OREANDA-NEWS. April 06, 2016. Etsy is hoping to spread its sewn, painted and beaded sensibilities across the Web.

The crafts marketplace revealed Tuesday a new service for sellers called Pattern by Etsy, which lets furniture craftsmen and jewelry makers create their own websites using the products and information on their Etsy seller pages.

"It's a big day for Etsy, and most importantly it's a big day for sellers," CEO Chad Dickerson said at a press event Tuesday at Etsy's Brooklyn, NY, headquarters, where a stage was set up with a sewing machine and yarn behind him.

Etsy has made its business around connecting buyers and sellers of arts and crafts. Items sold on its website range from handmade jewelry to monogrammed baby quilts to craft supplies. Etsy gets its revenue from listing fees, commissions on sold items and services it offers to 1.6 million active sellers.

The new Pattern program, which costs \\$15 per month for sellers, could help artisans build up their audiences and sales by letting them show off their goods without sharing the stage with other crafts workers. Etsy said another company will host the websites, though declined to disclose the partner. Customers should also be able to find their favorite artists more easily on these standalone websites.
