Gift Biz Unwrapped | Women Entrepreneurs | Bakers, Crafters, Makers | Startup

Sue started her craft 26 years ago due to a laundry error. Yes, you heard me right - a laundry error that reduced Sue's beloved sweaters to a pile of carnage. And since then, she's learned so many lessons in business as she found her own way. What would have brought most to tears, became a lightbulb moment for Sue. Blending her graphic design with her sewing skills, she refashioned the sweaters into new wearables and launched Baabaazuzu. The brand has grown to include hats, mittens, scarves, bags, and more for women and men, all made from post-consumer woolens. The past 25+ years have been a whirlwind of growth, excitement, challenges, and brilliant ideas that have tested her patience, as well as rewarded my efforts. Sue says she’s grateful for the learning curves that are part of the journey as an artist and entrepreneur. LESSONS IN BUSINESS Know if there’s a market for your product.
