Gussy Sews Giveaway

**This giveaway is now CLOSED** 

I am so excited to share with you this week’s giveaway.  Have you heard of Gussy Sews?  Well, I have always admired her hand-sewn products.  I have had my eye on her adorable lap top bags.  Aren’t they so cute?  So imagine my surprise when Gussy contacted me about doing a giveaway for her!  Yes…Please!

Get to know a little bit about Gussy in her own words:

“Helloooo! My name is Gussy. I sew ruffles and share my adventures of having a handmade biz on my blog. I live in Minneapolis with my husband Zack and puppy Bauer. Just over 2 years ago my husband and I were living near Detroit. We had recently moved there and I was looking for a creative way to spend my evenings when Zack had to work late.

I decided to teach myself how to sew with the help of many library books. Shortly after moving to Detroit, we BOTH lost our jobs. Later that year we moved to Minneapolis, which is where we currently live. My business is my passion. I love that I’m able to share our story of unemployment, my story of an indie biz owner, and YOUR story of handmade goodness. I love to support other handmade shop owners… it’s a true delight.
