Hi. My interest in vintage sewing extends to using retro and reprinted patterns and/or old fabrics. I've got quite a large collection of patterns from the 30s & 40s, thru the 70s. I've got vintage clothes, too.

Hi. I love all types of clothing. I have a collection of vintage victorian and a little flapper. I love vintage patterns. Especially children's patterns from the 50's. I have just completed 3 caftans from a vintage simplicity (5315, View 2). Using them for swimsuit coverups. They are Cute!!
