Hi there! I’m Gussy, and I absolutely adore sewing ruffles on accessories.
My husband and I live in Minneapolis. Last Christmas I remember seeing the downtown Macy’s window display full of ruffles — my heart skipped a beat. Ruffles feel essential to me; I just can’t get enough.
I dream of expanding my line of ruffled creations, though I worry that once I start adding ruffles everywhere I won’t be able to stop. For now I enjoy celebrating the ruffle work of others and collecting inspiring examples.
From time to time I save photos and projects that are gloriously ruffle-ized. Here are my top favorites that inspire me and keep my creative energy flowing.

Sew pretty!

Speaking of my sewing journey — November 2010 is a milestone for two reasons:
- Two years ago I began sewing,
- Six months ago I quit my day job to sew full-time.
Will you celebrate with me?
