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 display window filled with ruffles — my heart skipped a beat. Ruffles feel like air to me; I want them everywhere. I dream of expanding my line of ruffled pieces, though I worry that once I start adding ruffles to every category I won’t be able to stop. For now I’ll live vicariously through the beautiful work of others.
From time to time I save photos and projects that have been lovingly ruffle-ized. Here is a curated collection of my top favorites that continue to inspire me.

Sew pretty!

Back to me 🙂
November 2010 is an exciting time for two reasons:
- Two years ago I started sewing, and
- Six months ago I quit my day job to sew full-time.
Will you celebrate with me?
