Hi!! Welcome to the team. How cool - I sew and knit too. I learned how to make my own patterns but it would be cool to have some original ones. I have one or two from the 70s that my mom had but I love the 50s and am now getting into the 40s.

WELCOME!
I have to admit....I wish I had that kind of talent!
Your sewing of the outfits sounds beautiful! I am too, try to figure out a hairstyle of the 50's. Haven't come up with one yet. If anyone has suggestions of short to midlength hair that is thinner on top and thicken on the side and back, please email them to me.
Also, your weight is right on the nose as to where I am at this time. Just recently lost 23 pounds! I am determined to get back my pencil-skirt figure size! I remember my look then so, it has to be somewhere in all of this weight...:)!
Again, welcome! You will love Spark!

Hello to all the vintage lovers here on sparks.

I'm a newbie to vintage love. I just discovered my love of the 50s. I finally figured out how to style my hair in a 50s typ of way without having to cut it. I love my VERY long hair.
I'm also a knitter and a seamstress and i'm working on a sweater from 1955 right now. I bought a few 1950s dress patterns that i'll whip up as soon as I have a few days off. And I have the most gorgeous pencil skirt just waiting for my day off.
I've lost 25 kilos so far on my own, and i'm looking into losing another 16 or 17 kilos. I'm getting the hour glass figure from back in the day.
I'm also interested in the diet from the 1950s. If anyone can tell me more i'd be on happy camper.

I'm also married, no kids, three cats, and I also love to read, and I work in a casino. I'm german-american and live in Hessen, Germany.
