Gussy Sews- Ruffled accessories

Oh I am soooooo excited to tell you about Maggie and her fabulous ruffled accessories! And I wanted to share this shop with you because tomorrow she is having a huge giveaway! so read on for more details. I'm not going to summarize Maggie, she does a great job of explaining her, her shop and passion. So in her own words here is "about" Maggie and Gussy Sews:

I'll be honest with you: I've never taken a formal sewing class and I talk a lot. Not the annoying "talk a lot," more so the kind where if you have time I'd sit with you for hours and chat as we get to know each other.I checked out about 30 library books and each night would read through a few. Some books were amazing and just my style of learning. Others, not so much. But that’s OK! I felt it was important to focus on my learning style, especially because it’s hard to see how to thread a sewing machine when you’re LOOKING at a piece of paper. {Dear YouTube, thank you for existing…}

I had zero experience when I started {is that OK to admit out loud?!}, but I had a determined spirit and a big heart for the trade.

I continued to learn the trade and soon enough found myself with ruffled accessories that I tagged "Gussy".
I was putting in about 80 hours of work each week as I sewed in the evenings and on weekends. Week-by-week I was building up my blog and finding my way in the handmade community. A few months later, in February 2010, I attended Blissom and seriously, it pushed my business in a new direction. 

came home from the weekend-long conference and shared everything with Zack. We both knew it was time to pursue Gussy on a more full-time level, so started saving our money so I could quit my day job. In about 8 weeks we saved nearly 3 months of my salary. YEOW!

I quit my day job -- May 17, 2010 is a day I'll always be celebrating. I love what I've learned, the people that I've met, and that I have been blessed to find my passion in life at such a young age.

I love Maggie's creativity and her honesty. Now that you are in Love with Maggie, get ready to fall in love with Gussy:
