I have just joined Sew Retro which I think is a fab blog and I just love browsing through the vintage patterns, vintage fabrics, vintage inspired outfits etc! A little about me, I live in Wales and enjoy spending time sewing, dressmaking and generally collecting patterns. I prefer to sew dresses more then any other garment and enjoy using vintage patterns and adding my own modern twist.
So here are a few examples of my retro work so far:
 |
| 1950′s Vogue Pattern |
Pretty pink cotton slub and floral buttons, I made this for my halfway-to-50 party last year and it is a firm favourite.
 |
|
| 1975 Style Pattern |
My most recent retro dress with cute puff sleeves and ribbon wasitband.
 |
| Simplicity 3780 a reissue of a 1950′s pattern |
I love this dress! I made it for my sister for Christmas and I think I will have to make myself one too. I am currently working on Vogue 2960, another vintage reissue. If you want to see more please visit my blog

Love all of the dresses, but I cannot decide which one is the cutest. Look forward to seeing more of your garments.
3780 is gorgeous. The bodice detail is fab.
Looks great- I especially like the first dress!
