Dear Anna, dear retro sewists, thanks for welcoming me on this wonderful blog! Of course I’ve lurked for a loooong time before actually daring to ask for an invitation. Seeing all the beautiful outfits you can sew makes me want to try and do my best. For my first post I bring you a collar-less version of Butterick 6717 which is actually an essay dress (a sort of muslin?). I’ve worn it many times and have made another version which you can see on my blog. I have other vintage patterns in waiting and I hope I can show you my realisations soon! See you!
