Zack and I are currently in Michigan showing off our happy, chubby baby Maxwell to our families. For most of them, they are meeting Maxwell for their very first time, and it’s totally making our hearts swell.

Editor’s Note: Evy’s Tree hoodies are made out of the highest quality cotton and modal blend and are hand sewn in Peru by a loving family. They are partially handmade, not fully handmade like I had originally noted below. You know me, I like to keep what I wear to casual and comfy, but with… [Read More]

It may have been a few years since I sold my wares on Etsy, but one thing that hasn’t changed is my adoration for the Etsy blog. I love the community they cultivate and the processes they share. Even though selling with Etsy wasn’t the best fit for my shop, I’m still able to appreciate… [Read More]
On Monday we shared we are adding to the Gussy Sews team — which is superbly exciting! There are multiple positions available and not all positions require you to live in the Los Angeles area. I would be so so appreciative of any social media sharing you could do. We’re looking to add to our… [Read More]
