Lotta Jansdotter has been creating simple yet luxurious housewares and clothing for over 10 years. Starting her business by silk-screening pillowcases in her cramped apartment, Jansdotter's wares are now sold internationally. She was a gracious host as she gave us a tour of her studio and spoke about how she got her start as an artisan and businesswoman. Lotta has built her business up to the point where many Etsians would like to be: she's making a living from what she makes while remaining in creative control of her products. We thought it would be interesting to hear her story.

Hey this was really a surprise to find on Etsy since I've been noticing Lotta Jansdotter's work a lot recently. I love the clean simplicity and color selection of Lotta's designs. Thank you so much for sharing this with all of us on Etsy.

I think it's so Brooklyn of her to have her studio/shop set up in an apartment!

I love Lotta. I just got her sewing book, and I have been using it to teach myself to sew. The instructions are so easy and simple, and I have been making a lot of things.
Does anyone know when her fabric will be available to buy online?
