Adventures in Vintage Resales... fka adventures in baby-sewing

Sewing can be my escape, my therapy from a busy household, but life with four teens has turned into a love for reselling vintage items, including sewing patterns.

Myra: I am a Homemaker and Freight Broker (with my husband) who has a love of needle crafts, sewing, crochet, cross-stitch. I learned to sew in 2007, really love using vintage patterns (1940's, 50's, 60's) & and seeing how I can modernize them with fabric choices and trims). I need 25 hours in a day to get to everything I want to do!
