If you love sewing, then you probably already know and love the handmade community over at Etsy. Where ever you are in the world you can set up your own store selling either your hand-made treasures or crafting supplies. Or you can buy from many of the small and independent sellers – people just like you.
I have my own store there too, called Print or Plain, a reference to the bags I used to sew and sell. Before this one I had another store selling soaps and beauty products that did really well.
It's a great place to support small businesses, and buy awesome fabrics, and other sewing supplies. Did you catch the Best Fabric Shops on Etsy feature from earlier this year? These stores are all worth checking out – interesting fabrics and low overheads can lead to some really great finds. And most of them offer exclusive discount codes for SSE readers too.
Now we've got a great giveaway today especially sponsored by the lovely team over at Etsy, who have offered you a chance to win a $100 Etsy gift certificate to spend in any shop you like on anything you like.

Great give-away…Would love to win a prize like this. Love looking thru Etsy.
Picking a favorite Etsy shop is hard. I buy most of my fabrics there since here in Germany fabrics are so pricey and the choices are so limited that it’s much better to buy there. I love Llamafabrics, The Fabric Hive, Stitched in Color, Sewmeasong and PinkDoorFabrics.
Thanks for the chance to win! I love lots of etsy stores including finch sewing studio.
No I don’t have a favorite shop on Etsy.
