About Me

Darlinghurst, Sydney, NSW, Australia
20-something young-married with a penchant for 1960's fashion and vintage sewing patterns. My darling husband bought me a Singer for Christmas, after months of me spending exorbitant amounts on custom made clothing on Etsy.com. First problem - I haven't sewn anything since a pair of blue satin (embellished with green cartoon fish) boxer shorts in Year 8 Textiles Class. I don't know how to copy and cut a pattern - let alone put one together. The patterns, smugly, ask for basting, understitching and seam finishing and laugh at me with terms like bias, nap and yardage (being Australian, yardage just simply does not compute, so I still roughly guess at how many metres and grossly over order fabric!). So, this is how I learnt...Google.

thankyou to allow the lovely Etsy.com sellers who make these available - I think these will keep me busy for a long while yet.
