Hello, everyone! I'm delighted to be a part of Sew Retro after a long time lurking. My name is Sarah Gilbert and my blog is Rhinestones and Telephones. I'm an avid thrifter, crafter, decorator, and seamstress.I love to sew and have been sewing since I was 9 years old. My granma taught me on her hand crank Singer sewing machine. I started out making doll clothes and have branched out over the years to clothing, totes, bedding, and just about everything in between. I also have a great love of rhinestones and often add them to my creations. After all, shouldn't everyone feel sparkly? ;)
My favourite eras are the 1920s, 1940s, and 1950s. I'm a bit of a mishmash of June Cleaver, Betty Rizzo, and Velma Kelly! I love Rockabilly style, vintage prints, bold colours, and retro design. I'm looking forward to sharing what I make for my June, June, & Junie Project.

Sarah :)
