Fantastic! I love GenQ and vintage style. My mom taught me to sew when I was little, and I've been dying to make my own full-skirted '50's dress to wear whenever I feel like it, I just need to find the time and the yardage! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteFull-skirted dresses are the best!! I hope you are able to find the time soon. Thanks for sharing, Tess!
DeleteCongratulations on the interview!
ReplyDeleteI taught myself to sew about twenty years ago but got sidetracked by other interests and am now getting back into it.
Thank you, Bobbi! Welcome back to sewing! It's so addicting, isn't it?
DeleteMy mom taught me how to sew in the early 90's, but being the teenager I was, I made a few scrunchies, ('member those?! Lol), and left it at that. As I grew out of my more tom boy look, I noticed that vintage and vintage reproduction dresses were really out of my budget. Besides, being a tall girl, they didn't fit right anyway. So I got out me grandmothers sewing machine and have been at it ever since!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the article! I hope I win :)
Oh, scrunchies!! Of course I remember those! I had years of obsessive pajama-pant sewing before I started doing vintage clothes. Thanks for sharing!
DeleteCongratulations! You look fabulous. Enter me in the drawing, please! I'd love to read about you and the others.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Leigh Ann!
DeleteCongrats! According to my grandma, sewing is in my blood. Her mother sewed all her clothes, and my mother sews and designs her own clothes. I have been sewing ever since I was little. I LOVE vintage designs and just sewed up my first vintage dress. I cannot wait to make more :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on sewing your first vintage dress! Isn't it a great feeling?! Thanks for sharing, Tenisha!
DeleteNo problem! I love it, it's so exciting to have the dresses that fit my personality so well. Now, I just need to perfect my methods :)
