ElleLittle

I’m Letitia, also known as Elle. I’ve been sewing for as long as I can remember – I think I learned by osmosis! I grew up on my mom's sewing room floor, falling asleep in the scrap basket while listening to the hum of her machine. My grandmother kept her sewing behind the couch in her living room, and while we played Parcheesi after family dinners, she would sew.

I sewed mostly dresses for myself for years until I took up running. My body was changing so quickly that I couldn't start a project and still have it fit when I finished. Instead of crying in frustration, I began making bags and accessories to fulfill my desire to create while still ending up with something functional. Since there's only so many bags I can reasonably keep in my house, I'm happy to have Etsy as a platform where I can share my creations with people around the world!

My shop currently features wallets, purses, pouches, wristlets, sunglasses cases, earrings, and key fobs – all made by me! My sketchbook is full of new product ideas and I'm expanding into paper goods in 2019. Click that “Favorite Shop” button to stay updated on all my new creations!

A few tidbits about me: my style tends towards whimsy. My favorite color is blue. My dog is named Mo. I run in skirts.

Follow me on Instagram @ellelittlehandmade, where I post pics of new fabrics, what I'm working on, travel adventures, and other random bits of my life in Florida.
