A bit about my sewing journey, and 3 Gussy winners.

I started sewing 5 years ago this month (how crazy is that?), and whenever I think back on the journey we’ve been on I get goosebumps. It really is amazing to see how everything has unfolded, all the challenges we’ve survived and the things we’ve learned. Zack and I have lived in a few different states: Michigan, Minnesota and now California since we got married/I learned how to sew. We’ve endured unemployment within the first year of marriage (both of us) and that’s when I gained a lot of momentum with my Gussy shop. Over the years I’ve designed new products and modified our best sellers. We’ve had many hard months — moments that have stretched us for the better and helped to shape us into the business owners and parents and spouses we are today.

My handmade story is one I hold close to my heart. It’s personal and has presented me with opportunities that have truly changed my life. It’s really amazing to be able to give products away, it’s actually one of the funner (wink) moments of being the boss.

Yesterday morning I posted a quick giveaway over on Instagram. Are you following my journey over on IG? In my post I asked you to tag a friend and then share how you would use one of our large zip pouches, and what an amazing response you left! My goodness…

The winners of the large zip pouches are: @abbeysparkles, @basicallyjulie, @krummcake — yeow!

Email me (gussy AT gussysews DOT com) with your large zip pouch selection and your mailing address and we’ll get your Gussy in the mail! Thank you to everyone who entered, and congratulations to the winners.
