Hello from Caroline...

How exciting to find this group... I've been sewing for years, learnt the basics from my Mum, and built on those skills myself. I mostly sew skirts and dresses, and was recently gifted a whole stash of amazing Vogue Couturier patterns from the 60s, including several very high-end Mod styles. I'm looking forward to having a go at those, but right now am working on a very retro Burda WOF 1950s party dress, in a sweet raw silk embroidered with flowers. I'm also sewing a 1970s cocktail dress for my sister, from a pattern she had drafted from a vintage dress. Does this count?

Personal? I live in LA, but my roots are in England, I work in the media, and hope to move back to the UK at some point soon.
