Jenn Villaveces is a WAHM. She makes these adorable organic onesies and tees for children. Recently I interviewed Jenn to learn more about her and her company Boutique Lucky Stars. Here is our interview:

1. How did you get started making clothes? I got started a few about 5 years ago making burp cloths and baby blankets. Then, I got bored and needed something new…so, decided to delve into clothing.  I like change and love a challenge.

2. Why do use organic materials? Well the way I think about it is if it’s available and it’s affordable, then what’s the excuse?  Organic is safer for you and your family and better for the earth.  Everyone wins!

3. How long have you been sewing? I grew up in a large, craft loving family.  Holidays were so much fun and always involved some sort of craft challenge.  There was always a theme and each family unit had to submit their own creation.  Some were beautiful, some outrageous, some had us rolling on the ground with laughter.  Everyone was quite the crafter.  My grandmother also handmade her children’s clothing (all TEN of them!) and my mother made her own clothes growing up in her teen age years and would swap designs with her sisters.  With me, it all started in my twenties when I was pregnant with my first baby.  Bye bye college degree in finance (although it has come in handy)…I guess sewing is in my blood!

4. How do you come up with your designs? My children are my inspiration.  I find fabric that I love and create a design that they love!

5. Is this a full time job for you? Yes, although my first full time job is mommy of two beauties.

6. Have you always wanted to own your own business? My childhood dream was to be dancing on stage in some big city with a major ballet company.  Never did I imagine this would be my calling, however I knew I wanted to do something on my own eventually.  I have found great balance by working out of my home so that I am available for my family whenever they need me, doing something I love!

7. Did you find it difficult to get started running your own business? At times I think if I had a partner it would lessen the load.  Or to have someone to ask – “Hey, what do you think about…?”  But in the end, I am proud that I can say I did it all on my own.

8. What are your goals for the future of your company? This summer I plan on expanding my line to include accessorries and girlie twirl skirts.
