fitted cloth diapers. I had very little sewing knowledge but needed instructions, so I looked online for some things; using the internet at that time was sometimes an ordeal! I found a manual online and talked to my grandmother about where to start. Eventually through trial and error I figured out how to sew! ​

What do you like about selling on Etsy?  I like that I am not limited to my local area and that I do not need to pay hosting fees for a private website. The exposure on Etsy is phenomenal. ​
​What brought you to Etsy?  I had heard about etsy in the past but it wasn't until my best friend told me that she knew someone else who made their living by selling their art on Etsy that I thought I should give it a try! ​

What is the name of your shop?  My shop is called Megan’s Piñatas
​
How long have you been doing your craft?  I have been making piñatas for over 20 years now. ​
How long has your shop been open?   I opened up shop on Etsy at the beginning of March 2016
​
How did you get started?  My mom used to make piñatas for mine and my siblings’ birthdays and I loved to help make and decorate them. I love to make (and smash) piñatas for any occasion -even if there’s no birthday. Once I had my own children, I carried on the tradition because it just didn’t seem like a birthday party without a piñata. I just took the leap and started selling them in the past year.

What do you like about selling on Etsy?   I love that anyone all over the world can see my work -not just local folks (although I do love all my Saskatchewan customers)
What brought you to Etsy?  I wanted to expand my reach and try to sell to more people. I think my piñatas are pretty unique compared to more traditional crepe paper piñatas (most of mine in the past have been painted) and thought maybe others would enjoy them too. ​

What's been your best Etsy experience?   My best experiences on Etsy are when a customer sends me a photo of my piñata in use - I love to see the kids smiling and loving it. ​
