Sewing has turned into an incredible creative, professional and interactive outlet, but when I started sewing in November 2008 I had no clue it would grow to such heights. I was new to the handmade world of Etsy and it seemed like EVERYONE knew how to sew. It took about 30 seconds of daydreaming to realize I needed to join the club, so the next time Zack and I visited my parents for the weekend I asked to borrow their sewing machine. Maggie + Fat Quarters = bffs.
A couple of months passed when I had decided on a name for my products {March 2009}, and so for the next few months after I spent a lot of time fine tuning the brand I had created. Sewing quickly turned into a serious passion. All 30 of the library books I borrowed gave me the boost I needed to confidently sew, and my blog served as a platform to showcase my products and document my journey as things moved forward.
Just a few months after I started sewing, in January & February 2009, my husband and I both lost our jobs. Very unexpectedly. Later that year, in August, we moved from Michigan to Minnesota to pursue the only job offer I received. Once we moved to Minneapolis, MN, it took just 2 short weeks for Zack to receive his first job offer, too. HOR-to-the-RAY!
Once we were settled in our new home in this new city, and the stirring in my heart to sew full-time pressed on, Zack and I decided it was time for me to take the leap towards entrepreneurship {February 2010}. For the next three months we were diligent with saving 3 months of my salary as back-up in case… Ya know. This was a really incredible/powerful time for us.
My first day of work as solo Gussy Sews, on May 17, 2010, was really a surreal day. While I couldn’t have imagined myself living “this life”, I also couldn’t be more thankful for a God that did and so graciously gave it to me.
Each day this week we celebrated my first year on my own, so it seems most appropriate to close out the celebration with this ~
That’s right — two of you will receive a Singer Confidence Stylist sewing machine. Can I get a yeowwwwww???!!!
I’ve been sewing on this machine for a little bit now, and let me tell you this: the Kenmore machine I learned how to sew on is basic, but it’s a workhorse! This Singer machine is a serious upgrade (considering it’s electronic), but what I love the most about this machine is that it has a heavy-duty metal frame.
With all the sewing we do, this is key to our production success.
And two lucky readers will win one! We’ll be like, sewing machine triplets, matchy matchy! *wink*
Guess what else? Look at all the notions the Singer Confidence Stylist comes with {minus the scissors & pin cushion}:
Here’s what you’ll receive:
* 4 BONUS Fashion Accessories (Side Cutter, Darning & Embroidery Foot, Gathering Foot, Even Feed/Walking Foot) Videos of how to use these feet can be found here.
* 70 stitch patterns
* drop & sew bobbin system
* class 15J bobbin
* automatic needle threader
* LCD display with push button stitch selection
* 3 fully automatic 1-step buttonholes
* drop-feed for free motion sewing
* StayBright LED light
* adjustable stitch length & width
* heavy duty metal frame for skip-free sewing
I think traditionally speaking, sewing machines are perfect as a wedding or graduation gift, but they are also the perfect gift for someone that’s looking to live a more creative lifestyle. The beauty of knowing how to sew is you can do so much with it: keep your skill set at intermediate or challenge yourself to learn a new technique/style each month. Gussy up your home through sewn accessories {mistreatments, pillows, table cloths/napkins, pillow shams, mug rugs, quilts, baby & children items (!!!) — shall I go on?}.
I often receive emails asking for advice on how to find a good sewing machine, and the two things I always reply back with is: “if you don’t like the machine you buy you can definitely find someone to buy it from you,” and “older, solid machines never seem to die.”
Having a machine that has a heavy-duty metal frame is KEY for us, and so the Confidence Stylist should be a perfect fit.
Here are some of the machine’s features that I personally love:
* the drop-in bobbin. Being able to quickly glance at the thread level is super helpful, plus this means easy access & usability
* the DOZENS of available stitches. I love this for two reasons: there’s a serge-like stitch {yes!}, and the opportunity for exploration. Fun new projects, here I come!
* easy access accessory/notions drawer — ‘nough said.
* winding bobbins are easy/quick
What am I nervous about, though? That it’s a new machine, one I haven’t sewed on for too long and one that’s very different from the machine we’ve been using. I say this not to doubt my new Singer, but more so to share that some times it can be hard to change things up… It will be good, though!!!
I’m excited to sew with the Confidence Stylist, and introduce it to the Gussy Sews production team ;]
The Giveaway:
Singer is generously giving away two [2] Singer Confidence Stylist sewing machines. And, each winner will receive a medium zipped Gussy Sews pouch of their choice, sewn using our new machine. Please leave a comment below to enter; open to the US only. This giveaway will close tonight at 11:59pm CST {Friday, May 20th} and will announce their names on Saturday, May 21st.
fine print: Singer provided me with a Confidence Stylist sewing machine in exchange for a blog review & giveaway post. The words in this post are mine and the opinions you read are genuine. I would never provide you with anything else. [xo]
GOOD LUCK to everyone, and thank you all for giving me a reason to celebrate ♥.

Holy excitement, I WOULD LOVE THIS!!!!! My Singer “Simple” doesn’t quite meet my needs anymore, and I would LOVE to win this amazing upgrade!
Wow! What a giveaway! I’ve been wanting to learn how to sew!
What an awesome giveaway! I would love to win one because I have been wanting to learn how to sew and have finally decided it’s time! I already got a couple of books and have been shopping online for a sewing machine.
I live in Guam though so I guess I’m not eligible for the giveaway.
Congrats to you on your success! I hope to be as successful doing my dream job some day!!
Wow!! I could soooooo use this. The machine I have was my grandmother’s. It sews straight lines only, not even zigzags. I saw it being appraised on the Traveling Roadshow where they estimate the value of antiques, so you know it is old, but it is a Singer and just won’t quit and it reminds me of all the wonderful things my grandmother made for all of us while sitting behind that machine. But really, I’d love to sew more than a straight line someday. Can you make that happen for me please????
Omg, this is an awesome giveaway :) I would LOVE to have one of these great sewing machines!!! I anticipate three years when I can quit working, too!!! I adore your gussy goodies…..love the new turquoise/orange combo!!Happy Week to you!!
Ahhh what an amazing giveaway! Love me some new awesome Gussy sewing goodies!

Amazing! Thanks for all this fun celebrating!!

So happy that you’re celebrating one year of creative sassiness. It’s been great getting to know you through your blog. I wish you many more years of success!
How very cool! I never wim these things…but a new sewing machine would be awesome! Thanks for all the chances to win this week and congrats on yours first full year of doing what you love!

Holy Smokes, Gussy! This is big time! I would love to win this – currently I borrow my friend’s sewing machine and we’re moving… which means we will have nothing (and my hand stitching is the worst). This would be ahhhh-mazing! Happy Anniversary!

Hi Gussy- WOW, I can’t even imagine where I would start if I won a sewing machine! Growing up and into my early adult life I never had any interest in sewing or even learing how to sew until I started reading your blog and other fellow bloggers who sew amazing, vibrant, fun products! I love that it’s something you can “self teach” becuase who has time to take a class these days :-) My mom-in-law is an amazing sewer and I would love to be able to learn as well. I would love making little goodies for my family. Thanks so much for this amazing opportunity! Happy Friday!
Holy Cow! What a giveaway, I would <3 to learn to sew better on this!
Wow – I thought the giveaways for your shop were pretty awesome this week but this takes the cake! A machine AND a Gussy pouch = awesome! :) Im going to be crossing my fingers, picking up lucky pennys, not stepping on cracks and whatever other lucky thing I can do to be able to win this awesome giveaway! Thanks so much and congratulations again – I hope one day I will be able to share a similar story about going from hobby sewing to shop sewing!
Awesome giveaway! I just told my husband the other day that I really want to buy a sewing machine!

Oh my goodness! I would absolutely love to win this! I love to sew but haven’t had a machine in a couple of years. This is a great giveaway!!!
Oh my good gravy!!!! I have been begging my husband for a sewing machine. This would be fantastic to win. yeowwww, indeed!!

Wow! That’s awesome! The machine I have now isn’t the greatest so this would be perfect!
Oh just reading about this machine and I’m in love already! This would just make my day…well um…more like my year :)
Congratulations on 1 year Gussy, you are one amazing and inspiring lady!!

kristen{at}ahoygraphics{dot}com
oh oh oh pick me! pick me! Winning one of those machines would be amazing!!
Amazing giveaway! I love Singer :) I have an old featherlight (not in use) and a new futura…but I like to leave the arm on…and a workhorse would be fun to have :)
great machines!! :) I would love to win, I sew quite often.
amazing machine! i would love to win this!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow, amazing giveaway!! I love the Singer brand and would LOVE a machine upgrade from my basic to something more powerful :)
WOW! Just wow! Best giveaway ever :)
Oh, Gussy! This is amazing! I have a Kenmore hand-me-down that works like a charm and I seriously think it’s the metal frame. Problem is, I only have the zig-zag foot attachment…no fun playtoys! I recently got a serger so that’s holding me over on the creative funness but a SINGER CONFIDENCE?! whew, that’s be a wonderful thing :)
What an amazing giveaway. Yeow! :) I’ve been learning how to sew, but I’m sharing a machine and can’t always use it when I want.
What a fun, awesome giveaway!! I am really wanting to learn how to sew and this would definitely get that jump started! :) Thanks for the opportunity!!
I have wanted to become a better sewer, this machine would be great!! Congrats Maggie on your anniversary, how wonderful!
I sew want to win this giveaway! I really really REALLY want to learn how to sew so I’ve been researching and eyeballing machines all over the place!
Who wouldn’t want such a gorgeous machine!
Oh how I would love a heavy duty machine!!
How amazing!!!
Oh pretty please pick me, I want one of these machines so bad!!
What a generous giveaway! I’d be able to do my own repairs and save money at the cleaners!
Amazing amazing giveaway!!!!
Wow. Awesome giveaway. I would LOVE this!
Oh, my goodness!! That machine looks and sounds SO wonderful! I would be sewing all the time, and my kids would wonder if they’d ever get their mama back. Thanks again for the chance to win such fabulous gifts!
I’m where you were almost 3 years ago and have a strong desire to learn to sew! This would be per. fect! Your success story is an inspiration!
An amazing giveaway prize that anyone would flip over! (If not, they can always ask me to take it off their hands. hehe.) A HUGE congratulations on your successful crafty biz!
OhEmGee winning this would be a dream. I learned how to sew with my grandma when I was a kid but have been sewing on my own for the last year having fun trying new things. My current machine is okay but temperamental at times which slows me down and with three kids I have a small window of sewing opportunity most days.
Thank you for the chance to win!
I think I would definitely find the time to sew if I had this beauty. What an awesome giveaway.
You were not kidding when you said this was not worth missing! Would LOVE it, so amazing and gererous!
Wow, amazing! I would love the opportunity to hone my sewing skills on this beauty!
Oh my gosh, if I could win that sewing machine there’d be no stopping me!! :)
This machine sounds amazing!
oh wow! how very very cool.
A huge congrat’s on your success.
ohmygosh it would be amazing to win this! i’m using a borrowed machine right now and am dying for my own! xo, congrats on your first year!
Wow. WOW. Awesome.
AWESOME giveaway! How exciting! I hope I win! :-)
I have really been wanting to learn how to sew – and it would be so awesome to win a sewing machine! Such a generous prize! Congratulations on 1 year Gussy. It must be so rewarding to see how much you are loved by your blog readers and adoring Gussy fans :)
Oh wow!! I could use a new machine!! Mine is so old and was given to me free (which I appreciate greatly) but an upgrade would be AMAZING!!! Plus one of your products too!! So fun.
This would mean that I could give my mom back her machine! Ooo! Ooo! Pick me! :D
I learned to sew on a Singer! I used to watch my mom sew all sorts of stuff for me ~ even Baby Rainbow Brite costume for halloween when I was in kindergarten! I learned to sew on it when I was old enough and my mom gave me that machine when I went to college and I kept it until a year after I got married. To say Singers are workhorses is an understatement! I’m getting back into sewing now, and this would be an awesome way to springboard back in!
Wow that is amazing!
Wow! I would be so lucky and grateful to win this! This is so exciting! Congratulations! (I can’t stop using exclamation points!)

I would love to win a sewing machine. I tried to sew some things in high school, but failed miserably with it, but I know I didn’t give it the time or patience to really do a good job. I’ve been thinking about trying again lately & this would be the perfect way to get started! There’s so much I would love to make!
wow what an amazing giveaway! put my name in the hat!
Oh my! What a fabulous giveaway! I would love a sturdy NEW machine – mine’s over 30 years old!
Oh please, oh please, oh please!!!!!! I graduate one week from sunday and I really want a machine that I can take to college with me!

This would make an ideal first machine for my 4-H’ers. Awesome!

Wow Maggie, what an amazing giveaway. I would love to win! I know how to sew (I think?) but my sewing machine doesn’t work so I haven’t been able to. This would be amazing because there’s so many things I can’t find in stores, which means I have to make them! Congrats again on one year as a full time Gussy Girl! It has been SO fun and exciting to have a glimpse into this journey! <3
Oh My oh my oh my !!!!
I would so so so love love to win this! I just started sewing a few months ago.. and to hv a Singer like this would be a dream and one of your bags.. perfection! Ohhhh Maggie.. I’d love love love love to win! Did I say that yet? OMG what a fab prize! I’ll be holding my breath till tomorrow! xo hugs, bonitarose in fargo
Holy cow! This is awesome!!!
I’ve been sewing on my grandmothers old machine for the past ten years. I love it to pieces, but an upgrade would surely make my day!
Holy cow, what an amazing giveaway! I’d love to win a sewing machine!! Thank you!!!
Oh, wow! What an amazing giveaway! I’d love, love, love to have one!!
Congrats to you on celebrating one year.:)
I wanna win soooo bad! :-D
Whoa, this is a fantastic sewing machine! I can picture myself creating wonderful things with it. I am still in shock from reading your post! How fantastic! Good luck to everyone!
YAY for sewing machines with sturdy metal frames! YAY for singer! Happy Anniversary Gussy!
You know what I love about you, Gussy? You are not just about making and selling your own stuff. You’re also about encouraging others in their own creativity, and that’s just so cool.
That machine is gorgeous. Whoever wins the giveaway will be lucky indeed. :)
Happy anniversary week!!! :)
I loved reading your story today…how God imagined this life for you and graciously gave it to you! So amazing! Thanks for such a fun week and one last chance at a giveaway. Happy Friday!
WOW WOW WOW! What a giveaway!
I haven’t sewed in years and this would be the motivation to do so. My sewing machine unfortunately died a couple of years ago and I haven’t been able to replace it. This would be a wonderful new machine to own. It would jump start my creative juices again to sew clothes for my grandchildren.
Oh my!! I would live to win this one!!
Oh. My. Goodness. Gussy, I can’t tell you how amazing winning this would be. My current machine is a very inexpensive, basic machine, which is fine…but I know a better machine would really be better for my work. And I can’t take this machine with me when I get married, since it’s my family’s…it would just be perfect. *fingers crossed*!!
Wow!! Amazing!! I love my Singer but a new shiny one would be awesome!
Aaah, I would LOVE this machine! Congrats on 1 year of success flying solo!
Winning a new machine would be awesome!
I would LOOOOOOVE to win one. My mom’s sewing machine broke after 30 years and she is heartbroken. I would love to give this to her, because she’s the one who got me started on my sewing journey.
Wow! I surely need a sewing machine. I currently use my MIL’s from the early 80s.
I have two sweet daughters and would LOVE to start making cute little stuff for them!
xoxo
Oh wow! This would be awesome!
Whaaaaat??!!!! Holy cow what a FABULOUS giveaway!!! ::fingers and toes crossed::
Oh My Goodness! This is amazing, and a great way to celebrate your first year :-)
Please pick me ::fingers crossed:: i need a new sewing machine in the worst way!
Oh my gosh Gussy! This would be a dream come true. My grandma taught me to sew on a machine much like this, and I’d love to carry on the tradition.
Oooh! What a great giveaway, I would love to win. I have very little sewing skills, but I have always wanted to learn more. I’d love to have a reason to get sewing! I have triplet toddlers and I know this would come in handy :)
Thank you and Happy 1 Year Since You Quit Your Day Job!
Oh my gosh! This is such an amazing prize! I would love one…. My mother in-law always sews everything for me, since I really haven’t mastered it yet or have a sewing machine! This would be just perfect!
who wouldn’t love to win this? wowzers!!!
Wow! What a great testimony to your success to be able to have the giveaways you have this past week! Congrats again!!

What?! You are crazy awesome! Would love a sewing machine!
Thanks for hosting!
I cannot even contain my excitement! I have been wanting this exact sewing machine for so long!!

OMG….this is awesome! I’ve been looking at sewing machines for ages….to win one would be a dream! Thanks for such a fun filled week of giveaways! It’s been awesome…now if I can just win this one it would be even more awesome!
Wow, I really hope I win one of these! My sewing machine works, but not really well. The bobbin winds very imperfectly. This would be such a huge blessing. I’m hoping to start my shop in two months. :D
Ohmygosh! Such a wonderful giveaway I am dying to learn to sew! This would definitely be the perfect thing.
:)
Yeowww is right! What a great giveaway.

WOW!!! I would love to win this…congrats on your 1 year!!
I have an itty bitty $20 sewing machine that just doesn’t cut it. I’m DYING to learn how to sew but can’t afford a sewing machine at the moment. This would be GREAT!

How amazing!! What a great giveaway, thanks~!! And congrats again on all of your successes!
Erin
This week ROCKS here at Gussy. i would love to win this baby. If yes, I will donate mine somehow someway. Bring it. Congrats again Gussy.
this is a seriously generous giveaway & I have really really been wanting a sewing machine recently!
Congratulations on such a successful year! I’m new to sewing and loving it and people like you really are inspiring to me!
I would REALLY love to win this one! I have a very basic machine that I’ve been learning on, but I’ve been getting to the point where I could use an upgrade, especially since I plan on starting my own business once we’ve moved and settled. Crossing my fingers! And as always, thank you for the chance to win. :)
Yowza! Love that you’re able to give two of these away! I would love to win. I’ve been wanting to learn to machine sew forever.. my hands are gettin’ tired; not to mention the possibilities a machine creates! FUN!!!
♥ Best of luck to everyone.
so….on my list of things to do before i turn 30, sewing is one of them. {promise. you can see the list on my blog} i’ve always wanted to learn…would LOVE the opportunity to learn with a singer simply because i know they’re solid. please, please, PLEASE pick me? ;)
OMGsh! Must win! I’ve almost killed yet another sewing machine so this would be perfect timing! Fingers, eyes, and toes crossed I win!!!
Thanks!
Linda
I would love to have this machine as I am using one that was given to my 9 yr old! HA
I want this SO bad :)
Wow, what a great giveaway! Thanks Gus and Singer!
congrats to you Gus! how fab of SInger too!
xoxo
Once upon a time there was a sewing machine passed down in 1990. Of course there’s no more life in this great old sewing machine. 100 items to repair or add too.Everything new again. Thank You for the chance to win a new machine!
Again, congrats on your 1 whole year! Thank you to Singer for giving these away- a great machine for any new beginner- or even a seasoned- sewer!
OMGsh!! I had to pinch myself when I saw this giveaway this morning. My poor machine has seen better days and right not I am using it with a gentle pedal as I make some aprons and pillowcase dresses to sell to support a wonderful women’s ministry I am involved in. What a blessing it is to just have a shot at one of these beauties!
Great Give-Away! hope I win!!!!
amazing giveaway! Great way to wrap up the week! Would love to put that machine to use : )
What an awesome giveaway! Your bags are so gorgeous, I’d love to own one :)
singer is such a great brand – super user-friendly.
How terrific would that be! Am sobbing quietly to myself as I’m over the pond in deepest Cornwall, UK, and apparently don’t qualify for this fantastic giveaway. (I’ll pay postage if you’ll let me take part!) :)
Your makes are wonderful, backed up by superb pictures and a great sense of humour.
An inspiration for all of us out there who would love to take that leap of faith. Wishing you continued and ever-improving success.
HOOOORAAAYYYY!!!! This is awesome! :) I really hope I win – I have been on the prown for a sewing machine and wanted to start with something basic but I really think I could put my mind to this one and make really good use of it! Woweee!!!
Way cool! I sew on a Brother, which I ♥ , but I would love a machine that is a little more heavy-duty.
Congrats on your celebration week! :)
Loved all the giveaways…and this one would just be amazing! My creative little mind is already going…thanks for the opportunity! And congratulations on an amazing year!
I would dearly love to win a new machine foe my daughter Jordy. She is 11 years old and already has one quilt under her belt. This summer we hope to each make a new quilt from vintage sheets and fabrics. We desperately need a machine for Jordy to use all her own. Thanks so much for the chance to win.
Wow, what an amazing giveaway! I would love to upgrade from my old machine.
Would love to win this! Your stuff is beautiful!
This would be a dream come true. Thank you do much for the chance to win.
Wow, AWESOME giveaway! This would definitely kick-start all of the sewing inspiration I have been feeling lately… my niece will be arriving in a few weeks and I am so inspired to make so many things for her! (Even a bandana for her Big Pup Brother!) :) And congratulations on a FULL YEAR of doing what you love for a living!
I just love this post! I have an older Singer that I got for Christmas a few years ago and while it runs like a champ… It was a starter machine and how I would love to upgrade to something more technical. :)
Congratulations on the exciting development of your sweet little business! Who would have ever know? I love that God grows and blesses things when you take a risk and step out!
Oh my what another generous giveaway! This week has been so much fun thanks, even if we don’t win I know everyone has enjoyed seeing what you’ve thought up
I’d love to win a new sewing machine and one of your bags! Thanks for the chance to win :)
Thank you Singer & Gussy for a fabulous giveaway!! Soon I will have my own crafting space and this would be the perfect addition. Gussy, if I win, will you give me a lesson (I’m maybe 15 minutes from you)?
OMG!!!! This would make my day and definitely help with my sewing!!!!!
This would be a wonderful win. Thanks for the opportunity.
How cool! I sure wouldn’t mind being one of the lucky winners — and a big congratulations on your anniversary! -AK
What a great giveaway. Somebody will be very happy!
Wow! Rhys a beautiful, beautiful machine. This is my kind of giveaway. Let the other ladies scramble for kitchenaid mixers- my place of purpose is in stitching. Currently I’m using the cheapest model of sewing machine I think everexisted- a walmart brother and I can’t begin to tell you how often it frustrates me. While I’m light yers away from being a Very Big Shot sewing lady, I do own the little small beans etsy shop ‘Beaufulah’ where you can see my attempts at sewing pretty things. Thanks a million for the giveaway opportunity and congrats on the yearriversary
I am an ardent fan of my Singer Sewing machine. I worked selling them while I was in High School back in the nineties. That is when I got my machine and it has been kicking ever since! Even though I have gotten other machines over the years, I still mostly use my Singer. Even if the perfect machine fell into my lap, I would keep using it for button holes!!! No machine has ever touched it as far as button holes go! :o)
I would love to win this! I have been wanting a sewing machine for so long. Other expenses just always seem to get in the way. I already bought some patterns and have an idea binder of all the things I want to learn to sew!
Ooooh, I would LOVE to win one! I bought myself the lowest-priced machine when I taught myself to sew a few years ago, and I’ve really put it through the wringer :-) I just discovered your blog through twitter–I’m a new follower and LOVE what I’ve seen so far! Can’t wait to look through more of your beautiful site!
Great giveaway! I’ve needed a sewing machine for so long and this one is gorgeous!
Fabulous! I remember watching your FB page updates last year about quitting your day job & being excited for you. It encourages me to pursue my own creativity. (I’ve always wanted to learn to sew!)
Thanks again for the sweet giveaway!
This machine would be a welcomed and much needed upgrade from the basic, pulls to the right, loud as a chainsaw machine I currently have!
I am a quilter who is in desperate need of a new machine!
By the way, love your blog and especially your products! Congrats on your first year :)
:) This is awesome! I totally love to sew, and have been teaching some of the ladies in my MOPS group! This would be a dream come true!
My friend got one just last week. I’m super jealous and would LOOOOOVE to have one of these! It’s super easy and fun to use!
Wow! Simply amazing. I love how you were smart about starting & evolving & that this is your passion. So sweet on so many fronts. Thanks for the chance to win!
Such a generous giveaway! I would love to win one of these!
Wow this is totally awesome!!! Yeowww is right! I could actually be excited about sewing if I had shiny new machine to learn about.
WHOA!!! This is a dream come true! I hope it comes true! I have been looking to buy one for my 7th wedding anniversary on the 24th. Mabye this is a sign? Probably not but you never know! Thanks!
wow! gorgeous machine, i’d love to win.
I love my Singer! Its basic but I can do so much with it! Created a sewing room arou d it with its own antique armore!! Love sewing so much, hope I can be gutsy enough to do more with it some day.
What a nice giveaway! Thanks!
I just hosted a Singer Sewing machine party though HouseParty.com with this exact sewing machine. This machine rocks!! I hated giving the machine back. I wanted to keep it so bad but because of finances that wasn’t possible. My friends and I made all kinds of cool stuff for the kids and ourselves. I would LOVE to have this machine. I am a full time stay at home mom to my 3 wonderful kids and this would give me something to do and a skill to teach my children!!
What a great machine. Just had a SInger House Party and this was the machine they provided for us to use. Everyone loved it. Would love to win one for myself.
Woo Hoo! This would be great! I have a sewing machine, but it’s teensy tiny and only works on the thinnest of fabrics.
Great job, I took sewing classes with that model machine, they’re great!
I have recently gotten my sewing machine out and started working with it. I’m making a quilt for my girls (18 & 21 years old). I use to do a lot of sewing when they were little, making them summer dresses and crafting it up, but as they grew, time grew limited for me to sew. Now I am so ready to get back at it. I have so many things I want to work on, the list is growing! I would be thrilled to get a wonderful sewing machine like this, you have my creative wheels spinning. I work full time right now, but seriously would love to make a living at sewing, and creating. Putting my girls through college is our proirity right now, but wow, look where you have come from, and you succeeded! I know I could to!
Wonderful give-away! I know the perfect budding quilter who would LOVE to receive this machine. ~ My granddaughter, of course!
Congratulations for going after your passion! I would love to win this sewing machine! Thanks for the chance to win it!
I would love a new machine to get started sewing again! Thanks for the chance to win!
Awesome. Please can I win for my wife?
WOW! What an amazing giveaway!!! Thank you!!!
Okay, this giveaway prize, should I win, I must tell you, would not be for me. I would wrap this baby in a big beautiful turquoise bow and give it to my mother. My mom learned to sew from her mom (my sweet Grandma!) and she worked in a bridal shop as her first job. How cool is that!?! And now, in her small Iowa town she does a milion and one alterations for weddings and proms. She has sewn everything for her 6 kids from skirts and pants by following patterns we picked out when we were young to her current project: the table runners for ALL of the tables that will be at my wedding reception in 3 weeks. (Yippee! can’t wait!!) I was with her recently in JoAnn Fabrics (it might be my mom’s version of heaven. just sayin) and she drooled over a new sewing machine as she’s had hers for so long. I’d LOVE to be able to win this so I could give it to my mama as a THANK YOU for all the things she has sewn for me over the years and for all the work and love and support she’s given me always and as I’ve planned my wedding. Seriously, my mom ROCKS behind a sewing machine! Kind of like you, Miss Gussy! :)
I would love to win this machine! Thanks for the opportunity, I have really enjoyed reading your blog and following you on Twitter. Your business advise is wonderful and your ruffles are SEW cute!
Pick me! Pick me! I would love to win!
Would absolutely love to win this machine!
Ummm – hello! YES please! I have been fighting my “original” machine this week (think broken needles and crazy bobbin case) and this would be a blessing for me and my biz :) One small biz owner to another – thanks for being an inspiration and thanks for this FANTASTIC giveaway!
Oh my goodness. my husband bought me a used singer sewing machine 24 YEARS AGO!!! It is a VERY basis machine and i have longed for an upgrade. What a GIFT this would be as i have dreams to have my own little business someday and appreciate all of the “start up” business you share with your readers.
what a wonderful story yours has been… thanks for the chance to also begin again…!!
Oh, oh, oh! Pick me please. Would love to win this.
Wow!!! I would so totally love to win this beautiful beast! Thanks for a week of amazing give-aways!!!
Congrats! I found your site through Stephanie Howell. I’ve spent a good amount of time admiring your work :) Love it all! Thank you for a chance to win such a fabulous giveaway!
WOW,, you’ve had nice giveaways all week but this is amazing.. I would really love to win this,, in desperate need of an update. I’ve got the same one my husband (so thankful he encourages me) bought me 20 years ago. Crossing my fingers… Wishing you continued success throughout 2011.
I would love to win this! I love Singer sewing machines!
So nice of you to be giving a couple lovely machines away! We can all celebrate together! -Quinn
I am gearing up for a sewing business myself, and a machine like this would be a fabulous addition. You can’t go wrong with a heavy duty SInger. Love your work, and congratulations on your first year !!
I think my heart just skipped a beat! I cannot tell you what a blessing it would be to win this machine. Since I have had to stay home, it would be awesome to be able to stitch a few things and save some moolah…after I read about 30 books, as well. :)
I would LOVE this!!
This would be perfect as I’ve just gained an interest in really wanting to learn to sew.
OH MY!! I would LOVE this sewing machine. Thanks Gussy!!
I would love to learn how to sew…just need a sewing machine! :)
Wowza’s! That sounds awesome. I am a beginner, but would love a reliable machine to learn on and of course a Gussy creation!
Pick Me!! I want to learn to sew and this would be a great way to start :)
I, like everyone else, would love to win this! Thank you so much for the opportunity!
What a nice giveaway! I would love to have a machine like this as I’m new to sewing, thanks so much for the opportunity.
I just got my sewing machine working (an older Kenmore) but I have a VERY sweet friend that would love to have one of her own!
This give away is the mother of all give aways!!! I have been looking at (and dreaming of) sewing machines for a while now. Even last night as I was strolling through Hobby Lobby I was telling my friend how much I want to learn to sew. Not really for any reason other than I would totally make curtains for my house and bedding for everything. Oh…and clothes for my adorable nieces since my daughter is too cool for that stuff. LOL!! Congrats on your anniversary also!!!
Oh, my goodness! I would love this!
WOW!! Talk about the most amazing blog giveaway ever!!! Keeping my fingers crossed!
Congrats on your first year! Beautiful machine, would love to have one.
WOW! You weren’t kidding when you said today would be big! The features sound fantastic! Thank you for this great opportunity! jinglesells at gmail dot com
I agree that older machines are more solid. However, I’m sewing on a circa 1930’s Singer. It has one stitch. That’s it. I would love, LOVE, LOVE to win this giveaway and upgrade so that I don’t have to drive 20 minutes to my grandmother’s house when I want to do more (like applique or putting on a zipper).
Lovely, thanks for the giveaway, I hope I win and I know exactly who to give it to. My son, who is in college and will be getting his first apartment very soon, he is a creative genius and has been lovingly helping me to stitch, sew, design and create so many things since he’s been home this summer. He would absolutely LOVE this.
I love your story! What a blessing to go from a layoff to starting a successful business. My husband and I have talked about starting a crafting business together (he’s very crafty too!), and your story is so inspirational. Thank you.
I am new to sewing and would love to win this!!
Oh, I would love to win this giveaway! If I do, I really just might cry! Here’s to hoping!
WOW! Thanks for the opportunity to enter such a great giveaway! Would love, love, love to add this to the craft room!
Oh my goodness, Gussy! What an INCREDIBLE way to celebrate!! Thank you!! And thank you, Singer! Congratulations!!!
My mom keeps trying to convince me I can sew! Maybe this machine would push me over the edge into actually trying! Congrats on one year!
This is the coolest give away. I just had a Singer House Party and got to use this sewing machine but I could not afford to purchase it at this time. So it would be the most amazing if I won!! Love to sew!
Oh. My. WORD!! Gus Gus, this is amazing!! Thanks for the chance!
How exciting! I love to hear your success story. I too am a budding entreprener. I am a quieter, and I love to makw handbags. I started my business a year ago, and I am borrowing an old Singer machine, that is a work horse. Not mine, however. I so would love a reliable machine that I can call my own.
Best wishes for the next year!
I just found your website and i love it,my passion is sewing i could sew everyday~all day lol i would love to win this machine mine are very good but also seen better days. Since i have recievex 2 grandbabies this past year i have alot of sewing ahead of me,thank you for the chance to win Diana
oh wow! …. let me wipe my chine off first…. ;) ok. yep. totally have me itching for a new machine. I just can’t seem to get the tension correct on it, which is killin’ my drive to do another quilt!
I would love to win this sewing machine! How exciting it would be for me to sew on this model when my Singer is 20 years old. Thanks for the opportunity to try to win one of the two machines.
Evelyn Hansson
Congratulations on your anniversary! This is a beautiful machine and would make a nice addition to my craft room (although I’d need to make some room for it). Thanks for sharing and celebrating with everyone!
Congratulations on your new venture, so happy for you that is has been so successful. I to have dreamed of owning my own quilt/craft shop…..maybe some day. I would love to win a new sewing machine so I can keep creating and maybe one day I can sell my creations and open that shop. And besides what else is there to do during the cold Minnesota winters…..which I am sure you have learned…..LOL!!!!
Wow! Awesome giveaway!! Happy anniversary to you!
What an awesome give-away!! Congratulations on your first full time year!
What a GREAT Prize!!! Would LOVE to win it!! Thanks for the opportunity!
I also found your site through Stephanie Howell! Such an awesome giveaway! Congrats to you and here’s to many many years of sucess!
Oh gosh I would lOVE to win a sewing machine. I’ve been dying to try and make a pillow case skirt I saw online.
Hello, I found your site through facebook, and would like to enter to win a sewing machine, as m,ine is on its last stitch, so to speak. I love to sew and quilt , and the eurpro machine I recieved as a gift years and years ago just isnt getting it done. thanks for the oppertunity to enter the contest.
thank you for the giveaway! I enjoyed reading “your story”. What great inspiration, especially for someone who is down on their luck with life…..
What an awesome giveaway! I have been wanting a serger for some time now and I didn’t know that this machine could do it! I have also been wanting to not be so afraid of my own machine and zippers. (I still haven’t sewn my own zipper yet)
I have an old Singer from 1963 my mother gave me, I’d love to see what a newer machine can do!
:-)
Gussy. You. Are. Awesome.
You’re such an inspiration! Thanks for sharing your journey with us!
I reeeeaaallly want to start sewing to expand my crochet business so this would definitely be a big ol kick in the pants! :) eeek {LOVE}
What a great machine! I know you’re thrilled :)
I love your blog and your items. I can’t wait for the day I get to place my first order for one of your bags! I’m a crafted and a sewing machine would be put to good use in my craft room! Thanks for the beautiful art that you share!
What a great giveaway. Congrats on your 1st year working for yourself.
I love your blog, just came across it thanks to a friend on Facebook! I’d love to be able to win a sewing machine, I want to make clothing for myself and my children! :)
My mom is teaching me to sew and I’m desperate for a machine of my own — I have a queue of projects to make and don’t want to keep bugging my poor parents! This machine looks amazing. Thanks for a great site and congrats on your success!
YEOW for sure. What an amazing giveaway. Your success is so inspiring!
I have sewn all my life and currently make custom western horse show clothing and Arabian native costumes and Native American costumes as well as a few dresses for special occasions that are one of a kind.
I am sewing on an antique but totally reliable Singer so a new machine would be a welcome addition to my business and I could play forward the present on to someone who needs a machine that works but lacks the money to buy one.
Thank you
oh my goodness! you are awesome :) thank you for these fun giveaways! congrats on one year!!!!
You are so inspiring! I love reading your story again. Congrats again on a great first year as your own boss!!
I love the Singer brand sewing machine and my mother and grandmother all had singers as well as I. I find they are dependable, easy to operate and long lasting….they are cost effective as well..I started sewing when I was 10 yrs. old and is my first love…I will never stop making things…I would be thrilled to win a new Singer as mine is 20 yrs. old but still going strong..but new technology is always welcomed…Happy Anniversary !!!
I would love to be a Singer sewing triplet!! How very exciting!!
YEEOOOOWWWWW!!!!!!!!!! This is an amazing giveaway! Thanks!
YEOW! that’s an amazing giveaway!
What a great way to celebrate such a turning point in your life. Congratulations on having the guts to follow your dream. So many people just sit and wonder and don’t read those 30 library books to get them started on the path to being happy in their work. I would love to win this machine for my daughter who is just starting on her dream. She is majoring in technical theater and has started classes in costume design where she is discovering that she really likes to sew! Who knew!?
Ooo I would LOVE this machine!! It looks and sounds awesome!!
What a fun website. I would love to win this for my daughter.
Wow!! What a giveaway!!! Yay for 1 year!!!
I would love to win this machine. It looks like it has a lot of different stitches.
This is beautiful. I have a brother se6300. It’s been an okay machine, but there’s nothing like a singer… the machine my mom taught me to sew on was a singer too, 30 years ago.
Wow! That thing is a beaut! Please enter me, I’d looooveee to have a new sewing machine!!
Congratulations on you first year. Your things are absolutely delightful. thank you for offering this wonderful giveaway. I would love to own one just to do mending. Absolutely no competition for your incredible work.
Just discovering your blog! Love your style and can’t wait to read more!
that is too bad zzzz!!!
Pick me! Pick me!
Your story is AWESOME!
I would love to take a ride on my creative side! Congrats Gussy!
You are such an inspiration. I would love to win the machine:)
I have been sewing for about 8 years now. I had a Singer Sewing Confidence House Party on May 7 and I can’t get over how much I love this machine. I had to return it to the store I borrowed it from and have been franitcally trying to sell my old Brother machine and various jewelry and personal belongings to buy this machine. I can’t tell you how much it would mean to me and my family for one of the two to belong to us. I am trying to teach my daughter how to sew and my old machine is just too hard for her to learn on. She loved the Singer when I had it for oh so brief a time. She is only ten and I have already taught her how to knit, make beaded jewelry and scrapbooking.
This is a great machine! I got to borrow one and had a blast making things. It sewed through thick layers smoothly and evenly (diaper bag with home dec fabric and extra firm stabilizer) I would love to own one of these myself.
I would love to win a new sewing machine! I make quilts and do other general sewing. Singer is a great brand. Just found your blog on Facebook.
Ahhhhhh!!! Lovely giveaway!!! And once again, congrats on the one year anniversary and thank you for the inspiration!!!!
OMG!!! This would be so wonderful to win! I would love to win a new sewing machine. Mine is a beginner one, I have been drooling over this sewing machine for a while!!!
Jodi

I would love to win this machine! Thanks for an awesome giveaway!
Wow! This is incredible! Would love to win!
Nothing would make me happier thank to sew up some ruffles on a new Singer Machine! Thank you and Singer.
Wow! How exciting! I would love to be the owner of one of those shiny, new sewing machines! Congrats on one year! Thanks!
This is great! I would love to win one of these sewing machines! Congratulations on following your dream and being such a successful and inspirational woman!
Can’t wait to win!!!:) Thanks for doing this. If I win I know what I’ll be playing with all summer!!
The first time I went on your site I was so excited you quit your day job to do this!!!! I have been sewing since I was in 4th grade (I’m now 51). Can you believe sewing was a requirement for my school system?! And the first year we sewed EVERYTHING by hand, including the dress I made. The sound of a sewing machine at work is a somfort sound for me. I hope I win!
Thanks, Terri Currier
I did a test-run of this machine through the Singer Home Party. Love it. Just can’t afford it!
wowzers…what an amazing giveaway! congrats on all your success!
You truly are a talented lady! I am so inspired and impressed by your work and the words of encouragement you offer on your blog. I just stumbled upon your blog through another blog and am so happy I found you. I’m in need of some wristlets as bridesmaid gifts and will be coming back to make a purchase. Thank you, Gussy!
wow!!! I’d love a singer!!!! I am not back into sewing and would love to have a singer to help get me “up to speed”!!!
Oh wow! This is amazing! It would be totally awesome to win a sewing machine! I’m one of those people that needs more crafting in my life :)
Oh how I would really, really love to win this sewing machine. My old one is on the brink of quitting. I so need to sew some curtains for the daughter-in-love but haven’t taken time to drag out the old Singer and try. Please pick me for one of the machines so I can redeem myself with the family.
Love hearing your story of the “Gussy Journey”. So encouraging and cool to see how God has a plan in everything :)
Soooooooooooo exciting! I would love to win, it would be the spark I needed to live each day with a little more artsy flourish! ;)
And Happy Birthday Gussy Sews!
You had me at “serge-like stitch!” Yowza!
I would love to win this machine. I have 2 lovely “almost” daughter-in-laws that would benifit from this. Love your blog & Welcome to Minnesota!!
What an amazing giveaway! Congratulations on your first year.
It’s sad that I used to rely on my mom to sew my things, even though I took sewing classes as a child. (I’m a 29 year old mother myself!) Now that we live 13 hrs apart, its time for my own machine!! I would love love love to win this!
Oh my goodness! Love this giveaway and would absolutely love this machine! :)
I would love to win this sewing machine!!!! I have wanting a sewing machine so bad but can’t afford it. This would just make my year!!!
I have my husbands grandma’s sewing machine and would love an update. It has tendency to spill grease everywhere. Crossing my fingers!! Thanks for the chance!
I would totally learn to sew on that beautiful machine! Amazing giveaway! :)
I have a grandson and a another grandbaby on the way. I would love a new sewing machine so I can make them all kinds of goodies!
Yeeeeoooowsas, how exciting! I’ve only just started with embroidery, but sewing is/will be my next new adventure. Congratulations on pursuing something fun and unconventional. Keep on keepin’ on.
I just started my very own Etsy shop back in March. I would love, love, LOVE a new machine that would allow me to do more. I have had mine since I was in high school, and it is starting to lose tension and is constantly messing up on me. :( There are so many things that I would like to try, but my machine is very limiting.
Oh please pick me. :)
I am due in January and would love to have a sewing machine to make our little baby some things.
Wow! That machine looks so great!
I would love to win this for my grand-daughter would knock her socks off!
Please pick me, my machine is so old, I’ve had it since I was in high school! (15 years!)
wishing you much continued success!
oh my…what a fantastically awesome giveaway. I’d very much LOVE a machine of my own (I’m currently borrowing my mum’s) Thanks for the chance!
Ahhhhh, how exciting! Loved hearing your fear on the first day you were home and doing that full-time. I can completely relate and some day I still have that thought…but then I am comforted by knowing His plan for me and that this was His design all along. Thanks for being so inspiring!………and for the chance to win an awesome prize!
My Mom is a work-from-home seamstress and she certainly deserves a new sewing machine. Thanks for the opportunity and congratulations on the anniversary of fully pursuing your dream!
Wow, what an awesome prize. I’d be giddy to trade in my cheapo sewing machine for the confidence stylist!
my sewing machine is on it’s last legs, so I’d love to win a new one!
Oh Gussy, I have just found your site and I just love your work! I could never make the gorgeous stuff you do but I sure would like to make some curtains out of the table cloth I got for $10 without hitting up my mom for some time on her machine!
oh my goodness! oh my gracious! goly gee! I would really love to win this, haha. I hand sew everything and this would make sewing so much faster! Thanks for the chance to win, darling! And congrats on the one year of working for yourself!
OMG would love to win this machine. The machine I have now is over 30 years old. I really don’y know how I would act
This is really exciting! I’m a fan of heavy-duty sewing machines especially for help in replacing zippers and working on jeans for my alterations business. Thanks for the opportunity!
I really enjoy your blog. Please enter me, I’d love to have a Singer, as my mom has been sewing on one for well over 40 years now!
You’re such an inspiration. It’s wonderful how passionate you are about your business. You’re right about sewing machines never dying. I use the sewing machine my grandmother bought when she was 15 years old. It weighs a TON and has a temperament but I love that so many generations in my family have made beautiful things with it.
OMG! HOW AWESOME!
Wow! That’s an awesome giveaway! I have a US mailing address just in case I win :)
whoo hoooo – that would be sooo awesome!
congrats on the anniversary – live it up!
oh, such a cool giveaway.
Enjoy the excitement of year 2!
What an awesome machine and giveaway! It would be a dream to win one!!
Holy Moly! What an amazing giveaway. I’m taking my first sewing class this Saturday and I can’t wait to get started. This baby would make my efforts even easier.
What an amazing giveaway! What you’ve done with Gussy is wonderful! Keep up the amazing work!
Oh wow wow WOW!!! This would be so incredible!! My poor little machine can only do so much, and I would love the Singer to come to my house to play!! Thanks for the chance!!
Winning this machine would be such an amazing blessing! Thanks for the opportunity :)
Love that story about taking a leap of faith! Submitting your talents for his glory? You can never go wrong! Congrats!
Since I started reading your blog, I have been very inspired to start sewing myself. This is such an awesome giveaway. I really hope I win one!
My wife would love to have this prize.
Woah, how AWESOME!!! Your creations are so pretty and I love the fabric combos. So glad you were able to follow your dreams!
Thank you for sharing your anniversary with us!!! =0)
SEW, SEW, SEW EXCITING!!!! Congrats on an incredible 1st year @ Gussy full time! I would absolutely LURV life w/ a Confident Stylist.
Xoxo.
I have always wanted to make quilts like my Grandmother and cute little clothes for my daughter. I have my dh mother’s machine, but it is ancient and doesn’t run very well adn making any big project is just out of the question! This would be awesome!
I learned to sew the very basics back in high school. The women in my family weren’t very crafty, but I have always wanted to learn. Now i have a 7 year old daughter who loves crafts, and wants to learn. However, the 16 year old machine i have jams up( i have been sewing all my daughters brownie patches on by hand because my machine won’t do them) and is soooo hard to thread. I would love to take this opportunity to teach my daughter and also learn alongside her doing something that we both love. My hope is that in starting early, she will stay interested in it and hopefully teach her kids someday. Thanks so much for the opportunity!
Hello,
Enter me please!
Ella,
I am a devoted knitter who has always wanted to learn how to sew! This would be a perfect way to start. Thanks for the awesome giveaway.
This is awesome! Right now I’m borrowing one of my mom’s machines…and would LOVE to have one of my own.
Swoon. I was just telling my friends yesterday how I wish I had a sewing machine. Oh the things I could make! How amazing it would be to win this :)
So exciting! Thanks for sharing! ;)
awesome. Dream big you are worth it.
You’re so right! I recently purchased an older singer from a friend – and I am sooo happy! {Long story, my machine had kicked it, and I was borrowing from someone} It’s got a heavy netal base, and I didn’t even realize how much I had missed it, until I have that back with this “new” one!
Wonderful giveaway! Just peeking around your site! Love your color/pattern choices for your products!!
Woohoo!! I have a White machine and it’s sewn a gazillion key chains, literally thousands. I would love a new machine with some spiffy upgrades!!
WOW! this is a great machine. I am shocked and impressed it’s a prize in a giveaway. So, I HAD to toss my name in the hat :) crossing fingers! I love sewing and am still learning. Found it’s so much more fun to learn with my friends. Would love to have this machine for us to share :)
Oh the things I could do with this awesome giveaway!! I would so LOVE to win this!! I have so many ideas/projects that I could complete! Pick me, Pick me, Pick me!!
I would love love love to win! I am a fairly crafty person (I love to crochet, knit, and scrapbook) and I have really wanted to become better at sewing, this would be SUCH a wonderful kick start!
I Love your passion! That sewing machine looks like it’s one that gets the job done.
I think it’s fabulous that you share your love of sewing like this!! You are awesome.
Wow! What an incredible giveaway! Woohoooooooo – thanks for the chance to win!
That would be awesome to win a new sewing machine. I have had my Kenmore for years, like yours, it’s a workhorse and has been a good machine. But I would love to have a new, more up to date machine, not in the budget at this time. Awesome giveaway!
my last day of work is may 31st and i’ll be staying home with my 6 month old and opening a website for a few fellow local artists! congrats on your sweet success :) i have 3 people teaching me how to sew right now and i don’t have a sewing machine! my husband and i agreed that when i learn how to sew, then we’ll invest. hoping i win one!
Gussy, this is AWESOME!!! My sewing machine was $5 at a yard sale. I don’t use it much because it didn’t come with instructions and (to be frank) my Mom isn’t here to help me figure it out so I get frustrated with it quickly – mostly because I can’t ever seem to remember how to thread it correctly. A machine like yours would totally make my year!
What a joy it would be to win a new Singer! Mine has been going for at least 11 years but I use it so much that it’s time for an upgrade. Oh how I’d love to try this one!! Love your blog too!
WOWSA! You are amazing! What a great giveaway! I love what you do!!!
My hubby is about to deploy and I would love to pursue more sewing projects while he is gone to keep me busy. Please pick me! I would love this!
I have my nana’s very old Singer and my mum’s 1950’s Singer. I learned to sew on my mum’s machine. My late husband kept it in working order, but now it has finally quit working. So many ideas of things to sew floating thru my head!
I share a sewing machine with my mom but would love to have my own. Fingers crossed!
love this! i stumbled on your blog recently and fell in love!!
I would love to win. I just started sewing and am borrowing my MIL machine, so I WOULD LOVE a machine of my own!!!
Oh my! You weren’t kidding when you said the final giveaway would be AMAZING! I thought I really wanted the blogging tutorial but I was mistaking. I REALLY want a sewing machine. I had to sell mine when my hubby and myself lost our jobs last year. It hasn’t been on the top of our priority list for repurchase. Oh how I want this so so badly. Crossing fingers and toes again. I love singer too. With my first machine something was wrong with the foot. I called them up and they asked for my address and put a new one in the mail. No questions asked. Very good customer service oriented company.
Oh my! This would be so much fun to have! I’m just dreaming of all of the things that I coudl make for my 5 kiddos, 4 of which are girls.
GEEEEEEEEZZZZZZZZZZZZ, I realize this is a really big LONG shot – too good to be true, right? The only sewing I ever did was on my mom’s Singer and now that she is gone, so is the sewing machine and I have no memory of what happened to it. This would be thrilling beyond words to win this yummy package prize!!!! Please oh please fickle finger of fate, my fingers are crossed!! I already know what my first project will be ;-) hugs and more hugs
<3 How wonderful that you can do something creative that you love full time :)
Yes yes yes please! I have been wanting to learn how to sew since I started staying home, but no machine yet! This would be PERFECT! Thanks Gus!
the best giveaway i’ve seen in so long, oh my goodness! ♥
wow how incredibly generous! Would truly love to win this since mine has been shot for a few months now already : (
W O W =) I would love to win this! Thanks sewwwwwwww much for the opportunity to win Gusssy {wink}.

What a dream come true. I WOULD LOVE to win this machine. I loose myself in a fabric store and all my worries
escape me. The thought of owning one of these incredible machines would be one of the luckiest days of my life!
would love to win a sewing machine! My mom’s the seamstress in our family but I’d love to win a machine and then take some classes…or have my mom show me how to use it! we could have a sewing party – she’d love it if one of her 4 girls would actually sew!!!
How awesome! Love your stuff! A friend and I have started a craft business and all that’s missing is a good sewing machine! We would be so grateful!! Thanks so much for the giveaway! :))
Holy buckets! This is amazing!!!
What a great giveaway!! I’m crossing my fingers and toes that you draw my number!! Thanks! :)
You have such a great heart. I love it! Thanks for hosting a fabulous giveaway!
I would so love this….I have been trying to sew everything by hand and it is impossible! I might acutally get some projects done to share with everyone :)
Thanks for the opportunity.
I love all your products! You are extremely creative person!!!
I’ve been begging my husband for a sewing machine!
OMG…I was JUST telling My hubby I needed something more heavy duty!! I have really started to sew more and more and think I am ready for a “big Girl” machine(lol)! It would be FAB to win! I love singer it is what my G-ma had, my mom and now maybe me! :)
Maggie!!!!!! Would it be wrong to win this and just save it for MY Maggie? ;) Just kidding. This is an amazing, mind-blowing giveaway!! I’m so proud of you. It has been so much fun to watch you on your journey and I’ve been so pleased and inspired by you. I would honestly love to win one for my dear mother. She has been through so much in recent years and I have always wanted to give her something lovely. She has been wanting one for sure. :) Either way….whoever wins one of these will be deserving. Congratulations on 1 year, friend!
This machine looks like a dream! I’d be thrilled to win one.
I love that it still has a metal frame. I’m using my Mom’s old sewing machine right now, a Viking from the mid 70s. I love it but I know it won’t last forever, although it would be great if it did! I love your blog and all the ruffles too!
Oooooh, I would LOVE to win this! Congrats on your success!
I have been craving a sewing machine for so long! I love doing sewing projects…but always have to wait until I have a chance to get back to the farm to do any sewing. This looks like a fabulous machine!
I would L-O-V-E to win this one! I have my grandma’s old sewing machine, which is so special to me, but I would rather display it than use it. <3
What an amazing giveaway!! As a new and inspired sewer……this would be SUCH a blessing! I have been borrowing a sewing machine from a gal at church and would LOVE to have my own!
WOW!!!!! What an amazing giveaway!! I would love to win a sewing machine as I have never personally owned one, I always just borrow from my grandmother or hand sew. I am really into creating hand made clothes for my two little girls and a sewing machine would make this much easier!!!! I hope I WIN:)))
Ohmysweetgoodness! this is an amazing giveaway! I hope I win! Congratulations on your achievements and happiness!
NAt

i have a Brother, but I would love to win one of these to give to my new soon-to-be
Sister-in-Law as a wedding present! I love to sew and it comes in handy for all those
fun homemaking ideas and needs :)
I’m just getting back to sewing after a couple of year break. I used to make vests for myself and others. Now, I’m wanting to tackle jacket making and even try some Ina patchwork style. Would love to have a machine that had a surfer stitch available. Wow what a deal.
How fun to get the chance for a brand new sewing machine. Thanks so much for the giveaway!
Wow. WOW! No hope, but wowsa! I would love this…
Oh my. It would be amazing to win this!! Awesome! :)

wowers this would be one GREAT thing to win! so generous you are=) blessings on your business!
I would love to get this machine. Heavy duty is what i need for quilting.
Oh my goodness! Winning one of these machines would be an answer to prayer! I sew on an old, worn out Elgin table machine from the 50’s, and while it has character to boot, it is definitely on its last leg! I sew a lot for my friends and family, and I’m working on new ideas, and thinking of selling some things, so a new machine would be a huge blessing!
I absolutely love your blog and your positive spirit, and your products are so cute! Thanks for the opportunity to enter. :)
YEOOOOWWW!!!! That is so cool! ;)
Oh how I wish to win this! My sewing machine is about to die from over use, and this one sounds amazing! Congrats on one year! :)

Yes please!! I would love my life if I won this! Thanks for an awesome giveaway :)
my machine just died last week. it made a super loud clunking noise and then nothin. it wont even turn on anymore. i would LOVE this machine like it was my baby!!.
OH MY GOODNESS! I want to be a sewin- machine-triplet! This would seriously make my year!!!! :)
I would LOVE to win!! I want to start sewing clothes for my boys
I’m praying right now that the Lord would provide me a way to win this!
I’ve been looking to take my creativity to the next level. I know that means i must have a durable and dependable sewing machine like this one. I think I would cry if i actually won. This is amazing, and I’m so humbled to see such a fine giveaway! You are so talented, and I love every single product you make. Every one. I am delighted to hear your inspiring story, and i’d love one day to tackle entrepreneurship and be as bold as you. I’m quite nervous about making the jump from corporate world to creative world. I’m only 23 though, so i’ve got my whole life ahead of me.
Congrats on such a successful page!
I think I would die of a heart attack if I won! Right now I hand sew everything and this would be like a dream come true!
My goodness I would LOVE to win!! I’ve been wanting to upgrade my brother since I started sewing. Look forward to reading your blog everyday, Happy Bloggyversary!!!!
Wow, what a giveaway! I would love to win! Congrats on your anniversary…
Wow! What generosity! I would love one of these to upgrade, and to pass my current machine along to a wanna-sew sister. Thanks!
I too have my own sewing business but have been so busy with school I have not had time to reach the heights you have. Congratulations on your success!!
AHH, I WOULD LOVE TO WIN THIS!! I have been wanting a sewing machine for awhile now, this one looks incredible. :)
I would absolutely LOVE TO WIN!! I sewed for the first time about 2 weeks ago, at a friends Singer Sewing Party and I was hooked! I came back a week later (used this same machine!!) and made my first pillow dress and couldn’t be happier with the results (although I have lots of improving to do!) and my daughter looked absolutely adorable. I’m in the process of bugging the fiance to allow the splurge! With a new house and an upcoming wedding the amount of DYI-options are endless and this machine would definately help!!!!!
Hope you’re having a great day (:
oh, wow! what a giveaway… i’d love to get in on this and i could pass my current machine along to someone who could really use it.
Wow, what an amazing giveaway! I’ve been sewing now for over 20 years, from when my grandma first helped make a pair of overalls for my little brother :) I love to sew, but my current machine sounds like there’s a cup of rocks inside & shakes the table so bad it’s hard to see the foot :) So yes, put me down for the drawing!
I am always excited to hear the story of a successful Etsy seller. I have a Singer that I love,but I do not have all of the fancy stitches. Think of what I could do:)…I love all of your bright colours….good luck and thanks for sharing!!!!!!!!!
Love your product line:)
I’ve been a busy busy quilter doing things for my 5 grandchildren and wondering how much longer my machine will hold up!
Would live to try this Singer!
Oh my goodness!!!! I would love to win one of those!!!
YEOOOOWWW for sure!!!! Totally awesome! I would L.O.V.E. to win!! Thanks and Congrats!
holy cow!! this would be awesome since my basement flooded and ruined my machine :( yayyaayayayay!! i hope i win!! awesome giveaway!
OMW, this would be amazing. I started a small business last year (using my trusty basic Kenmore as well…lol) and I would love to have a good machine to sew on. Plus my 11 year old has been begging to learn but I can’t risk her breaking my only form of income machine. What a blessing this truly would be!!! Fingers crossed and prayers going up. I’m due a big blessing. :) If you only knew.
WOW, that does sound like a wonderful workhorse, yet has many options! Been looking for a good machine for my daughter-in-law. She is using a Kenmore from way back and needs an upgrade. Would be great for children’s and home dec sewing. Have a wonderful weekend!
Wow… I’d love to win one of these machines! My mom has sewn all of my life and I dabble a bit. To have my own machine would mean I could do so much more! I can just imagine all of the things I could make with it for myself and others and I could even start to make and sell items! Oh boy!
Congratulations again Gussy on 1 year of being full-time at Gussy! Praying many more years of success for you!
I love all you make!! I would also love to win this!!
Hi, Gussy! Count me in for this FAB!!! giveaway!!! I could use some sewing Confidence and your story already has provided so much inspiration. Maybe this is all I need to finally start sewing with all the fabric I have collected:) But of course the pouch is my fave part of the giveaway;)
Oh what fun!!! I’m just learning to sew myself, and would LOVE to win one!
Congrats on your anniversary!
j
Wow! What an amazing give away! I would be thrilled to win. I recently started sewing (very basic) clothes for my little boy, a new machine would push me to try bigger and better projects.
Holy Moly!!! You’re firing off the big guns today, huh? My first sewing machine has been great, but it is definitely the very very basics… a newer/more powerful upgrade would be amazing!!!!
who wouldn’t love this??? Sooooooooo cool!! Pick me please! :)
YEOWWWWWW!!!!!
Thanks for the chance to win, INCREDIBLE giveaway, and btw….
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, stay blessed!
Yes, you can get a huge Yeeeooooowwwwww!!!
My machine just died, so very sad! I didn;t get to make my mom’s day gifts that I had planned. This would the ultimate, amazing win for me! And a gussy pouch!?! Too much loveliness!!
Consider me entered! Thanks Gus!!
Thank you for the amazing giveaway!! I hope that I can be the next winner. Love all of your work Gussy!! I will keep my fingers cross : )
I just made my dream come true and opened my own child care center. I would love to win a machine, I’m dreaming of having one, so I can soften up the center with fabrics and textiles. Things are very tight when you make your dreams come true, as you welll know. I’d really love to decorate the world my little kiddos spend up to ten hours a day! There are some lovely stories here so I know who ever wins will treasure this prize. And by the way, good for you, Gussy, you’re doing such great marketing for yourself. So many people pursue their dreams but fail because they don’t do any marketing. Good for you! Good for you!!!
I would LOVE to win this machine! I will put it to good use on many beautiful projects! Thank you! : )
I would love to win this sewing machine, I have been shopping around for a new sewing machine since my stopped working, but to win this one would be awesome!

Happy Friday! What an awesome giveaway!! =)
Awesome! I might actually sew more with a nicer machine. :)
very nice giveaway, thanks for the chance. and congratulations to you, gussy! you’re living the dream! :)
I would love a new machine! That would be perfect!!! Count me in!
i so want to be more crafty!
That looks like a great machine! I just found your blog a few weeks ago and you’ve been such an inspiration to me!
My machine is ancient…this would be awesome. Congrats and thanks for the chance!
Congratulations! You are an inspiration. I love to sew but never seem to have the time because of work but I would love to do what you did. Oh yeah, my Kenmore is a pretty good sewing machine when it wants to work correctly. I would love to win a new one to give new life to my passion for sewing too. Again, congrats. Keep on smiling!
Oh how fun and exciting! 5 years ago I told my husband I’d like to learn how to sew and play the guitar. So for Christmas he got me an acoustic guitar. Ever since then we’ve joked that the sewing machine should have been the choice because I have a file folder FULL of things I’d love to sew but don’t have the machine to make them! The guitar won’t put curtains on the windows or clothes on my daughter. ;o)
I love reading your story! Such a huge inspiration!
Winning one of those beauties would definitely be the icing on my cake of just starting how to sew!!
Happy Friday! xxx
I want to win :)
YEOWWWW! :-D How exciting!
Love all of yourr stuff!! So adorable!! This would be awesome!! Thanks for doing this giveaway!!
Oh very nice! Thanks!
Wow!! What an awesome prize!! It would be a blessing to win one of these as we’re expecting our second baby and I wanted to make a baby quilt!
I would loooove to win this!! I love singer machines!
You can never have to many hugs, chocolate bars or sewing machines.
Thanks for the Giveaway and Congrats on one year!
YEOWWWWW!!! I have been borrowing my mother in laws machine for 3 years trying to teach myself how to sew! I have been pricing them online lately, day dreaming about buying one! What a perfect giveaway, thanks!
Great giveaway!
What an amazing giveaway, thanks to both you & Singer!
Oh my goodness, what an amazing giveaway! I’ve wanted to purchase a sewing machine for some time; but as a stay-at home/homeschooling Mommy to four munchkins…something else always comes up ;)
Oh, I just have to win this one! My Brother machine bit the dust last year, and now that baby is coming and I’m dying to sew things for him, I’m completely lost!!! Because of baby coming and paying for all that stuff, I can’t afford to go out and buy a machine.
My fingers are ready to SEW! :)
Also… it’s my 5 year wedding anniversary today, so it would be like giving me a belated wedding gift! Ha! Thanks again, I am so excited and praying to win!
Whoops. I just noticed we were only supposed to enter once. Sorry!
I’ve been dreaming of owning a sewing machine for a while now. This looks amazing!
Wow, great giveaway and great small business start up story!
That would be an awesome prize to win !
Oh my word. I would be so so so so excited to win this!! I want a sewing machine in the worst way but cannot justify the purchase seeing as how I’m a beginner & would be starting from square one!! Awesome give away!!
this would be amazing!! i have my grandmothers old sewing machine – mostly for nostalgia. it seems to have a personality of it’s own and only works on it’s good days :) i have so many projects i’d love to try out, just need a good machine! you’re an inspiration!
What an AWESOME giveaway!!!!
What a neat giveaway!
I’ve been looking for a sewing machine to get my creative-need-to-sew itch on! Fingers crossed that I get picked!! Keep up the fabulous work yourself!!!
Holy Moly! What a wonderful giveaway! You’ve come a long way and even though I don’t know you, I burst with pride every time I read your story! So inspirational to my own life. Keep up the great work!
I have been looking to buy a machine for some time. Thanks so much for the giveaway and your inspiring entreprenurial story :)
What a super special giveway to close out a fantastic week! Lovely!
So touched and so impressed by your story, I really love when I see people fulfill their dreams. I am a teacher and as one there is nothing better than to inspire others to “be what you want to be ” Congratulations on this one year and thanks for the opportunity. I love sewing too any time I get a chance I love trying to come up with new ideas, that is when I am not leaving stiches and positive marks in my students hearts .
Woot! I’ve always wanted to learn how to sew and in fact I had briefly bought a machine (and subsequently returned it) to do so. It wasn’t a good machine for me to learn on, sadly. :(
This is just awesome! I am currently using a 20+ year old Brother my BFF’s hubby bought at a garage sale – it used to eat my thread but then I rigged it with a straw and now it works great but to have something new and fancy – that would be splendifferous!
I love your creativity! Congratulations on taking the leap and making it a year!
I have been asking for a sewing machine for a YEAR. I still don’t have one.
One of my fondest memories of my mom (of which there are precious few) is from when I was nine. She busted out the sewing machine to make my Halloween costume (a jester) & she let me help. I pinned & cut out the pattern, & we started to sew. She taught me about the bobbin, & tension, & sewing a straight line. Too bad we sewed the legs of the costume together the first time! But it offered a valuable lesson – seam ripping :)
I have so many ideas for things to sew, I’m just waiting on a machine. So PICK ME!!
like woah!! Oh man… if there was ever a giveaway that I wanted to win THIS is it!!!!! Wow wow wow I so want to be your sewing machine triplet! ;)
YEOWWWW!!! is right!
I am using my sister-in-law’s machine that she bought so I could teach her how to sew. I borrowed it from her when the machine that I had been using (My parents bought me when I graduated from High school) died :(.
I would love to win!
Double yeowwwwww!!!! This would be so awesome!
Congrats on your 1 year!
WOW!!! When I told you last night I was excited for the giveaway tomorrow, I didn’t know it would be THIS BIG!!!! I WOULD LOVEEEEEE to have this baby and learn how to sew since both my mom and sister sew and I’ve been saying just the other day actually, that learning to sew has been on my to do list forever!!!! And….we’d be twin sewing machine girls with pink nails! hahaa :) Thanks for all your giveaways!!!!
xoxox
oh my, this is huge! what an amazing giveaway! I would love this machine, it could help me very much with my own handmade biz… thanks so much for this awesome chance! and congrats again to your 1 year!!!
Aww, Maggie! This would be sooooo incredible. I’ve been wanting a sewing machine for the loongest time and have had no idea where to start looking. We have a baby due July 4, and I’ve been wanting to try my hand at sewing some things for his/her nursery. This would be wonderful! Thank you, and I’m so happy for your success!
~Laura

This could be it for me… where I could finally dive in to something I have always wanted to do…. I imagine the curtains, bed skirts and other things I could sew and just have never taken the plunge! Way to go Gussy!
Wow, this is an amazing giveaway and I would love to be the lucky winner!!
Kelli @ loveoursimplelife.blogspot.com
I was just talking to a friend of mine about sewing machines last night. I told her that I have been askig for one since I met my husband 8 years ago. But every time a holiday comes up he thinks of everything but a sewing machine. Maybe it’s a sign that I was meant to win this contest? :)
Congrats on a hugely successful year!
oh, how I would LOVE to win one of those! Thank you for the chance!
I am entering this one for a dear friend that has a cool ministry called Stitch of Hope!!!
oooohhh! I want, I want, I want :)
Incredible giveaway!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOVE your stuff!!!
WOW! Or Yeowww! :)
If I win I will give my 7 year old Brother machine to a dear friend who loves to sew but can’t afford a new machine, bought a used on on craigslist only to discover it needed major work done on it and it only worked for 1 day. :( So please pick me random picking machine so two people can be blessed with awesomeness! :) Congrats Gussy on 1 year! Awesome!
I would love to win
This is awesome! I’d love to win :)
Congratulations on your 1 year anniversary of freedom and creativity! Also, what an exciting giveaway! I’d love to replace my poor old sewing machine (my mom’s 8th grade graduation gift from 1970) with a beautiful new one!
(Sorry, poor old machine…please don’t be offended.)
Oh pick me pick me!!!! I would soooo love a new sewing machine! Mine is a handmedown and not the greatest, but a new sturdy Singer? LURVE! You really did save the best for last, this is an amazing giveaway! congratulations on your first year as Gussy!!!
I just found you through CraftGossip.com. What an awesome story! I just started sewing in November 2010 and hope to one day get good enough to sell things. Still trying to find something I’m passionate about sewing. Your story is truly an inspiration to me and your products are beautiful. Thank you!!
YEOW is right! I am dying for anew machine and this would fit the bill nicely!
are you joking?! BALLER!
What an inspiring post — thank you so much for sharing your story!
I would love to get my little hands on that beauty of a sewing machine!
This is so exciting. I would love to win a new sewing machine.
I am totally leaving a comment….I love what you have shared and feel the potential for something good here!!
I was just telling my husband that I really wanted a sewing machine to start sewing things for our coming baby…I hope I hope I hope I win!!! :-)
Oh my gosh! I NEED this! My machine, Hilda (yes, i named her!), broke a short time ago and I’m aching to sew again. I am trying to start a business and this, of course!, would be kind of a bonus, you know….so I could sew. :)
YAY!!!

I would love to win one of these!! My grandma taught me to sew when I was younger, in addition to knitting, crocheting and cross-stitching. I have picked up the others again, and have only been held back from the sewing by my lack of equipment! This would be fantastic! :)
WANT WANT WANT! Thanks for hosting the giveaway!
I would LOVE a new Singer Sewing machine!! I have my mom’s from 1975!!!! It works but would be great to have a new one! :)
Oh the places I could go with this delightful thing!
You’re amazing. I wouldn’t know what to do with this machine at first, but I’ve always wanted to learn! {And I need new pillow slipcovers!}
What a great story you have! and what a great giveaway! I would love that machine :)
YEOW! Congrats on one year! You are definitely an inspiration. It would be so much fun for me to get back to sewing things for the house!
What a fun giveaway!! I would LOVE to win this sewing machine!
Wow what a wonderful giveaway! Thanks for the opportunity to enter! Joy
Best giveaway ever!! I’ve been wanting to purchase a sewing machine for the past year but haven’t had the money too. I really want to learn how to make my own pillows, bags, clothes etc. This would be amazing to win!!!
This is awesome! I am so glad to hear from someone that is a fairly new sewer… so many people have been sewing since they were little, and it’s a little intimidating… Congratulations on all your success!
That is just amazing, Maggie……both the giveaway and just when I think about all you’ve accomplished in one short year. Most people spend a lifetime trying to succeed in the ways you have. I love your passion and I hope you have many, many years of success!! I know you will!
I just realized my first comment had the wrong email address…..this one is correct :)
I’ve just started sewing in the last year and my mom is thrilled that I seem to have inherited both her and my grandmother’s love for craftiness. My friends have been encouraging me to step out and do more with my efforts lately. This sewing machine might give me that extra push! Here’s hoping my number is called :)
This is awesome! I would love to have this! I’d love to learn to sew and my mom is really good at it!
Oh my gosh…this would be a dream come true!
{ps-congrats on the one year! I love following your blog!}
Oh my goodness how awesome!!!
Crossing my fingers!!
Love all your things!!
I have been wanting to learn to sew for awhile now. This would be a great machine to have and hopefully find an outlet for some creativity!
Wow, this is an amazing giveaway! Thanks for the opportunity :)
Wow – what an incredible giveaway! My current machine is an old, old Singer, so it would be sweet to have an upgrade without giving up the solid metal frame.
Oooh…the epitome of a dream machine! My sewing room wouldn’t be complete without it.
WOW! What an amazing giveaway!!! Thank you! Congratulations on 1 year and here’s to many more!!! :D
Hi! I just love to sew as much as i love to bake and this machine would work perfect for me! Sandy
Um, totally want to win this!! Thanks Gussy!
Oh, how I love to sew!!!! Ruffled pants for my daughter, Halloween costumes or the next “must make” for the house!! But, my poor pathetic sewing machine that I received for my college graduation has died! :-( I would cherish a lovely new one to help with all of my projects!!!
How awesome! I’d love to add one to my sewing machine collection. :)
Wow! What a prize!
Yeow! Awesome!!
When I was a little girl, there was a raffle at school and my mother bought twenty tickets. We couldn’t afford it but neither could she afford clothes for four kids. When she won, she sewed all our clothes and our doll clothes too. Since then, sewing and Singer meant the same thing to me. Brother makes typewriters. Kenmore makes washers and Singer makes sewing machines.
Oh *squeal* with joy! and YEOWWW! This would be so awesome to win. My grandmother was a seamstress and I inherited her old Singers. This would be a fabulous upgrade!
Fabulous giveaway. You are awesome!
That is a most generous giveaway!!! Wow!
What an awesome giveaway! Congratulations on hitting the 1-year mark! :)
Oooo sewing machine :) so pretty
You are amazing and such an inspiration! Congrats on an awesomely successful year!

nrbird @ gmail.com
Wow – thanks for the chance to win!!
No Way! SO AWESOME!!!!!
Love It! It looks like such a great machine!
I am not sure if I entered your contest correctly or not…I HOPE I did!!! I seriously need a new sewing machine!!!!!!!!!!!!
ohhh my gosh, how amazing!!! this sounds like an awesome sewing machine… way better than the super basic one i have. i would be beyond thrilled to win this!!
oooooh, I would so love love to win a sewing machine!!
Always wanted to learn how to sew! Just missing the machine and my mom will teach me:) Would love to win! Thanks!
Wow! How inspiring! It’s wonderful to read of your success with sewing. I, too, am embarking on my own journey to make my living by sewing. So far I’ve only sewn on vintage sewing machines (all Singers from 1941 – 1963) and I can’t complain. They’re wonderful ol’ gals, but I’ve often wondered how it would be to sew on something newer.
Though what you do is very different from what I do, I am truly encouraged by your story. Thanks for sharing!
Love your story and enthusiasm Gussy! Dream big and never let anyone steal your dream! I sew, therefore I am.
i have been hinting at my husband that we need a second machine, so he can help me fill orders! he will deny it, but he did his share of sewing in his school age years (manly projects, only, of course – think gun case!). if i were to win one of these, he’d have *no* excuses!
congrats on one year of gussy. i bet it feels great!
jamie
man…..I have been using my mother n laws sewing machine as I try out all my new creations. I can not wait to own my own sewing machine one day. This will be a huge blessing to two amazing women. I will be incredibly happy for them! Thanks for having such an awesome heart Gussy!
I would love a sewing machine to give to my Mama who taught me to sew over the years and her current sewing machine (which was my Grandmother’s) keeps needing repairs. She would LOVE this and I would LOVE to give it to her! xo
This is amazing! I’m slowly working my way towards teaching myself to sew with a sewing machine. I’ve been looking into classes, but this would seriously help. Thank you!
I have always wanted a sewing machine!
i love to sew!! the problem is i have a cheap rickety sewing machine that breaks all the time!! i would love to win this prize!! steph at steffiessweetsinsations@gmail.com
Seriously fabulous giveaway! Maybe it’ll even get me to /really/ learn how to sew!
Such a wonderful story! Congrats! I would love to be able to make my children clothes and diapers on a machine like that, as we too are currently experiencing unemployment. I hope I am picked but if not its a wonderful story none the less!! :)
I would love, love, love this machine. I sew at home and have so much fun. This week my obsession are little boy bow ties. I figure if I keep entering these great contests, I will be a winner someday. :)
Oh, how I need a sewing machine upgrade! Your post is super informative too… thanks for including all of that info! *Pick me! Pick me!*
A new sewing machine… niiiiice! Pick me please :)
Oh. my. granny! a sewing machine?!! What a fun giveaway!
Congratulations on one year! Oh how the Lord provides … going “beyond beyond!” (Eph. 3:20)
Blessings!
For me its been 2 years since I was laid-off. It was a very scary time in my life. I didnt realize the depression that would come with that. Sewing brought me back to life and helped me find parts of me that I had been ignoring. Sewing allows me to be home with my boys and enjoy them while they are small. I am currently enrolled in Fashion school and I love every minute. I use to say, ,”THank God it’s Friday!” now I say, “OH no its Friday!” becasue I dont want my week to end.
What a giveaway! I’ve been working my basic Brother machine to the bone. A Singer would be the perfect upgrade (and how fun to have sister machines with blogging friends)!
I would love to have that sewing machine! I’ve been wanting to sew a quilt out of my old t-shirts for a while, but haven’t brought myself to by a sewing machine yet.
Oh what fun and what beautiful things could come from this machine!
I would so love to win this machine. I used to sew and would love to get back to it… especially since I just gave birth to my daughter :) Funds are tight so this giveaway is the perfect opportunity! *Fingers crossed* Thanks so much for the chance :) So exciting! And congratulations on one year!
Yeow, is right!!!!!! I would lovity, love, love a new fancy schmancy machine!
Congrats on your one year anniversary. What an awesome giveaway. I would love to be able to replace my older machines with a new one!!
I have really wanted to learn to sew and continue the tradition of both my sweet grandmothers. Thanks for such a great giveaway Maggie!
I really need to win one of these sewing machines!! Thanks for the fab weeks of giveaways:) sheshult@Hotmail.com
Oh my gosh! What a great giveaway!!!
OH. MY. WORD! I would love to win! Thanks so much for the chance!
OOOO, wow. Please enter me. Going to share this with my friends too even though I want to win this beautiful machine:)
Just found out about this website. It took courage to do what you did and I applaud you. I signed up or your newsletter.
Please pick me, I would love to learn how to sew!
Congratulations on your one year anniversary! Thanks for the awesome giveaway!!
I love your blog and I’d love to win one of these sewing machines!
Thanks!
Congrats on your “be my own boss” anniversary!
Everyday I’m bummed I didn’t win the last giveaway until I see what the giveaway is for that day. Everyday is better than the last one! Sewing machines…come on. Wow.
Congratulations on a great first year! This one would go to my grandmother… she lives alone and passes the time making school bags for children in Guatemala, but her ancient machine is way past it’s useful lifespan. She would never let me buy one for her, but if it was to happily land in my possession… that would be awesome. :)
How exciting!!! It’s been so much fun celebrating with you this week!!!
I need a new sewing machine in a bad way! I’m still sewing on the machine that got me through college. I was a fashion design major so my machine got a ton of use! It would be so nice to have a new one with all the bells and whistles
What an awesome giveaway! I would love to have a new sewing machine!
I’ve been borrowing my sister-in-law’s machine for almost a year now… I would LOVE to have a machine to call my very own!!
I have a Singer but I would love to give a new Singer to my sister who taught me how to sew. I learned to sew on her machine. Sadly, her machine is now broken beyond repair. If I win the Singer, I will give it to the most amazing woman I know — my sister!
I have been wanting a machine since moving to Texas. I left Alaska 3 years ago and had to leave so much behind. I have my fingers and toes crossed. This would be the perfect way to enjoy my birthday. Congrats on your One year, you are FABULOUS.
I would love to win! Congrats to a great year! xoxoxo
What a great giveaway! YEAH!
You sure did save the best for last! So exciting, hope I win.
I would love to win! Thats an awesome machine!
Wowza!! What a great and generoius giveaway! I would love love to delve into the world of sewing. I have always daydreamed about creating handmade items. I have never had the confidence or mentor to help me along. This would certainly give me the push! Thank Gus!
seriously awesome giveaway! seriously! and i love your sewing room! how inspiring – no wonder you create such amazing pieces : )
I’m terrified that I will be awful at sewing but I’ve ALWAYS wanted to learn. Hope I win this.
Oh…. wow…. You don’t know how much of a blessing this would be! My sewing machine broke (I sewed it into the ground :/ ) last summer… I’ve been trying to share with my mom ever since!!
Saying prayers!
xo,

You’re amazing! You know that?!
So cool!!! I started out with a Singer, and it will always be my first love! :)
Wow! What a giveaway! Congrats on your first year!
no freaking way. did i just say freaking? PLEASE.
I have always loved Singer machines, and mine is about 12 years old already. It would be nice to get a new one.
I squealed when I saw this. Yes squealed! I want to sew so badly. I have a list of projects I want to do…just need the sewing part :)
You are a beautiful sewer, this would be a great addition to my Ministry, Stitch of Hope. We sew fleece crosses that are taken on missions trips to Haiti, Nicaragua, China. I love what you are doing!!!!!
I would LOVE a sewing machine – are you kidding me?! This would be so great!
I would be SO excited to start my sewing journey on this machine! Thank you for such a great blog :)
YEOW for sure!!! What a great machine! I have a Singer Curvy but this would be a nice addition to my work space!!! Love, love, how you keep giving back Gussy!!! Many more years of success to you girl!
xoxo

What an incredible giveaway! About twice a week I tell my husband, I need a sewing machine! This would be so much easier if I had a sewing machine! My husband would thank you! Congratulations on one year…fabulous as always!!
OMGoodness, I am so excited about this giveaway because I have always wanted to learn how to sew. We are going to start trying to have babies soon and there are so many cute things I can make for them. It is endless what you can make! I am crossing my fingers. Thank you for doing this giveaway!

I know a few people that could use a good sewing machine.
Yes please :)

Thank you to you and Singer! :)

What a fabulous blog—and a fun chance to win this sewing machine makes it even better! Congrats on 1 year (to you), and good luck (to me)!! ;)
My 10 year old daughter and I are exploring the world of sewing and would love to have this to help :) Congrats again on all your success!!
I’ve been talking about learning to sew for two years now. I was just telling my 6 yr old son that I needed to buy a sewing machine yesterday. I actually tweeted it out. I have two patches that I need to sew on a vest for him, plus my curtains needs to be shortened. I think it is my destiny that I enter this contest….I hope I win!!!
Congratulations on your first year! You are amazing and your creation are so adorable:) I would love to win a new sewing machine!!! I’ve had mine for around 15 years now. A couple years ago my toddler decided to fill it with dirt from a near by plant! It was cleaned but it’s never been the same:s This givaway would sure help with my dreams of a creative life! Fingers crossed:)
Not only would I love this machine for my uniforms, my wife would love it for all the stuff she does, plus I would love to give her one of your zippered pouches. She really loves your blog/shop and so do I. Thank you for a great giveaway.

Would love to own my own sewing machine!!! This would be awesome!!! Can only imagine all the things I could learn. Love your giveaways!!! Karalie
I would love to win such a beautiful companion! Just having her would be motivation enough to start and finish all those projects that have been piling up. Thank you so much for the chance to win one! :D
Happy anniversary! I am just starting out sewing for my little boy using a borrowed machine from my mom. This would be an awesome jump start to my hobby :)
I’ve been really wanting to learn how to sew lately, so this would be awesome to win! Congrats on your first year!
Holy freaking WOW!!!!! 2 sewing machines. I SO hope I win one. Keeping my fingers crossed
Oh my gosh, having a Singer would be SO amazing. I was teaching myself how to sew on my Mother-in-Law’s Singer, but we just moved 3,000 miles away, so now it’s kinda hard. This would definitely be an amazing housewarming present.
Holy moly! I’ve been sewing on a machine that isn’t mine it’s my auntie’s and she wants it back! I wish I could win this pretty please fingers crossed I hope I win!!
I would love to win the machine. Mine is on the fritz.
Oh my gosh – this is amazing!!
I’d love to win a new machine- I have an older singer and this would be great!!!
This is a great giveaway, thank you for the chance!
Congratulations on a year! What a great giveaway (:
Gussy, you have really out done yourself ;) What a great why to end your celebration of one WHOLE year!!
Wow! That’s an awesome giveaway. My mom is still using her Singer from 1964-ish and it still does a great job. I’d love to have one of these newer ones!
Oh I want, want, WANT! :-)
Wow! Congrats to you on all of your accomplishments- you are such an inspiration. I would love to live a more creative lifestyle with my family. I hope I win!!! <3
This is AWESOME! :)
What a wonderful dream come true!! I also have dreamed of sewing since I was a little girl. My grandmother would do a few projects with me and I loved it! I have a lot to learn, don’t have a sewing machine and would love to win to start out a new chapter!
Well, of course I’ll enter! Who couldn’t used a reason to be more creative! : )
I need this!! I want this!!! Please call my name! I’d be forever grateful!!! :]
Thanks for the chance to win! Congrats on your first year of being in business for yourself :]
My daughter wants to sew, and this would be fantastic for her!
I’d love to have a metal bodied workhorse of a machine!
Congrats on such a fabulous year of success!!
Uhm. YES please. Pretty please? (Congrats on the 1 year!)
i just began sewing on paper and cards – i would love a good machine! thanks for the chance to win. You rock!!! xoxo
This? Would be amazing. My mom and I have been talking about starting a handmade business. She trains horses but has recently been diagnosed with six bulging discs in her back. She shouldn’t be on her feet as much as she is but they need to pay bills. Something like this would be amazing for us to maybe help her do something else.
This couldn’t have come at a better time! I am a stay at home mother of 5 and have been feeling super overwhelmed with life. There are so many things/projects I want to conquer. So many new things I want to try and I feel like life keeps me spinning in circles. It makes me want to cry! I love my babies and I think of the cutest little things that I want to sew my babies…ooh…the things that me and that ruffling foot could do :-)….let’s just say we. Would quickly achieve bff status REAL quick. There is something so special and a feeling that is undescribable when you great something with your own two hands!!! So I really hope I win! I want to unlock the possibilities and spend three lifetimes teaching my three girls how to sew and unlock their creativity. Thanks for being so creative and cute! I love your words and the happiness in them!
Oh wow, this would be SO awesome.
Congratulations on a very successful first year, and wishing you many more!
This is a great way to end your give-away week! I would love to win a new sewing machine!!
WOW! What an awesome giveaway! I could really use my own sewing machine right about now! *crossing my fingers until tomorrow ;)*
Holy guacamole I would sacrifice a pinky for such a sweet new sewing machine!!
This week has been quite the celebration! Congratulations on celebrating a year since quitting work. My “workhorse” of a sewing machine is nothing compared to this beauty.
I SEW need this machine!
WOW!!! SUCH a GREAT giveaway!!! :) WOULD LOVE to win this one!!
I would give this to my mom who is still using her sewing machine from the 1960’s and refuses to let me buy her a new one. But if I won one, she could not turn it down. Congrats on 1 year!
How awesome. I would love a new machine. I have told you this on Twitter, but you are such an inspiration! :)
Nik
Wow!! What an awesome giveaway! Thanks for the chance!

Keep stitching – – – – – – – –
~Kristen
I’m just beginning to start sewing. I don’t have a machine yet! I go over to my mother-in-laws and use her fancy one. It’s fun to do that as she hovers over me :-) but I’d love my own please!!!
this is an amazing giveaway – and so inspiring :)
Words can not described the excitement.
Thank you Gussy and Singer for an awesome opportunity!
wow! awesome giveaway! you’ve outdone yourself! I hope I win :)
congrats on your one year anniversary, too!
Happy Anniversary on your first year! I have been sewing since I was a little girl and
sadly my sewing machine is on its last leg, I’m now teaching my 8 year old, which
is so exciting. Thanks for the chance to dream of this often machine tonight!
Yay for new (and free!) sewing machines! Congrats on your one year anniversary of quitting your job!! Creativity rocks!
awesome!!
Oh, I need this so bad! My machine skips all the time and it’s getting really old! I have wanted a new one forever:) Please, please!!
This would be so amazing! I loved reading about your decision to become an entrepreneur — Happy Anniversary!
Congratulations on a successful first full time year!
This is a fabulous giveaway and I’d love to win one!

I already have this machine and love it…so why am I entering this contest???
My amazing sisters birthday is this week and I would love to win this for her. She has been my rock since our parents married in 1988. She is an amazing mother to Sonya, Mireya, Alayna and Ethan.

Congrats on all your success! So exciting to be able to quit the day job and work for yourself doing what you love. A happy story. Thanks for the HUGE giveaway! I would be blown away to win one of these awesome machines. Thanks!!
Oh man o man I would love to win one of those beauties! I have been in need of a new machine for a while! Thanks for the opportunity to win!
I have been dreaming about a sewing machine but sad to say we can’t afford to use any extra pennies on one just yet. I actually don’t know how to sew but keep dreaming of being able to make cute little aprons not only for my little girl but matching one for me! This would be beyond amazing Thanks for the chance.
Holy monkeys! I would LOVE to win a sewing machine. Learning to sew is on my to-do list for this summer during maternity leave. I do as much as I can with hand sewing and embroidery, but a machine would truly change my life.
Gasp! It would make my lifetime if I won… Oh gee… it would be the perfect day! Please oh please!
Pick me Pick me!!!! I always want to be crafty and would LOVE the chance to with a new sewing machine, since I don’t even have one now! lol
Just ordered my FIRST OF MANY Gussy products this week! I’d love to win this machine so maybe I could whip up something of my own! :)
LOVE YA GUSSY!
I would be so incredibly happy if I won this sewing machine! I have been wanting a good machine for a couple years now, but haven’t been able to afford one. I know how to sew and always have to wait to use my mom’s (who lives out of state which means I don’t get to use it often!). I love DIY projects, yet not having a machine puts my projects on a “want to-do list.” Sweet blessings to you and your success!
A brand new sewing machine?!? All to myself? And it didn’t come from Grandma or Auntie or the Flea Market? Oh, please pick me! I would LOVE to have my very own sewing machine! Yeee!
What a great giveaway!!! Thanks.
goodness gracious what an amazing giveaway!!! if i won, could you come with it and help me with that stinkin bobbin? (ha, i kid). congrats on your successful business! i found you through steph howell’s blog :)
Holy sewing machine batman. This is amazing!! It looks like it could run itself. :0)
I am relatively new to sewing, but have quickly fell in love with it. It is a such a creative outlet I keep dreaming up new project after new project.
I plan to have a few things to sell when the local animal rescue that I am a voluteer with, will all money going to help my furry friends.
I have been making little bed mats for the kitties in the rescue, and love that this machine has an embroidery feature. i would love to be able to embroider there bed mats to give these little orphans who have nothing and no one (except us volunteers) something that when they go to their forever homes can be taken with them.
I would love to do the same for our dogs, most of whom could really use something to call their own =)
This machine would make this sew (haha) easy, and I pray to be one of the lucky ones, and should I be I plan to pay it forward.

Oh my gosh, what a great giveaway! I’d love to learn how to sew – it’s on my bucket list!
I’m so glad my friend sent me to your blog! Your story is inspiring! Every day I wish I could do something that would allow more time at home AND bring in some income. I actually sewed for the first time EVER on this exact machine at a House Party a couple weeks ago. I was sooo scared, but it came out alright. This is a fancy, smooth machine…I would love to learn, my grandmother would be so proud!
Wow, great giveaway! I’ve only done a little sewing…but I’d love to learn more and this looks like a great machine!
yeowwwwww!!! Pick me plah-eeee-seeee! ;) What a fantastic giveaway! Thanks for a chance!

In your words YEOW how awesome would this be!?!!?!
Wow! You weren’t kidding, Guss! A great end to a great anniversary week! Congrats again! I would LOVE to be samesies with you and sew on a Singer Stylus. My Mom would love it if I continued to explore sewing. Fabric stores are yummy! Keep up the inspiring, great work you’re doing for your company and the handmade community. Did I mention I’d love to be samesies? =)
I LOVE Singer products & the Singer Confidence Stylist looks like it has a LOT of built in stitch options!
I really, really want to win!!!
Oh my goodness! What a FABULOUS giveaway! :) I have an older sewing machine (still in the box, though) and am taking a class to learn how to use it soon. What a wonderful thing it would be if I won one of these brand spanking new ones!

Well, my sewing knowledge goes about as far as simple hemming and quick fixes, but I would love to learn! Thanks for the awesome giveaway!
Count me in! What a great way to celebrate quitting your day job — and holy cats, HUGE KUDOS on that! It is on my list o’things to do! Fantastic! And, love your bags :-)
What an amazing giveaway! My very first “serious” sewing machine was a Singer. This new model would be wonderful to have! Love the review, very informative, and love the fact of the metal frame.
Now, this is a REALLY NICE giveaway!
This is so wonderful! I would absolutely love the chance to use this new sewing machine! I have often almost pitched mine out onto the front lawn…ask my husband, all truth in that statement! :) You are very talented and many congratulations on the one year of sewing bliss!
Oh my goodness!! I would think I’d died & gone to heaven to win this amazing machine. I have four little ones and just bought yards of fabric to sew summer dresses today…. not sure where to start!
Thanks for the fabulous opportunity!!

This Singer machine looks so fantastic and sturdy, and it would be something I would love to pass on to my little girl many years from now and hopefully future generations!!
This would be incredible!
this is really generous! thanks so much! how awesome!!
Congrats on following your dream. I don’t own a sewing machine, but love sewing and creating when I have the chance to borrow one from friends. I would love to own my own machine so I can create all the projects swimming around in my head.

Boy how generous! I could sure use this for my sewing school that I teach out of my home! Thanks for your great items, inspiration, and this awesome giveaway!!
With one daughter that wants to be a fashion designer and who already designs and sews at age 10 on her very own Singer sewing machine and a 13 year old that knows how to sew but shares a sewing machine with my mom, winning one of these would be a dream come true.

What a great giveaway! Love your sewing.

CONGRAULATIONS dear GUSSY on your ANNIVERSARY!!!!
Congratulations on all your success! I’m so happy I found your blog! You are an inspiration! I am actually just starting to sew. I’m hoping to learn to do it well, in which case I would use this to earn some $ for our adoption.
Congratulations on your anniversary – that’s very exciting!!! This machine would be right at home with me :) :) :) Thanks to you and Singer for the chance!!
This would be a DREAM come TRUE!!! What an amazing give away and gift to give. Congrats to your one year at GUSSY SEWS!
I would just be so blessed if I won one. My friend in Oklahoma sews and not only are we penpals and Susan Branch Pals but we could be Sewing pals too!!! = )
My mother was such a seamstress! She was born in 1918 & herself as well as her siblings all had to quit school at 16 years old to go to work, to help support the family. Mom worked as a seamstress in a factory called Reliance. That must have cultivated her love of sewing because she sewed all the christening gowns for all the babies in the family for many years, as well as sewed lots of shorts & pants & jackets & pajamas for the grandchildren. Some of the clothes mom made for me are now being worn by my grandchildren! I wish more people would sew today…. there would be a lot less clothing ending up in rag bags due to not holding up through the wear & tear.
Anyway, I’d love to win this sewing machine in honor of my mom, who passed in 2008 at the age of 90. Thank you for offering this giveaway.
~Andrea
xoxoxo

ACK how awesome is that! congrats on one year Gussy!
What an awesome giveaway!! Maybe if I win I’ll be able to sew like you ;)
I loved your line “While I couldn’t have imagined myself living “this life”, I also couldn’t be more thankful for a God that did and so graciously gave it to me.” What a true blessing to be able to do what you love – ask and He will provide. I’m so thankful every day to be a stay-at-home Mom – being with my girls is worth every dirty diaper, snotty nose, and missed “real job” promotion :) Congrats on the 1st Year!
Please, please, please…I would love a new sewing machine and gussy pouch :)
I so hope to win this. I’d love to be able to live a more creative life. Love. Congrats to you, Gussy!

I’m just starting my own business and would love to upgrade my machine!
Well, I could really use some lessons but I’d love to learn on a great machine!
What an awesome giveaway. I would love this.
I have been begging my grandma to teach me to sew for years, and she always says “you just need your own machine, every girl deserves to learn on her own machine.” This would truly make that dream come true :)
Wow! I could finally start making all those dressing I’ve been looking at!
Thanks for the great opportunity to win. Love your blog.
WOW! What an awesome giveaway! I absolutely LOVE your blog and LOVE your ruffles! Thanks for being so inspirational, you’re amazing!

Congrats on 1 year of hard work and super cute designs!! I love my gussy tote and get compliments on it all the time! I’ve got an old Singer that I piddle with, but what a treat it would be to have this awesome new machine! Thanks for the chance to win! :D
I am so in need of a new machine! I hope it works well for you. I will add this one to my research list.

OH, MY GOODNESS! This is a serious giveaway! Thank you for the chance to win! How exciting!!!
Oh my heavens to Betsy this is very exciting! I’ve wanted to learn to sew for soooo long this would be more than a wonderful gift for myself!!! Thanks for doing this for us!
This is sooo exciting!!! What a fun week of give aways!!!
Yeowwwwww!! I have wanted a sewing machine, but was intimidated about sewing. Thank you so much for this amazing give-away!
Tomorrow is my girl’s birthday and I would love to win this for her so she can learn to love to sew as well.
Love your “stuff”. Would love to have the new sewing machine. Thanks for hosting.
Awesome giveaway! Hope I win.
I’m flipping out about this! Please, Lord, let me win!
Congratulations! So awesome! It’s a sign of your success that Singer asked you to do this. :)
Amazing giveaway!! My sewing machine is okay, but I would love one of the Singers. My mom always had one growing up and it was what I learned to sew on.
Love your blog, I’m hooked. Great giveaway!!
Oh my gosh. I’m terrified of my sewing machine (the cheapest one Target sells) because it’s always getting tangled! I bet a machine upgrade (and some quality time reading the owner’s manual) would help with that! What an amazing giveaway Gussy!
What an amazing story! Congratulations on your success. I love and admire your work! It would be amazing to win such a fabulous sewing machine. Thank you for your inspiration and the opportunity.
Thanks for being brave enough to accomplish what I dream about constantly. It gives me hope that eventually I may be able get out from behind this desk everyday!
WONDERFUL!!! i could really use this :) but i need to learn to sew first……..
I want to learn to sew SOOOOO badly! This could really give me a reason to start ;)
YEOOOOWWW!!!!! What a fantastic giveaway. I love your site and your creations! Here’s to another fantastic year for Gussy Sews!
I would love, Love, LOVE to win a new Singer sewing machine. Mine is about 20 years old and everything is slowing breaking/not working on it and just when I’ve started taking sewing classes.
Love your blog and all your ruffles! You looked great in Emma’s newsletter this month! Thanks again!!
Wow!! Thanks for this amazing chance!!! :)
I’m DYING!!! I don’t have a machine & always have to borrow my moms. (I’m 38!) :) Would love, love, love to win this. Life changing. :)
I need a new machine badly – this would be wonderful!
Wow! What an insane giveaway! I can’t wait to find out who the winners will be, so exciting!
Congrats on your business! I’m dreaming of the same… :)
What an amazing giveaway!!! I’m just learning to sew, on my grandmother-in-laws old machine, and I’m thinking a new machine would make it all the more fun!
Congratulations on one year! SO cool!
what a great giveaway!! so exciting! :)
Look at what you’ve done in just ONE year! I noticed today that you have over 5K FB fans….you are making a big impact on the world from your little spot in MN. You’re honest, real, hardworking, inspiring, and are becoming a leader in the homemade world as well. And love God! I’m in awe!
I have an old machine that sews 2 light fabrics…but I can’t do crafts where there are different thicknesses of fabrics…which is where all the fun is. I think the Singer is a machine.for the crafter/creator. Thanks for the opportunity to win a new machine.
Fantastic gift and Iove your work and your blog!
I was just introduced to this exact machine at a Singer Sewing party last weekend. I had never used a sewing machine before and I learned how to thread and use it. I made a roll-up organizer – it’s super cute. I would love to actually have one of these machines to really learn to sew. I am so inspired!
a year already! i remember when Lindsay first showed me your “ruffles” and how impressed i was at your jump into the world of sewing. congrats and blessings for many years to come!
Oh, I have been slowly saving up for a sewing machine. I would LOVE to win this!!
Eek! I literally just squeeked! One of my New Year’s resolutions was to learn to sew!!! fingers and toes crossed big time!
I would LOVE to win a new machine! Thanks for the chance!
Oh my… I have been dreaming about a new sewing machine recently as my aging and very basic machine starts to give me trouble, and this machine looks amazing. It definitely warrants a yeowwwwww! :)
This giveaway is awesome…so Excited! I’m so happy for the ones who win it. And again Congrats on your 1 year anniversary.
My mom would love this! Such a great giveaway!
congratulations! I just stumbled upon your blog, but think it is awesome you pursued your dream!
oh, how I would love to win this. I can finally take “sewing machine” off my Christmas list. I think after 10 years, it’s about time. :-)
Reading your blog inspires me to get creative! :)
I am dying for a sewing machine! If I don’t get one now I’ll have to wait until Christmas. ;o)
If I WIN this, I’ll come and sew something pretty with you, Gussy! I’m a MN. gal, too! LOVE your blog and all of your work! jomoseley57(at)gmail(dot)com
I have to be honest and say that I’ve just started following you in the last 3 months or so but look forward to reading your blogs and browsing through your ADORABLE and breathtaking projects. You make me want to be a little more crafty each time I read your blog :-) Thanks for the inspiration and congrats on your 1st year as an entreprenuer. If you can make it through the 1st year you can make it through ANYTHING! –Kelly
Wow, this is a pretty awesome giveaway! I think this would be a great jump start to get me to learn how to sew : )
Congratulations! I love the laptop bag you made me in late 2009 and still receive so many compliments on it.
Wow! Great giveaway!! I’d love to replace my 30+ year old sewing machine that I inherited from my mom… it’s slowly and irrevocably aging, and can’t do everything I’d like it to do any more. Thanks for the chance!!
I want this new machine so bad to give to my daughter-in-law, who honored me with a request to teach her to sew. I have a new Singer machine that I love, I swear by Singer!
This could really help me jumpstart the sewing I so badly want to do! I am learning and I can’t wait to get a machine! :):):) Congratulations on your BIG milestone!
I would love to have this sewing machine, been wanting to get one for a while now! I’m a stay at home mom, and could do many crafts with this!
I would love to win
This would be an AMAZING giveaway to win!! What a celebration!!!! Thank you!!!!
wow, would this ever be a treat! i’m still sewing (if you can call it that, ha!) on the same machine i used to make barbie clothes on as a child… this thing may very well be older than me… wow… on another note – congrats on your 1 year anniversary! you rock! kristinmik at gmail
Okay, I’m in the 1100’s but I’m throwing my name in because my beloved Singer is working too hard and needs a sidekick! Keeping my fingers crossed.
wow, thats an amazing giveaway!! i’ve never had a sewing machine of my own so this would be great!
Your story is so inspiring! I love ruffles and your fabric choices are gorgeous. Thanks for the chance to win a new machine.
Oooh! I would LOVE this! Going to the store today to get fabric for my next sewing project. An upgrade to my current sewing machine would be DIVINE!! :)
Would love to win this my sewing mating is beginning to die would be great to win one!
Oh my goodness! That machine looks awesome! I love my very, very, very old Kenmore (older than me, in fact), but I’m afraid it’s on its last leg. In the likely event that I’m not one of the two lucky winners, I think I’ll have to pray it holds together until I can save up for this one!
That meant to say sewing machine not mating hah.
My sewing machine is itty bitty—I would LOVE to have a new one!
This is an awesome gift that your making possible for everyone out there…. The good ol metal framed Singers are awesome and will never do a person wrong… Thanks for the chance for this wonderful product!
Shannon Margaret

Wow, this would be such a treat. I hope I win. And Congrats on a year. That is such an accomplishment!

Wowsers. I would love a new machine that is a work horse. Pick me, please.
I got my sewing machine at a garage sale many, many years ago and don’t know how much longer it will last. I would be so blessed to get a new one! What a wonderful giveaway!!
This would be fabulous – I’m *trying* to learn to sew. I’d LOVE my own machine.
What a great giveaway! I’m sewing on the machine by mom bought second-hand when I was born. And I live in MN so I could come over for a quick lesson from you. :)
Exciting!!! I come from a few generations of innately talented seamstresses and have dreamed of exploring my inherited potential. This may just be the key. Wishing.
What an amazing giveaway! Congratulations on your success!

what an awesome machine and giveaway. i’m currently using a hand me down from my grandma which is great & served me well but I’d love to have THIS upgrade!!
WOO! I use a singer Sewing/Embroidery machine for my small biz and would just love, love, LOVE, this one… it would totally help with production. Great give-away and from one small biz owner to another, Congrats on your success and may you have many, many, more ‘birthdays’ to come! <3
Awesome giveaway!!! Love your site! You’re an inspiration.
YEOWWWWWW!!!!!! I’m awed at this giveaway! Would oh so love to have it. I’ve recently started making pillow dresses and have had difficulty with an old machine I found stashed at my mom’s. Would love to get this as it would be a breeze to sew these dresses.
My poor sewing machine still works, but not very well. I just don’t sew like I’d like to because when the bobbin gets low it COMPLETELY messes up the stitching. What a pain. See, I NEEEEEED one of these machines! Hee hee! Seriously, I’d really love one. Oh, the stuff I’d make! : )
Holy Cow! Sign me up :) Thanks for this Uh-MAZING giveaway!!
oh WOW! what a FANTASTIC giveaway!!! Would love to get my “sew-on” with one of these!!!
i would love to win the sewing machine. i keep wishing i had one to sew things like curtains…
oh how i would love a new sewing machine! fantastic giveaway!
In the words of my high school band instructor, Mr. Lien, “Hazzah!” What a fantastic giveaway to end (from this end) a fabulous first year of sewing full time!!!! So, “Hazzah Gussy!”
What an amazing giveaway, I am moving out of my Mom’s house next week and have to leave behind her Kenmore sewing machine :(
When it comes to contests I never win. However, I will say I have the Singer Futura SES1000 and absolutely love it. After not sewing for over 25 years, I bought the machine 2 years ago and let me tell you I have not had this much fun in a long, long, time. That machine is going all day every day. Winning this machine would make my sewing even more fun. To everyone out there, good luck, too!
SO exciting!!! I have wanted/needed a sewing machine forever! What a fabulous giveaway! I have taken a few sewing classes but you can’t really get better if you don’t have one of your own ;). Here’s to hoping I am one of luck 2!! Congrats on a fabulous year!
Congrats on your anniversary and thanks for such a fabulous giveaway! I would be thrilled to win. Yay!
Well it just keeps getting better here at GussySews! Thanks for such a wonderful giveaway and once again, congrats on a successful year!
This is a fabulous giveaway!!
But mostly your story is one of total inspiration for me!
I was laid off from work a few months back & have made the choice to make my crafting my full time job. I loved reading your story.
winning one of these machines would be a huge help in the success of my new business!
Good luck to everyone!
I want to learn to sew and I don’t have a machine! How awesome it would be to have a new Singer! Thank you for the chance to win one! :)
I really have been wanting to learn how to use a sewing maching and my sister-in-law’s just broke! This would be perfect for us to “share” since we live close…
Oh my goodness – I would be absolutely THIRLLED to win this giveaway! How amazing!!
I could use a new machine as I have not had one in a long time. Would be so exciting as I have a new great great niece to sew for now.
I would love a new machine! It would be the motivation I need to start sewing again. Thanks for a great giveaway!
I would absolutely love to win this giveaway! Thanks for the opportunity!
I could use a new machine (baby on the way needs some clothes!). This machine sounds like just the ticket! Congrats on one heck of a successful year!
what an amazing giveaway!!! Thanks for encouraging other people to take a leap and try sewing as well! :)
Ooohh!!! This is a good one! I’d love to win this machine as I’m just beginning to use my machine more and having a good one would be awesome! Thanks for the opportunity!
Yay! This giveaway is amazing!!! I would give it to my mom if I were to win, she wants a sewing machine to sew dresses on for my little girl, Maggie Claire! Happy biz anniversary week!
thank you for the great giveaway!
i need to teach my daughter to sew!
What a FAB giveaway! Congrats on your one year anniversary Gussy Girl!! :)
I have been praying about learning how to sew (again) and this would be a great addition to our family!!!
Wow, at the chance of getting lost in all these over-one-thousand comments, I’m jumping in with both feet! My poor, tired old sewing machine needs to retire, and what a better send-off for it than to have a new Singer!
Thanks for the chance!
A sewing machine has been on my wishlist forever and ever! When I first started my Etsy shop, I did handsewn stuffed animals in addition to art…it’s something I looooooooove creating but that whole each stitch by hand thing is time consuming! I would love to win so I could get back to that and maybe start doing some dollies too. Thanks for the giveaway…and congrats to the two lucky ducks that win!
I bought a sewing machine near the end of college and it has served me well over the past, um, few, years. :) But something a little heavier duty, like this one, would be wonderful to work with. And then I can let my daughters learn on the other one!
Would love to win…mine is broke:)
YEOWWWWWW! What an awesome giveaway!
How exciting! I would love to win one!
Blessings,
Rachel
Wow! Would love to win! ….over 1200 entries so far though, hmm…. I can still dream! :) Thanks for the chance!
Oh man…that baby puts my little Kenmore to shame! And automatic button holes sound heavenly :)
Congratulations on your one year anniversary!! What a fun giveaway! I would love to win!
Thank you so much for this giveaway opportunity. I love your tweets + blog a ton!!
How exciting and generous! Thanks so much! Would love a “real” machine again!
YEOW! What a fantastic giveaway! If I am lucky enough to win, this sewing machine will go to my wonderful grandmother whose sewing machine recently bit the dust.
What a fun contest! Good luck to all!
Pick Me, pretty please with a cherry on top. Thanks for the chance and for sharing your story.
Cha Cha
I sooo want to start sewing. Your blog inspires me! What better way to start than with a new machine!!
Oh how I would love to have a new sewing machine! What a lovely giveaway!!!
Congrats on your anniversary and you have a lovely story! So excited to be able to enter this contest ~ winning this machine would be over the top :)
Ooh! I hope I win. I have my grama’s old machine and while it is a workhorse it isn’t all that user friendly. She taught me how to quilt and I would love to do more but the only thing standing in the way is the ease of the machine.
YEOWWWWW!!
Happy 1 year Anniversary on following your dream. I have one of your headbands and it is so comfortable and stylish. I’m a middle school teacher and my female students have tried it on because they think it is so stylish. I want to teach the girls to use a machine so I am hoping to be lucky.
queenoftheclick at yahoo.com
First I want to say Thank you so much for the giveaway and congrats on your 1 year anniversary. Your story is inspirational thank you for sharing. I would love to win I have so many ideas in my head of what I can create with this sewing machine so exciting again, Thank you!!!
Happy, happy, happy anniversary week, Gussy! What a joy it’s been to watch your dream unfold over this past year (and before that)! I grew up with my mom sewing almost all of the clothes my brothers and wore, and I am trying to teach and nurture that same beautiful talent to myself. This sewing machine sure would help with that process. :) CONGRATS again and thank you for sharing so much of your beautiful optimism with us!
I love Singer sewing machines. My mom taught me to sew on hers that was given to her when she graduated from high school. Knave used other hand me down machines. But now I want a new one of my own. This could be my lucky day.
This is such a sweet and generous giveaway! Wow, I would LOVE to join :) Singer is my favorite brand of sewing machine and the most reliable in my opinion!
And congrats to you on quitting your day job — that’s just inspiring!
xoxo
Olivia
I want to learn how to sew, Gussy! Pick me! What a lovely giveaway, thank you for the opportunity.
I’d sure like a fancy sewing machine like that! I have a pile of mending to do! :)
Well, that’s kind of an awesome grand finale, no? I’d love a sewing machine. I currently sew using this little pretend sewing machine which is meant for little mends. I’ve gotten some cute rice pillows and a nice basket liner out of it, but I really need something designed for me to sew clothing and such with (I have so many patterns I want to try!). Even if I don’t win, thanks for the giveaways! So cool!
How wonderfully EXCITING!! I still am using the Kenmore machine that I was taught how to use on. I am so in need of a better machine with more stitches available! And what could be better than a SINGER?? I am crossing my fingers! Have a great day! Thanks!
oh gosh….i am SOOO in need of a new machine. i would weep with tears of joy.
p.s. you have the sunshiney-ist smile!!!! :)
I bought a super cheap machine to begin sewing and I gate it!! I would love a really nice machine since I’m sewing up a storm :)
eeee sewing machines! :) i’d finally be able to work on baby stuff without having to schedule time on my grandmas sewing machine :)
What a wonderful giveaway! Singer has always been my machine of choice; I fell in love with the old fashioned rocking foot pedal model that my mother inherited when I was a little girl, and I learned to sew on as soon as my feet would reach. I would be thrilled to win!
What a wonderful blessing it would be to win. Thanks for the awesome opportunity. Congrats.
Wow, what a great giveaway! Congrats on quitting your day job! That’s my dream as well. I have a basic Singer (and love it!) that I have started making and selling little girl’s clothing. This machine would be a great help! Thanks so much for the opportunity to enter this great contest!
Oooh! I would love a sewing machine of my own! I’ve been borrowing my mom’s and it would be nice to let her have hers back ;)
yeowwwwww YES! Thank you for the awesome giveaway! What could be better than a new sewing machine???
Wowza, what a great give=a=way! Thanks!
Oh My…but what a WONDERFUL Giveaway…seriously this is almost as exciting as watching your “hair-do video” (that has to be one of my favorite EVAH!!!…and I love that your dog was mis-behaving so… as MINE do all the time!!!). Thanks for the chance to win this AMAZING prize!!! And thanks for making your blog such a fun place to visit too!! Congrats on your anniversary!!
Oh yeowza!!!!! That’s a very big and greatest giveaway eva!!!! I would love to win this just because I’ve been debating since I got out of school if I should buy a sewing machine or share with my sissy-in-law (she loves to sew too!) Gussy, you are incredible and an inspiration to all!!! Much Love!! And congratulations again on making it through your 1st year!! :)
My sewing machine is 36 years old! I need a new one! Please and thank you! :-)
I’m so excited for you on your one year anniversary in the sewing/business world. Your story is encouraging and inspiring! Thanks for fun give-away this week!
Please please please pick me! I have a sewing machine but don’t like it so I never sew. I am teaching myself the trade, so I need to be sewing with a easy to use creative heavy duty machine. Please give me a Singer!! :-) thanks! xoP
Amazing giveaway! I have to be honest and say that I have never had my own!! :) Thanks!
oh wow how amazing! I want to learn to sew so, so (cheesy) badly!
Amazing giveaway. I have a singer embroidery machine and love it…would love to have a 2nd sewing machine so I wouldn’t have to convert (I know it only takes a minute to switch, but it would be awesome!).
oh, enter me!! i would love to do more “crafty” projects and this could be a great start : )
Oh WOW!!! What an amazing give away—and how cool would it be to know that I sew on the SAME machine that all the amazing bags are made on??? :-) :-) :-)
Wow, what an awesome giveaway! Congrats again on your one-year anniversary! :D
I have been lusting over sewing machines for a while now, but there are always “more important” things that money needs to go towards, like gas and food for kids – silly stuff like that. I would LOVE to win a machine and start sewing some super cool outfits for my little ones!
OH MY OH MY! How wonderful! Oh dream Oh wish!
what a great story! i’ve toyed with the idea of my own buisness but never had the courage to step out and take the plunge.
amazingly generous for the 5th day in a row. you’re amazing!!
OHHH!!!!! LOVELY! I currently have a Necchi, but to have a beautiful machine with all of those wonderful upgrades, and a serge stitch! I HOPE I WIN!!!!!!
a very awesome story. I hope also be able to live off what I love someday. And a sewing machine to replace my dead one would ROCK!!
Oh how I would love a big girl sewing machine! Thanks for the great giveaways and congrats on your one year!
Oh how I would love to have this machine. I love Singer Sewing Machines, currently own a simple singer with 70 stitch functions. This machine would benefit me starting my own quilting business! Good luck to all of us in need of a new machine!
Can I win twice? Is that too greedy?
I have to give it a try. I have a machine but it goes “kachunka, kachunka” so I can’t sew when my kids are sleeping…and it has this odd obsession with chewing up thread. What’s that about?
Congrats to you again!!!
Ummmmmmm, WOW! Please enter me! I promise, if I win, I will learn to use it & do you proud! ;)
What a fun way to celebrate! Congrats on your anniversary, and thanks so much for sharing with us!
I have to admit that I do not know how to sew, but it is definitely something on my bucket list that I have been wanting to learn to do for a long time! I remember liking it in my middle school “clothing” class but haven’t done it since. Winning this sewing machine would be a wonderful opportunity for me to take on a new adventure and make fun things for my home and my kids! Thanks for the wonderful giveaway!
Wow it’s been an awesome week of giveaways! Thanks!
Wow! What an awesome giveaway! I already have my own machine but I would love to win this one!
I don’t know you face to face, but I do know you through your blog and I’m so happy for you and this HUGE achievement! You’re an inspiration to so many. Thank you & keep up the great work.
oh oh oh…crossing fingers & toes! really….i need a machine with a metal frame. I understand now how much it is a MUST! Congrats on one beautiful ruffly year, Mags!
This is an awesome giveaway, thanks!
Looks like a really fun machine! Nice giveaway!
I have been asking for a sewing machine so I can learn how to sew – I would love to win this one!
My daughter would love it if I won something like this; she is new to sewing.
wow…I would LOVE THIS!! thanks for all the great giveaways this week, Gus!
I’ve been wanting to buy a sewing machine and have been researching sewing machines as of late! Would love to win one!!!! You are truly amazing at what you do!
This is amazing!!!! I have also left my job and I will be a full time stay at home mom. I used to love sewing with my mom as a kid and I have been yearning to re-learn so I can make those same memories with my kids. This would make it so much easier than the old machine my mom still uses!!!
This would be lovely!!! I love my Singer Simple, but I have far outgrown it!
this is an INCREDIBLE giveaway! :) Wow wow wow!
This would be a wonderful gift!!!!!! I would love to win but if I don’t I hope whom ever gets it will enjoy it.
Blessings, Lori
Wow, how amazing! I have my mom’s machine here currently and I am sure she would love to have it back! I am moving into a new house in 4 weeks, I’d LOVE my own machine so I can decorate!!
how wonderful!!
Please enter me into the contest! I was blessed to find a used Singer over 25 years old at the Salvation Army, but I’d like to be able to get a better handle on my craft and ezine projects with a well-working machine.
This is an amazing giveaway!!!
I am so excited!
Yeowwwwww!!! Awesome!
congrats on your anniversary! I would LOVE a new machine. Awesome giveaway.
Wow. My wife would LOVE a new machine.
OH my gosh I’ve been wanting a sewing machine FOREVER and this looks like an amazing brand! I want to start making my 3 boys clothes and there are so many cute projects out there! Wonderful giveaway!
Holy malala!! What an AMAZING gift!! Thanks Gussy and Singer!!!
a dream of mine to own a sewing machine!
Wowzers! What an awesome giveaway!
Congratulations on your success. I am inspired by your post on how it started. I want to but I just haven’t made that leap. I feel I’m close. I just have to find an ORIGINAL idea! Ahhhhhh. Anyways, I am an amatuer sewer and this would be an awesome prize to win. Thanks.
Would love to win a sewing machine since I’m learning to sew this spring and summer!
I deff agree the beauty in knowing how to sew is the unlimited possibilies it gives one! Since I have learned to sew I have not stopped with challenging myself… And everytime I do something harder then the last, there is a sense of great acomplishment. Like reaching a new height or level! <3
I came across your website by accident and it really inspires me creatively. I love how you took something that is perceived to be a misfortune and made it an opportunity! Please enter me into the giveaway contest. Thanks!
This is an amazing giveaway! I love my little Elnita that’s just as old as I am that my mom gave me when she upgraded, but it’s definitely seen better days and just doesn’t have a lot of the capabilities I’d like. Fingers crossed! :)
I have been following your blog from the start and couldn’t be more proud that you quit your your ‘day job!’ You are very deserving of all of the graces you have received-you’ve worked hard, belived in yourself and made those dreams come true!
I need a sewing machine badly! I thought if I bought a ‘no name’ machine that it would work just as good as anyother expensive machine. Boy-oh-Boy was I mistaken! I tried to sew a straight line on my new machine and it had ate one end and it wasn’t straight! I took it to the sewing machine dr. to learn it had been dropped and would never sew a straight line(okay, I may be turning things inside out but it needs to be straight!) So I asked about it eating my fabric and she said it was the feed:( I know it loves fabric as much as the next person but c’mon fabric isn’t cheap!! So I use the machine only as a decoration in my room(to let people think I am sewing until I can afford a new one).
I bought my first sewing machine so I could sew baby clothes. My son was a preemie and he came very unexpected so when it came time for clothes I had none! I would love to make items to donate to the NICU!
Thanks for the opportunity and congrats on quitting your day job!!!
I want to WIN!!!! :)
How exciting, yeow is right!!!

What a wonderful giveaway!
I have always loved Singers, my Grandmother had one, my Mom had one, and my Aunt have gave me her first Singer years ago, I would love to have a new machine with some more of the bells and whistles!
it’s my gfs bday. she’d love one!
What a very generous give away.
I have had my cheap Singer for over 12 years & its a champ! This one looks MUCH nicer than mine…haha
I bought my sewing machine when my baby was a baby, truly. She is now 27. I still sew and would really really love a new machine. One day I hope to sew for grandbabies.
Could really use an update from my Singer Simple! Congratulations on one year! Praying you have many more!
This giveaway is unbelievable!! It is a blessing to be able to enter to win such a great gift!! I have a singer embroidery machine and I would not have anything else!!!! Thanks for the opportunity!! I am definitely in!!!
also, this is cooler than what I got her
I am definitely IN! :) What an awesome giveaway!!!
What a wonderful giveaway! I’ve quickly outgrown the basic machine I bought a couple of years ago to learn on to the point where I just don’t use it much anymore. I’d love to upgrade to something like this!
Oh my, I have my sewing machine that my parents gave me when I was in high school…and I graduated in 1971! So OK, I tipped my age hand…but I could certainly use a new machine!!! Good luck to all of us and CONGRATULATIONS on your “quitting your day job” anniversary! I will be eagerly awaiting the announcement of the winners! Blessings and peace!
Marilyn
WOW…what a wonderful giveaway!
My daughter has just moved into her first apartment and has been asking me for a sewing machine, but they are a little pricey and i just can’t afford it right now. I’d luv to win this for her, thanks!
If there is one thing I need (aside from an actual sewing machine!), it’s more confidence that I can make my business dream come true. I’ve been taking classes and reading books and talking to my supportive and helpful coworking friend Amy (go Two Scissors go). I’m all primed and pumped to start this adventure and have quickly grown fond of fabric (more please) and the sewing process! Happy to have found this craft.
Count me in count me in count me in!!
Wow! I sure would love to be one of the lucky winners!
Hi Gussy! :)
LOVE sewing but really need a new machine. Would also like the opportunity to be more creative and would love to be able to teach my daughter.
What a fantastic giveaway. Thank you Gussy and Singer! :)
I cannot even tell you what this would mean to have a sewing machine. I don’t know how to use it, but I would learn, quickly. My son is autistic and there are so many therapy things (weighted vest, tent, sensory pillows) that I could MAKE for him if I had sewing machine (not that I couldn’t do it by hand but I’d like them done before he graduates high school – he’s in preschool btw) because buying these items is absolutely insanely expensive! Plus the Halloween costumes I’d be able to make (I LOVE be extravagant at Halloween), or like you said, just gussy up my house. Help make it LOOK like a home. Seriously, almost in tears here because this is so exciting. anyway. :)
SOOOOO exciting! :)
That machine looks so sturdy. I would to have a machine with a drop in bobbin. I love to sew for my daughter. I would love to win!!!
fun fun fun!
I feel as though I want to learn to sew now. For real sew, not pretend sew where sometimes I leave the pins in stuff.
Would L-O-V-E this machine! Super excited about this giveaway!
Whoo-hoo! So happy you have been able to do this for a year :-) Congratulations!
SEW great!
I LOVE singers!! What a fantastic giveaway! Congratulations on 1 year!!!
gah, Gussy you are AMAZING!! you inspire me daily & i am so happy for you for quitting your job & doing Gussy full-time!!
i love you and your ruffles!! :D
Wpw! Would that be a fun machine to win! Then I could sew like Gussy (or at least “try” to sew like Gussy!
Count me in for this fantastic giveaway!!

What a fabulous reason to celebrate! Love your site! So thankful to Xtophy for the recommendation!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!
I would love to win this. I have an old sewing machine but my little dream is to become a boutique/online owner too. I think this would give me the incentive to really make it happen. I’m crossing my fingers to win. Oh, what a wonderful gift! Happy Birthday week Gussy. You are adorable!!!!

Wow! What a great giveaway! Thanks for hosting :)
Would LOVE to win this as a gift for my mother who works oh-so hard to provide for us!
For reals…a Singer sewing machine???? Double wowza…very generous of Singer!!!!
I would love a second machine so that I could be more productive in my sewing time…which is very limited. If I had a second machine maybe my sis and I could sew together while our daughters napped! hmmmm wishful thinking perhaps on that idea.
Anyways would love to win….oh and Gussy HAPPY ANNIVERSARY! YOU ROCK:)

I could definitely use one of these sewing machines!!! I’m interested in making pillows (indoor and outdoor), altering clothes, and maybe trying my hand at some furniture upholstery!! Thanks for such a great giveaway and congrats on everything!!
To win this lovely machine would be a blessing…oh, and the pouch, too!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

third, i would keep the medium pouch for myself because i have wanted a Gussy for so long. (and even if i dont win, one day, i will have a Gussy!!!)
last, thanks so much for the opportunity! Maggie makes me smile :)
And to think I’ve been planning on trying to pack mine (little and old) into a suitcase and bring it back from TN to AZ! (Poor little thing hasn’t had much use since I packed up my car and moved out West.) Would love to win this pretty little pup instead :)
I’m new to your site, but my daughter Amanda (Magda Row blog) is friends with you and talks about you. :) I would love to win a sewing machine also and have already been talking with her about getting one for myself. Thanks for the opportunity and congratulations on your 1 year anniversary!! ~Judy

…and how cool would it be to win that awesome sewing machine?! Well, obviously YOU know!! I hope I will too! :) *wink wink*
I love your website you are so creative, every since I came across your site, I have taken out my brother sewing machine and started sewing up girly stuff for me and my grand-daughter. I have all boys so sewing for a girl is so much fun. The more I sew the more I come to love the craft. Congratulations on your one year anniversary and thanks for the inspiration.
Thank you for this great post! I would love to have the chance to sew on this machine! I love making clothes for my two small daughters.
Oh. My. Word. This is an amazing giveaway! I so desperately need a new sewing machine but sadly we aren’t able to work it into our budget right now. Thanks for the chance to win one of these lovelies! :D
I want to win!!! This would be the best machine!~~
hallielouwho@gmail.com
I can’t believe I didn’t see this earlier today! *sobs uncontrollably*
Before I short out my keyboard, I just want to say congrats :)
I would love to win a machine!
My “workhorse” sewing machine has seen a lot of seams — but I’d sure love to win a new electronic Singer!
LOVE your blog and your products. I also am a sewer and a quilter as well as my 11 yearols daughter. She sews lap quilts for nursing home residents who do not have family members. All together I am sore we have made at least 100 quilts. We have also started sewing for children in Haiti as a mission group with my mom. We sew on old Singer’s but we would throughly enjoy one that is new and easier to use.All the new add on’s that this machine has would aide in our projects to rebuild postive connections to people all over the world. PLUS, we could look girly and rufflely.
Thank you for a chance to win this marvelous machine and sharing your God given talents. Your talent gives me desires to accomplish more and sew more.March of 2010 I had colostomy surgery, boy how that has changed my life. The need to sew clothes that hides the bag is always on my mind and trying to stay positive. I have several custom made items that I have made but a machine of this caliber would make a world of difference to my needs.
Again, Gussy Sews is doing great things
Blessings,
Melba Lassy
awesome giveaway!!
