Crazy Stitch Belt by ‘Machine Stops’ at Etsy.com

May 21, 2007 by Designer Ella

Recently I finally embarked on a dream and started sewing and teaching myself to knit, all for the hope of making accessories to sell — really starting my dream of being a handbag designer — and I became obsessed. One lucky side effect in my new craftiness is the discovery of the all-home-made indie mega online shop; Etsy.com. It’s sort of like the hand-crafted non-auction eBay, allowing individuals to add their own products to one big site.

Machine Stops Crazy Stitch Belt One cool product, in the trendy category of belts, is the Crazy Stitch Belt by The Machine Stops. It’s an original (although I ordered a similar belt, yes you can special order from most sellers/creators on Etsy) and definitely different from everything you usually see on the streets. Plus, you’re supporting indie artists and giving your money to accessory makers that aren’t big conglomerates for a change. There are so many reasons to shop indie, but you really don’t need many when you fall in love with a piece. That’s one bit of beauty about Etsy, there’s something for everyone.

Watch out - it might just inspire you to create!

Congratulations, Ella, on starting on your dream of making accessories! I can’t wait to see your designs!
Etsy.com is a great site—I actually just put some of my paintings on there a couple weeks ago to try and sell.

I am somewhat addicted to surfing the net to find funky fashion and took a look at Etsy.com. I really loved the sight and thought I would share another one of my favorite online places! I know you’ll love it too!

It takes a broad belt to compliment the lovely feminine form, all we need now is for jeans that sit higher than the hips and snug the waist.

Terrific belt! I love etsy. You can always find things that are unique and beautiful. Plus, the sellers are usually so helpful.

It is a beautiful belt! ~ I checked out Etsy.com and like this website!!!Interesting categories on the web. I like the idea they have “HANDMADE” for creative designers.

From one budding start-up to another…
Ever found that favorite pair of shoes, that you just couldnt pay for right now? Or the handbag that you REALLY want for your birthday from your boyfriend, but how to let him know? Sign up at Peruse.com and build a registry– but not just for married people, this one is for you!!! Peruse the web and pick and choose items you want then send your wishlist to friends a family, perfect for weddings, birthdays, and graduations- and this shops on Any website on the web!!!

Hopefully we can get those stunning belts and accessories on Peruse!

Mallory! give me your Etsy username!!! I’ll debut my store soon. Purses take a long time to knit, so those will roll out slower than my little accessories though. Boo hoo. Also - I’m such a newbie seamstress, so mostly knit stuff for a while. I picked up on knitting fantastically, at least!

Maggie, I am ALWAYS looking for other fun sites to shop, especially ones like Etsy. I’m so addicted!! Oh and anything pursey!

Fashion — I didn’t actually create this myself, but I bought one like it and love it! So many talented artisans on there. You’ll all see some of my stuff soon.
