Here is the story of how I created my bright collection of reversible kids hoodies, Mommy and me outfits, girls skirts, women skits and comfortable maternity skirts.

I live in medieval town of Škofja Loka close to the Alps in a country named Slovenia. I've travelled to lots of places I really liked but so far our small and beautiful country still has my heart. I'm almost exclusively using material made in our local factory and sometimes they make me custom stripes (which makes me sooooo happy!).
This year I started working on recycling projects in local schools and kindergartens, so little pieces of fabric that were left over from making the piece of garment you purchased might have ended up in a cute caterpillar or comfortable pouffe!

I always liked making things but it took me a while to find that one right product that would take me in the land of making where I could build a whole new little world. I tried painting and later while living in Edinburgh for a while I tried sewing bags but have to admit that despite my cousin wore hers all the time and is still bugging me to make her a new one I never owned one myself.

And then, five years ago, I made a reversible hoodie for my then half a year old son. I made it reversible because I didn't have an overlocker and I had to improvise. Now our place is crowded with hoodies hanging around and I just love the little animals looking at me and my little kids. My kids enjoy wearing them. I finally found my thing!

I want to make them practical, colorful, lovable and comfy. I want them to get covered in chocolate and mud while being worn. I want them to last so kids can pass them on to their little brothers and sisters. The little piece of cloth with a cute animal on the front usually soon becomes a child's good friend and keeps them company wherever they go. And kids need nice company:)

I created the comfortable little skirts copying the design of the skirts I made for myself, I just made them smaller:) I like wearing them while walking through spring meadows, autumn forests and snowy lands and there is also where the inspiration comes from.

I love Etsy, I think what I love the most is that to me it feels like traveling when I'm here. And at the moment with our three little kids it's hard to make it further than neighbouring Italy (which, by the way is a pretty good place to travel).

Etsy just feels like a place where I want to be.
