Hi Everyone! My name is Lisa and I am new to Sew Retro (thanks, Anna!). I am really looking forward to sharing my sewing projects and thoughts with everyone here! I have been sewing over 35 years and love it! I am a vintage pattern addict. I just love pouring over the old styles. Currently I am into the 60s and early 70s. I also sell patterns and other stuff on eBay. Have been doing this for years . . . I became a stay at home Mom after our youngest child, Ben was diagnosed Autistic 8 years ago. Now I can buy all the patterns I can find and sell the ones that I don't use. You can make a much better deal at the yard sale when you buy the whole box!!!!
My current project (just cut out yesterday) is this 60s robe/housecoat. I am making it out of a cute flannel because it is still pretty cool here where I live in Eastern Oregon. The flannel is a light blue check with big red cherries. I have some really cool big red buttons that I am going to add and maybe some rick-rack too! I like the way the neckline is not constricting and there is no collar. Also the three-quarter length sleeves won't get mucked up in the kitchen. I will post a photo when I finish it!
