First Things First

I am a vintage enthusiast. That is to say I have a love affair with vintage sewing.
Like most romantic affairs we have our ups and downs. One day things run smoothly, we communicate well, I understand ever single nuance and can see just how the folds of the cloth should fall. Then there are days when I want to pull my hair out, rage aloud to the pattern at hand and flee the studio in tears with the slamming of the door. Our relationship, while tumultuous, is constant. I am constantly coming back for more.

There are quite a few blogs out there about sewing (if you want to know more check out the Big List of Sewing Blogs) and there are quite a few out there created by vintage experts. I am not them. I am a constant work in progress - not unlike many sewing projects in my studio. My goal is to share my exploration of vintage sewing with you with wit and enthusiasm. So come sit back, read a little, laugh a little, hopefully learn a little and maybe teach me a little. :)
