Countdown to Christmas: KCEtsy Team's Great Giveaway! WEEK ELEVEN: Win an Apples Coin Pouch from Ni-Chern Designs!

WEEK ELEVEN: Win an Apples Coin Pouch from Nicole at Ni-Chern Designs!

Nicole notes, "My first bag that I'd ever sewn was in high school. My best friend didn't want a pair of jeans, and I thought I could make something from it! End of college, I decided to start sewing again to perhaps help with all my student loans. So Ni-Chern Designs was started. Ni-Chern is my Chinese name, meaning little girl. Sewing is really comforting and relaxes my mind. There's a bit of me in every bag and pouch. And it always makes me happy to see them go to a good loving home."

"It's difficult to pick a favorite item, since I feel like they're all a part of me. I do go through different phases of favorite colors. Sometimes it is noticeable on my listings or my featured items in my shop."
