Tell us a bit about yourself.
My name is Eve Winslow and I am currently living in the woods of Vermont, although I’ve been known to be somewhat of a nomad. In the past several years, I have lived in Vermont, New York, Boston, Crested Butte, Colorado, L.A., back to Crested Butte and then back to Vermont! I love exploring new places and lifestyles, but I am hoping to stay here long enough to do a little bit of homesteading and maybe get a few goats. I am moving again next month (I have had so many sewing studios!), not too far from where I am, but hopefully closer to some good skiing.
I collect weird animal art. I have a pick-up truck named Trusty, a peanut of a cat named Henrietta Blue (or Henry, Pajama Bottoms, Pitch-a-Tent or just Peanut) and a boyfriend named Nate. I try to be a good person and inclusive; I am a little awkward, and I scare very, very easily. Sometimes if you just say my name, I jump a little and might scream. I blame Stephen King and my fascination with real ghost stories.
Apart from creating things, what do you do?
Well, this little business takes up a lot of time. Running a business from home makes it very difficult to stop working. That being said, I am also very good at eating and love to cook and bake. I love French, Indian, Thai and Moroccan food. I always need to know where my food is coming from. As for drinks, I like mojitos and White Russians. I used to bartend at an amazing Indian/Thai restaurant in Crested Butte that I miss (they had, hands down, the best ginger martini).
I discovered telemark skiing while living in Colorado and that is my activity of choice in the winter, especially when it’s followed by sitting next to a fireplace with hot chocolate and a knitting project. In the spring and summer, I run and try to get out on my bike as much as possible. I am a timid mountain biker, but that is okay because there are so many beautiful country roads to bike on where I live now.
I can barely pluck out a tune on my banjo, but I love when others play it. (Play me a tune on the ukulele, though, and you’ve won my heart!) Oh, and I love playing gin rummy and yahtzee; I even carry dice and cards in my bag, just in case. I often visit my best friends, one in Brooklyn and the other in Burlington. It is important for me to get into the city a little bit so I don’t become too much of a creepy woodsy hermit.
What first made you want to become an artist?
I have always been attracted to the lifestyle of “artists.” I had a hard time accepting the way professional life works — the focus of more money equaling peace of mind and happiness, and working the “nine to five” everyday while looking forward to the weekend. It is important to me to look forward to waking up every morning, to enjoy every working day (many of which are way longer than nine to five).
Like many of the artists on Etsy, I have experimented with many mediums over the years. I studied painting, drawing, and jewelry-making in college, but sewing just took over as I found it necessary to make my own clothes or modify anything bought in a thrift shop. Since sewing made me happy, I kept working at it until I created a life that made sense to me, one that is worth waking up to!
If I start to feel smothered by “sewing for a living” at any point, I plan to focus more on other art forms, kind of like rotating crops so the soil doesn’t get overworked.
Please describe your creative process.
I have more than one creative process. For example, if I am not ready to get out of bed in the morning but I feel like I should be working, I spend a little time curled up in bed with Henrietta and I think about outfits that I would like to see on my friends. I usually come up with a few ideas and am then ready to jump out of bed and sketch them out to be made that day or sometime later.
Another method I use is to look around my studio at all of my new and recycled materials until an idea strikes. I like to let the fabric give me direction. Once I get one color combination together, it snowballs into many other ideas and the next thing I know, eight hours have gone by and I am covered in threads with little scraps everywhere and hopefully at least a few pretty dresses! A day of sewing is a trance-like state for me, especially if I am caffeinated and listening to good music. One day is just never long enough for all of my ideas!
What handmade possession do you most cherish?
My lovely fella made me a pasta drying rack for my birthday last year. Fresh pasta is one of my favorite things to make and eat, and this rack is perfect and easy to take apart and store when you are finished. It was the best surprise gift! He also builds bikes and is making me a road bike, so I will just throw out there that this bicycle WILL be one of my favorite handmade gifts. (Now he has to finish it!)
I also have a needlepoint pillow with my name and flowers woven through it that my mom designed and worked on for years; it is very intricate and beautiful.

What advice would you give to artists who are new to Etsy?
Make sure you would buy what you are selling. Spend time on the lighting to make your photos look good; edit them well and think about cropping. Surf Etsy and see what you are drawn to and ask yourself why. Buy what you can on Etsy and tell everyone you know about it. It will come back to you! When you are bored, daydream about how to get what you want, make a list of goals and tape them to your wall.
What are your favorite features on Etsy? What new features would you like to see?
I love The Etsy Blog! Such a great selection of articles, it is my favorite way to discover new shops.
I would like to see the Shop Local feature have categories to browse through so I could search locally for specific things instead of just browsing.
How do you promote your work?
Hmm, you know, Etsy has really been my main source of promotion. In general, I just try to relist items and post new things as often as possible so more people can check out my shop. I have been featured on a good amount of blogs, but again, I have to credit Etsy for helping them find me! I will focus more on PR and self promotion in the future, but for now, I am just focusing on shaping my business and taking care of the customers who are able to find me.
I do have a Facebook fan page and on that, I post links to blogs I have been featured on as well as some of my newest items. The only problem with the Facebook fan page is that it seems to be mostly family and friends that are my fans, which is sweet, but I don’t know how much that actually counts as “promoting!”
In ten years, where would you like to be?
In ten years, I would love to have a modest little house with a small barn and some hens and goats. It would be great to have some neighbors that like to hen-sit and goat-sit too, so I can spend some more time traveling and eating in other countries.
I would like my business to grow a little, maybe with one or two people to help, so that in the future, I could expand Thimble and Acorn to include handmade soaps, my art prints, outerwear, and bags/purses. I therefore also aspire to magically become a morning person who just naturally wakes up early so I have more time to do all of these wonderful things! Best of luck to me on that one!

So I to have studied several types of art but have fallen into sewing, just like you. I always expected to paint but the practical nature of sewing is hard to resist. I too feel the need for a rotation, to keep my interest. What has that done, or will it do for your store? If people come to my sight for my sewing what is going to happen when they check it out and now it is full of oil paintings?

So so cute items! I love the mix of the texture on smooth... cotton with texture just seems such a flavorful oxymoron! Great read!

Great article... I totally agree with your "artist" lifestyle philosophy! You have to love what you do and that's one reason I think Etsy is such a great outlet for many people. Love your designs, especially the cowl neck top! Thanks for sharing your story!

Wonderful story and wonderful woman! I sell vintage clothing and accessories and just recently have gone mad sewing my own clothing and designing my own designs as well by mixing and matching pattern pieces. I hope to start reconstructing some of my not so popular vintage into new amazing pieces! Thank you for this wonderful story. :-)

When did Etsy switch over to doing the featured sellers this way? It's such a good idea! Love the article, and she's already a favorite seller. We had a lot of top 5's in common! -Bees

Thanks for the inspirational stories you do. This one was great. It feels so good to know that you can do what you want (as far as your artistic passions) anywhere. You don't have to stay in one place with Etsy.
