I just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Marlou and I am new to the sewing world and vintage patterns. When I started to learn how to sew (which was just a month ago), I started to look for patterns which I can start praticing on and although there were many to choose from of current fashions, nothing really caught my eye until I stumbled on this vintage pattern below -- McCall's 3206 (c) 1955, Nightgown and Bloomers. You can find more info here at
my blog. I think I fell in love with the artwork of the pattern, then found there were only 4 pieces and then found there were no zippers or buttons which I have not yet learned to do. This is perfect for a newbie. This is my first project and will post more pictures when I'm done.
I now have a growing collection of vintage patterns all of which I have not yet done. (Obsessions are a sad thing but it is fun!) But with the grace of God, I have a lifetime to do them all.
I wanted to thank you all for your posts because I really enjoying reading and looking at your projects. As a newbie, your posts really inspires me and helps me learn along the way.
Happy Sewing!
Marlou
