Sarah Gunn, creator of the sewing blog, Goodbye Valentino is a resident of Spartanburg, South Carolina. Her commitment to living with creativity and purpose is demonstrated through a life of many roles and responsibilities. Sarah is wife, mother, arts advocate, and former symphony orchestra executive director and classical musician mentor. Seeking excellence in all of her endeavors included a pursuit to acquire a stylish wardrobe without spending an excessive amount of money.

One year after creating Goodbye Valentino, Sarah became affiliated with Mood Fabrics, the fabric store of TV s Project Runway by representing the store’s online sewing network.

Featured in Vogue Patterns Magazine as well as other sewing industry and regional publications, Sarah was voted as a Top 50 Blogger for Burda Style in 2014 and 2015, and is recognized for hosting an annual Ready-to-Wear Fast. She continues to inspire thousands of women to sew clothes.
