This giveaway is now closed.
I was bold last week — real bold!, and I cut up a vintage house coat that I had kept around for about 2.5 years now. Soon after I learned how to sew my aunt gave me a few house coats that I’m sure belonged to a sweet Grammy. BUT, these upcycled items are not your Grammy’s ;]
Once I had these coats in my hands I knew they’d be so cute as an upcycled Gussy item, and I feel like I knew what I wanted to turn them into {even though I was afraid to start cutting, for fear that I’d mess them up}. But guess what? I was way WRONG! :]
With just one house coat I was able to make 7 clutches & 3 medium zipped pouches. The outside print has a little texture to it and the inside print — a lite green polka dot, has stolen my heart ♥
THE C L U T C H is amazing and can hold so much! A wallet, iPhone, sunglasses, lip-gloss, keys ~ maybe a pack of Bubble Gum? Click here to see the rest of our clutches.
THE M E D. Z I P. P O U C H can be used so many different ways, but my favorite are to hold business cards, to carry my lip-glosses {tee hehe} and to house my sunglasses. Click here to see all of our medium zipped pouches.
Now here’s the fun part, a surprise G I V E A W A Y! Leave a comment below to enter to win one of our Not Your Grammy’s clutches, a $29 value! {open to the US only}
For extra entries, “like” us on Facebook, follow me on Twitter, OR share the giveaway via twitter {@gussysews} // facebook // your blog. Make sure you leave a comment below for each thing you do.
I’ll close the giveaway in a few days ~ good luck!
PS. Thank you, thank you for the constant referrals to my shop. I appreciate your love!!! Thank you again :]
