  1. Love your blog! I'm your mom's age but also share the vintage interest in combination with international fabrics of countries I have been in such as in Asia and East Africa and also Liberty tana Lawn. I find it challenging to find the right modern or vintage dress patterns that make the garments not look too 'out of place'. Many of the East African cotton jaquard tie-dye and batik prints I have made into 60-70's dress, sundress or maxi dress or skirts or simple shirts or skirts from vintage patterns from a stash or hand drafted. Like you I also like to sew garments from the 20's up to modern. It is refreshing to see someone as young as you are with such creativity pushing intercultural boundaries in vintage sewing!
