Filed Under: 31 days, blog & handmade advice

Day 17// The entire time I’ve been running the Gussy Sews blog + shop I’ve used email to help me network with other bloggers, crafters + like-minded women. Four years ago it acted as my second paddle — no, more as my lifeline — as I was so new to the blogging community. I hadn’t… [Read More]

Day 16// About this time four years ago I had just found Etsy and the idea of women my age knowing how to sew, run a handmade business AND make a living fascinated me.
