Hi there! I’m a follower of Sew Retro for some months now.
I’m an Italian woman, living in Sardinia, an island in the Mediterranean Sea.
I love hand-made stuff! Since I always wanted to sew my own clothes, last month I took the courage and bought my first vintage pattern: Simplicity 3522.
I must say it was not that difficult!!!…the problem was that I didn’t have a serger! But then my lovely husband fixed an one for me!!
I’ve starded my own blog, Babajaga, so come and visit!!
