Fussy Gussy

Skulls and sushi, bunnies and babes.
Fussy Gussy is a purveyor of handmade potholders, totes, aprons, etc. This one-​woman cottage industry has an eye for vivid patterns and chic-​but-​shocking juxtapositions. Find her stuff on her etsy website, at local stores (listed on the website), and at local craft fairs.
Or just stalk her, like I do…

Fussy Gussy has been around for a year. She haunts craft bazaar’s (only the best of the best) Buckaroo’s Mercantile and Magpie. Soft sewn satchels, potholders, placemats, pillows, all of the things you realize you have to have! upon first sight… why? because they will make your life better. The schtick of F.G. is fabric fabric fabric (paired with the gifted designer’s meticulous and tasteful knack/​crusade for perfection) They are more than kitsch they are revved up hummina hermana– muy caliente– retro– new wave –goodness…think the Gabor sisters before Hollywood squares, Elizabeth Taylor as Cleopatra with bustin’ out cleavage… or maybe more like Charro if she weren’t annoying and lived in silent movies. This upstart is moving along and I am thankful to be around for the beginnings.

Fussy Gussy is so freakin’ awesome! I bought a few potholders from her at the bazaar in the basement of the Unitarian church up in Harvard Sq. this past Xmas season… they were so adorable and amazingly well put-​together, I couldn’t resist. I was supposed to be out shopping for family and friends, but these were just for me.
Everything is handcrafted and made with love. Definitely check out her wares online. FUSSY GUSSY RAWKS.
