Hi, everyone! I'm Peregrine, and I'm a librarian by day, vintage pattern junkie by night. My mother taught me to sew when I was about 10, but I haven't done much sewing for a few years, and I just discovered vintage patterns last summer. I've been lurking here for a few months now, and I'm really excited to be joining the blog!
Here's my latest projects, a kimono style robe (McCall's 3274) and pajamas (Simplicity 4312):
I made them out of a great old bed sheet from before I upgraded to a queen bed :)
I'm very happy with the kimono (still need to make a sash for it; that's a scarf in the photo). The pattern's sash is a cummerbund with boning, which I think is a little much for something I'll never wear out of the house.
The pajamas are comfy, but the super high waistband will take some getting used to! I wasn't watching the clock very closely, but I finished all of this in one weekend.
I have a few works in progress that (hopefully) I'll be sharing soon!
