Hello! I came across this wonderful blog when livebird linked it from her Vintage Pattern Contest review on PatternReview! On PR, I’m Kellie R.
With all of the mooching around that I do on vintage sites, I don’t know why I’ve never come across this blog before?! But I’m glad that I did!
I absolutely love sewing, mostly costumes and from vintage patterns. My vintage pattern collection is starting to take on a life of its own! (Note to self to get cracking on organizing it!)
I’m a full time homemaker and have been married for 13 years to a wonderful man. We have two boys, ages 11 and 7 (almost 8). We have two dogs, a black Lab and a Sheltie. It gets crazy here sometimes!
I currently have two works in progress, although neither is vintage! lol My next vintage project will be a sun dress. But I’m already trying to conceptualize a dress for my upcoming 25th high school reunion! (yikes, was I really Class of ’84?)
In the meantime, I’m planning to resurrect my blog. I completely lost momentum on it after we moved last summer…
I look forward to following everybody’s projects! The camaraderie of other vintage enthusiasts is priceless!
Regards,
Kellie
Welcome to Sew Retro. I love this community. I can’t wait to see your projects. You’ll have to post your blog so we can go see what you’re up to.
If you go to my blog, you’ll find a tip for organizing those vintage patterns. I put lots of sewing tips on my blog.
