This giveaway is now closed.

YEOW! ~ it’s been a little bit since I hosted a giveaway to my shop, but today is your lucky day as there will be THREE unique winners. I’m working with The Nester on this giveaway, so thanks to everyone who has come over from Nesting Place ;]

lavender dot wristlet/clutch

This month marks my 3-year anniversary of learning how to sew ~ it’s incredible to think back at my journey and see where I started // where I am now :] A few years ago I had found Etsy and I loved that girls my age knew how to sew and managed their very own online boutique. I wanted to learn the trade, too so I went to the library and checked out 30 books {seriously, I brought a laundry basket with me}, watched dozens of YouTube videos — viola! welcome to the Gussy Sews shop. The “detailed” version of my story is written here ;]

    Okay, I’ll subscribe! (The timing is great on this, because you’ve just hit my radar with all your activity in the Relevant twitterverse this past weekend. I’m delighted to have found you!)

  15. lisa tanner says

    Well, I’m not sure I can pick just one thing I like – I love the headbands (houndstooth is my fave) and I love the kindle bags, but maybe the tote bag – charcoal dot would be my number one pick. OH but i like the houndstooth camera strap with the pink ruffle. It’s too hard to pick just ONE THING!! :D Thanks for the chance to win!

  36. Jessica T says

    I love teh Sky Blue Polka Dot wristlet/clutch. It would work great in the diaper bag I already have and LOVE!

  38. Kim Beenhardt says

    I have to say I love the wristlet/clutch. Small enough to toss into a large bag and big enough to stand alone.

  47. Page says

    I’m loving the new lavender dot print! But I’m definitely a sucker for the charcoal dot market tote. I’ve been eyeing it for a while :)

  63. Kristin Smith says

    My favorite item is the grey charcoal dot market tote with the hot pink ruffle…I also would love to see you bring back the black and white damask pattern (swoon!) :)

    Happy 3 yr anniversary! One of these days I am going to actually try and use the machine that my MIL gave me! :)

  64. Jane says

    Wow, what an exciting anniversary! I was just thinking that this time last year I was stumbling through making my first listings on Etsy. It’s amazing how much can change in a year or two’s time.

    My favorite is the Cotton Candy tote!!

  75. aubrey says

    okay you are making me feel all pressured to pick something ;) I think today my favorite would be your market fresh tote. But tomorrow I might tell you something different ;)
    Congrats on three!!!!!!

  84. Nadir@StitchSense says

    I’m in LOVE with the vaycay tote & pouch :-) Thanks for having this great giveaway!

  102. Alison says

    I love the polka dot, striped & houndstooth headbands. And yes, I would totally spend my whole shop credit on cute headbands :)

  106. Kelly says

    You want me to only pick ONE favorite! I don’t think I can pick just one. I guess if I had to pick just one I would go with the Green twist diaper/wipe wristlet, but I also love the cotton candy tote/diaper bag and the polka dot headband!! Congrats on 3 AMAZING years!! You are an inspiration to so many…way to go gussy!

  111. Alle says

    Woo to the hoo! This is awesome! Favorite piece from the shop…awww, c’mon – I can’t pick just one! Well, I guess in this moment the fave would have to be the Market Tote.

  116. Chelsea says

    And I follow your blog on Google Reader :)

    P.S.
    We used to have a dog (Maddie aka Maddog) that looked just like Bauer! (Only she was about 70 lbs.) She was the sweetest, most loyal dog and I miss her so much. She even walked down the aisle on my wedding day. :)

  117. Allison says

    I have so many favorites!!! :) But I guess my FAVORITE would be the totes. I have one on order and can’t wait to get it.

  122. Alle says

    I subscribe to GussySews in my Google Reader – need that dose of ruffly goodness each day!

    (P.S. It was so great to finally hug you IRL and hear that sweet laugh of yours! Hope God uses all you learned at Relevant to His glory and to grow you closer to Him, sweet sister!)

  141. Heather says

    I’m loving the berry dot zippered pouch and the garden fresh market tote!
    Already a blog and twitter follower :)

  146. Diana says

    I love the lavender dot wristlet! And the berry dot zipped pouch, and any of the market totes….

  158. Lisa says

    grey whisper market tote…*sigh* and the itty bitty flowers headband. Now that I’ve chopped my hair, I’m loving unique headbands to wear!

  180. Kate says

    I have your two of your totes – one vacay and one diaper bag and a diaper wristlet. Love them all. I’d love to get a market tote or a couple of smaller pouches for organization now! Great giveaways!

  185. Elisabeth says

    My current favorite item in your shop (because I already have several of my old favorites!) is the charcoal dot tote…with a mustard ruffle! Can’t get enough gray and yellow these days!

  201. Megan says

    I’m lovin’ your yellow lotus line. I love me a little splash of orange and turquoise! Also think it’s high time that I get a cute camera strap. Thanks for the giveaway! Crossing my fingers…

  218. Alicia says

    One of my favorite products is the tangerine dot and turquoise tote bag….although I really like all of your bags!

  228. Lynn says

    It is hard to find just one thing I like. The green twist diaper/wristlet is great! I also love the tangerine dot and turquoise bag.

  230. Chellsea M says

    I have had the Gray Whisper tote-bag w/ Yellow Ruffle on my wishlist for quite sometime. As much as I want to believe that my husband has even glanced at my Pintrest Wish List board, I’m a realist at heart.

  236. sarah says

    i would love to get my sister a kindle case for christmas with this giveaway. it’s too hard to pick just one thing i love most about your shop!

  260. Kirsten says

    keep coming back to the Daniella vacay tote – SO SO SO pretty! [like all the other vacay totes and oh, just about EVERYthing else in your shop]

  264. Kirsten says

    I’ve liked you on Facebook for a LONG time!
    p.s. I just discovered that I’ve been typing my blog name in wrong in pretty much every comment I’ve ever left one here – oops!

  271. Meg says

    My favorite item has to be the nesting pouches! I love how they organize my diaper bag. (The big one is for babhy clothes, the middle one has first aide things, and the smallest one is home to my phone & ipod touch).

  298. Georgia says

    How fun!!! I’ve had my eyes on a garden fresh tote bag, a kindle cover, and maybe even a vacay tote!

  319. Valeen says

    I’m having twins in February, little girls, and I’m so in love in with your charcoal dot diaper bag. I have seen them on The Smiths blog before and have been waiting to buy one. This would be perfect timing!

    I’ve also liked your page on facebook.

    Thanks!

  324. Deb says

    It’s the charcoal dot tote for me. But my girls are hoping for a little Gussy in their Christmas stockings. :)

  327. Rebecca says

    What a great givewaway!!! I am currently in love with your charcoal dot diaper bag as I am expecting a wee one in March and think that it would be roomy enough to carry stuff for the new little one as well as my other two boys.

  337. Lindsey says

    I absolutely love the charcoal dot tote bag! Add a pink ruffle and it would make the most perfect diaper bag for my little girl arriving in February!

  351. Ashley says

    I love the totes and the sweet home Alabama Diaper clutch….doing the rest of the stuff ..to enter

  353. Julie says

    My favorite item is your cotton candy market tote. I use it every Sunday to carry all of my sunday school teaching materials. It works perfectly. I get lots of compliments too.

  356. Lisa S. says

    I love your totes! Though it wouldn’t hold any diapers, your diaper bag tote is the perfect size for holding lots of other stuff, not to mention that it would look way cuter in that than my current re-usable shopping bags! :-)

  362. Lola P says

    It is hard just to pick one :( well i really like the lavender dot wristle/cluth is so pretty :) :) :) :)

  373. Kristen Buley says

    I <3 the tangerine dot with blue & sky blue dot with orange creations. I love the orange and blue match-up and am especially eyeing the ipad case, since I hope to be getting on in the next month!

  375. Brooke says

    My favorite item in your shop right now is the black and white houndstooth camera strap with the pink ruffle. I love it!

  398. Amber says

    Your ruffled camera straps are so great! I just received my first nice camera this year and would be so appreciative to have a stylin’ strap.

  400. ginny says

    I love the tangerine dot camera strap! If I won, I’d get that for myself and another strap for my sil who just got a new camera.

  404. Leonora says

    that charcoal dot headband is my fave AND will soon be the owner of it! ! ! ! ! I took advantage of the Belle Chic deal and nabbed 2 of your headbands (even though I only have one head–that is how much I heart them) <3 <3 <3

  411. Tami says

    Favorite?? The totes, pouches, headbands… hard to pick a favorite. You have beautiful taste and make beautiful things. Thanks for the giveaway!

  450. Angie H. says

    I love the new color combinations…the lavender and berry dot. My favorite item is the Tangerine Dot Market Tote. Love it all!

  470. missy says

    Charcoal Dot Tote Bag is hands down ONE of my favorites. LOL It really is just hard to pick one item as a fave.

    hugs
    -missy-

  472. Jess says

    Love all of your tangerine and turquoise products — my favorite colors this year!
    Also loved the gray damask tote you once had…my first Gussy crush. :)

  492. Kiley says

    If I won I would defiantly get a market tote. I’m pretty sure I like the charcoal dot tote bag the best. lovveeee the cute fabrics.

  519. Lorraine says

    my fave thing in your shop is everything ;) ….especially the lavender dot makeup bag! i love dots :)

  530. Blanca says

    I LOVE everything in your shop! The berry dot zipped pouch (small) is great! The orange and turqiouse items are favs because turqoiuse is my fav color. Thank you!!! :)

  535. shana says

    picking a favorite is so hard :: i love the totes, but i also love the camera strap covers or a little zippered pouch. your stuff is wonderful. it’s amazing to me that you only learned to sew a few years ago. i want to learn how to sew . . . maybe we could be friends and you could teach me? sound good? we live in the same general area, so it could work. however, i have 6 kids and approximately 87 seconds of free time each day, so finding time to fit it in might be a tad challenging. thanks for the great giveaway. chances are good i won’t be the lucky winner, but i would be thrilled if i were!
    blessings,
    shana

  541. Kandra says

    The Charcoal Dot Market Tote is one of my favorites, but I’m finding many, many lovely things! You are an inspiration!

  544. Sarah Alcantara says

    I would use the gift certificate to get the small berry dot small pouch (so cute!) the black and white houndstooth with turquoise ruffle camera strap ( i just got a new camera and this would look so cute!) and I also love the charcoal dot headband! everything in your shop is so pretty!

  548. Allison C says

    I think I would go with the charcoal dot market tote or one of the oh so fun headbands!! I may have to have a camera strap too!! See, I really need to win :)

  550. Amber L says

    My fave item is the black and white houndstooth camera strap cover in pink ruffles! I sooo need one of these babies!!

  585. Christy Stout says

    I love the diaper wrist things….so much fun!!!! I am also in love with the lap top bags…it’s going on my wish list for this year since I just got a new computer :]

  589. Stac says

    I love everything, but those headbands would just make my collection complete! I just chopped my hair into a pixie cut and they would look sooooo cute in my hair!!!

  614. Sara Wise says

    I LOVE your market totes, every single stinkin pattern, they are soooo cute! Plus any of your accessory holders/make up bags…I just cant chose one!!
