This surprise giveaway is now closed!


Warning: lots of Gussy photos…

I wished for a productive weekend and ohhhhhh, boy. It happened! So what if I stayed up until 3 am and then 2 am Friday and Saturday nights?? :) I took your suggestions and made a netbook laptop bag. There’s only one available for now, but more are definitely to come. I also made some wider laptop bags.




And, if that’s not exciting enough, I have a ton of fabric cut out for even more netbook + wide-screen laptop bags. Check back next weekend for those!

————–

And… some new product! Checkbook covers. Or pocketbooks for cash, coupons or love notes. How ever you want to use them :)

I loooove how these turned out. Since these don’t require special fabric {unlike my laptop bags — they are all made from heavy weight fabrics}, I was able to use some GREAT prints I already had stocked. I made the ruffle really wide. Do you love it? That’s probably my favorite part of the design.






SURPRISE GIVEAWAY!

Leave a comment sharing your favorite color ruffle
{any ole color will do!}

to enter to win a checkbook cover of your choice.

————–

My mom is “da bomb.com” {Mom, that means your cool} when it comes to knitting baby blankets. Look what she’s made, and they’re all available in the shop:

How was your weekend? Were you as productive {or lazy} as you wanted to be? :)

xo!

    I usually go for the bright bold colors, but that soft yellow is sooo springy. Like a baby chick.

    It's so nice to know that someone was productive this weekend … I tried like crazy to sneak off to my sewing studio but never managed to!

    SO cute! I really like the yellow with the black and white, but for me, as long as it's a ruffle, I'll take it! ;)

    My weekend was supposed to be filled with cleaning/organizing…but intead I took my little sister out. We went to JoAnn's for some fabric, had lunch at Panera's…and then together we sewed a hanging laundry bag that turned out cute! So it was good, even though I didn't clean. :)
