Hello!
This is my first post here on WeSewRetro, so thanks for having me!
I love hunting for old things at thrift stores, antique shops, and yard sales. I recently went to my first estate sale and brought home loads of fabric and other sewing goodies.
Inspired by my lucky haul, I put together this quick dress using some soft, lightweight plaid fabric, a pack of navy bias tape, and 1969 McCall’s 9735, all from the estate sale. As you can see, I added a collar and a little waist tie.
More details over on my blog, Sewin’ Steady. Feel free to pop in and say hi.

Hi, I'm Sue. I like sewing and making things and am a lover of all things vintage. After dabbling lightly in sewing while growing up, I returned to my old craft in 2010 looking for a casual hobby and ignited a passion. I'm now officially obsessed and suffer from frequent fits of nerdy, sewing-related daydreams. Since I lack real-life sewing friends to share with, I turned to the internets for an outlet ...and here I am. :)
