Tasha is an everyday vintage gal. She's thoroughly modern, she just likes old stuff. Calling her a vintage enthusiast is probably an understatement. Saying she's obsessed with vintage is a little closer to the truth. She loves all sorts of vintage items from different eras, but her heart is with 1950s knitting and sewing patterns, and mid-century fashion, housewares, and furniture.

Ta da! My yellow spring topper from Simplicity 3541 from 1950 is done. And I love it! It was a pretty short project all things considered, taking me about a week to actually sew. Although it probably took another week to make the muslin and get all the pattern pieces ..read more
