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! :)
Oh my goodness I love that you are doing this giveaway!!!! Its everything I have been hoping for and more!!! Please pick me!!!!!! I have been looking at sewing machines for about a year now and LOVE this machine!!!!!

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! :)

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!!!

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! : )

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!
