A handmade experience
Hello! My name is Ven Ven Law. I live in a beautiful neighbourhood just a few kilometres away from the centre of Amsterdam with my family, my lot of plants and an old cat. I’m the creative director, designer and sewing lady at Qtpiworkshop since 2009. I also have a degree in Visual Communication and a part-time job as a project manager in Grayscale, a web design agency.
My passion (more like addiction) to create something with my own hands started when I was small. I used to make stuffed dolls out of my old clothes.
Qtpiworkshop began in 2010. We lived in the Netherlands with our three-month-old son, and I was given the old German sewing machine from my hubby's grandma. There wasn't a lot to do despite reading and breastfeeding, I decided to make something out of used clothes while my baby was sleeping.
The very first few QTPI's pieces were a pair of baby jeans, hoodie, jumper, pumpkin hat for my baby boy and a mobile sleeve for my hubby. My hubby was so happy using his wallet for a while and one day, he told me that I should try selling this product (or baby clothes) on Etsy, a place for crafty mommy(back then).
That was how it began.
I love making fabric creation by improving or adding functions to the original concept. I try to enhance details that make sense and are useful. I hope you enjoy our story and the experience of handmade creations.
