Let’s talk a bit about me.  I’m Calandra.  Most of my friends call me Callie.  I have a passion for sewing and I absolutely love all things vintage, which is why I want to inspire visitors to sew-in particular with vintage sewing patterns.  I mean come on, it’s the perfect way to synergize of my love for vintage and passion for sewing while giving back.     

So thank you for visiting the blog of a vintagely inspired seamstress.  I hope you’ll get vintagely inspired.
