Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Samantha Littlefield. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Hi Samantha, thanks for joining us today. What’s the backstory behind how you came up with the idea for your business?
During Covid in 2020, I had picked up crochet as a way to spend my freetime. Now two years later, I had decided to use my skills, time, and effort as a way to share my passion with a few other very talented individuals to sell our work. Our aim is to sell items of comfort and quality to any ages from child to adult.
As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?
On our site, we’ve taken hobbies and turned them into a craft that we can share with others for them to enjoy. We’ve taken the art of crochet and used that to build a business around gifting and everyday items of decor and accessories. We sell anything from stuffed toys, to decor for your home, and assessories such as blankets. On top of our set items we sell, we also strive to make a customers item perfect by taking custom requests.
How’d you meet your business partner?
Originally this business was going to be a solo ride until we got more traction. I wasn’t looking for partners until a year down the line. In a stroke of luck, I met a group of crocheters online and two of them were also looking to start a business, so we decided to join together to start one together.
We’d love to hear the story of how you turned a side-hustle into a something much bigger.
When I started crochet in 2020, it was just a skill I wanted to learn to kill freetime. Along the way people would ask me to make items for them and would pay for them. I began reaching out more and making items for Christmas, birthdays, and any other occasion. Earlier this year I started on etsy, making items there and making a small name for myself. In August of 2022 I decided to branch out and make my own brand and site. In August we would have our first customer, which shocked us when we found out that our first client was Mr. Beast himself.
