late in the game

Hello – well better late than never! My name is Marietta and though I sew for a living, I don’t sew for me. So I figured, that this blog might help motivate me to do some fabulous things for me – such as, make a ball gown for my theatre’s upcoming gala - something that I can also wear to a Viennese Ball here in Washington DC next February. As a costumer, I love to collect vintage patterns (reissued or found) as well as old fashioned “how to books.” I am hoping to get an early 60’s dress in before the end of the month; otherwise, I will definitely get in on the next challenge. Love what I have seen from you all so far!
