Hi there and hello


Hi all! I'm Ashley, and I'm new to SewRetro, but I have been lurking for quite some time. My vintage pattern obsession started when I became interested in vintage clothing in high school (around the time I started sewing). I found that truly neat vintage was hard to find at a decent price and in the right size. So when a kind aunt unloaded a box of her old mid-1960s patterns on me, I suddenly found myself with a way to recreate the past! Been hooked ever since.

This particular pattern is from Dewittco.com. Note the flower petal collar! I'm going to make the sleeveless version in a powder-blue double-knit synthetic. If it actually turns out (I'm new to knits) I'll post a picture!
