Hello retro sewers

Hi there, I just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Ingrid and I am a crazy sewing mumma to three children. I have only been sewing for about 12 months, but I have been collecting vintage patterns for a few years. I mainly collect and sew children's clothes, but looking at all the fabulous things lots of you are doing for yourselves has inspired me to try out sewing for myself as well.

The last retrosew I did was simplicity pattern #7197 from the late 1970s. Here is a pic, although it isn't a very good one.

At the moment I am working on a birthday dress for my daughter from this pattern which I think is from the late 50's. I am using this vintage fabric, which is a beautiful polished cotton. I have been saving it for something special so I truly hope I don't stuff it up.

I look forward to seeing what the sew-along will be for September so I can join in. You can find out more about me and my sewing adventures here.
