Hi everyone,
A long-time Sew Retro stalker/voyeur (I mean admirer), I decided that I should join and contribute instead of just getting jealous of other people's pretty things.
My grandma taught me to sew when I was five, but I didn't start making real garments until I was in high school. For the last few years, my sewing skills have mostly been used to alter thrift store finds, but this past fall I decided to stop buying clothes altogether and make everything (except shoes - who wants homemade shoes?).
Besides sewing, I knit and cook and am determined to learn some embroidery stitches.
Outside of my crafty life, I'm involved in progressive politics, currently the student movement in Montreal.
