About Me

My photo
I love to read about, collect, and use vintage needlework tools and textiles. Heirloom sewing, embroidery, knitting, quilting, tatting, crochet, and recreating vintage fashions are some of my favorite techniques. When I pick up a needle, the endorphins start to flow!

Group 29!

I’m now officially a member of group 29 of the 1912 Titantic VPLL  project.  Janyce has a roster of over 400 pattern testers from across the country and abroad.  My group is primarily from Kansas and Oklahoma.  The excitement of waiting for our first assignment is incredibly energizing.  While I wait for the first pattern, I am avidly following the 1912 Titantic Sewing Project facebook page, which is very active with posts from people of all skill levels sharing thoughts, experience, and resources.  The official Blog for the project http://vpll1912project.org/  has some of the fashion sketches posted, and I’m having fun planning how I might approach each one if it should become my assignment.  I especially like the blouse to the left 

and the simple dress
