I have been making clothing since high school. I started selling designer clothes online when I was diagnosed with epilepsy at 19 and couldn't work at a regular 9-5. I later started selling my own creations. I finally launched Venni Caprice on Etsy in 2007. I slowly worked my way to selling on Etsy full time, which I am proud to say I now do. I have three stores on Etsy. One casual line www.vennicaprice.etsy.com, one high end line at www.vc2o.etsy.com, and one overstock store at www.ldoz22.etsy.com!

My most popular is the tie back hoodie which is sold here: http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5032671&section_id=507631

I have never taken a sewing class or had any training whatsoever, and taught myself everything I know. I also sell Venni Caprice at 9 boutiques and stores from the UK to Canada, with new boutiques in the works! I use Dharma SuperSoft Inkjet Transfer Paper for all of my light fabric graphics. For the most part, the inspiration comes from the fabric - the stretch, the drape, or the color. Most of my designs are a result of visualizing the piece in my head. The visualization is then transferred to the finished piece, skipping the drawing step.
