Hi,I'm Linda and am a vintage addict. My main influence on clothes was Malibu Barbie et al. The 1960's were just ending when my imagination was captured by her beautiful clothes. I joined Sew Retro to fulfill the many ideas and to do's that float around in my head. My first project is going to be a simple skirt from vintage fabric and lace. I am a pattern dyslexic, I cannot understand Butterick,Vogue etc instructions so I have no hope in using a 1950's or 1960's pattern.. at this stage anyway. Thankyou to Anna and Alissa for the idea and setting it all up.
