An Interview with Nicole from MyPoplin

July 14, 2010 by persimondreams Leave a Comment

  A good friend of mine recently began a business of her own MyPoplin.  I’m happy to share with you some of her background, dreams and ambitions:019 Tell me a little bit about your background in arts and crafts.
When did you first start creating things?
About 8 months ago when my second son was born I decided to find a hobby. I have never really had a hobby and felt like it was time to have something just for me, something I could enjoy doing and be proud of. summer 168Nicole’s Sons – Paceler & Trexen 
026What were the first things you created? and how did your creativity progress from there?
My mom has always been a sewer and when I was pregnant with my first son I had a difficult time finding cute and trendy baby items. So when trying to decide on a hobby sewing jumped out at me as something I could do not only for myself but my friends as well. I had never sewn or really crafted before so I started at square one with a simple bib pattern. Since then I have become more comfortable sewing and creating. Now I make bibs, burp cloths, blankets, diaper clutches, nursing covers and perfect pouches.
021Is this your only business or do you do other things as well?
This is not my only business. I also work full-time at Heartland Community Church in Sun Prairie, WI as the Children’s & Family Ministry Director. I have two little boys as well, 21 months and 8 months.
023 Do you still dream about making other things? If so, what?
Yes, I am always thinking about other fun, trendy baby items I could make. I recently started making the "perfect pouches" for pacifiers, keys, cell phones, etc. and would love to make cute changing pads, more fabric flowers for a variety of items and maybe some car seats straps or pacifier clips.
025 How did you come up with your shop name?
I wanted a simple name that was cute but a bit uncommon. I spent a lot of time searching words related to fabric, sewing, trendy, etc. I came across Poplin, which is a type of fabric, and thought it was perfect! It them turned into mypoplin because this is MY hobby and fun outlet. 020 Nursing Covers What are your favorite shops on etsy? Why do you like them?
The Apple– I love all jewelry and vibrant colors il_430xN_125106976 Memory Wire Bracelet – Peonies in Bloom from theApple

il_430xN.154159211  NEW Girls Splendid Dress…..Tangerine Damask with Black and White Ruffles…..illia designs KIDS from iliakids How did you hear about Etsy?
Friends and family members have shopped on Etsy for quite some time. I started buying items and really loved it so when I began crafting Etsy was the perfect place for me.
What is your favorite Apple?
Fuji Favorite Movie?
Christmas Vacation & Pretty Woman
Favorite Book?
Crazy Love
Favorite Color?
Pink
Any words of advice to others?
Don’t be afraid of failure; believe in yourself and go for it!   029
