Vintage for the real world
As I headed to my sewing machine today, I suddenly thought: “Sewing is magic.”
Then the last two lines of the following poem popped into my head:
“Magic”
Sandra’s seen a leprechaun,
Eddie touched a troll,
Laurie danced with witches once,
Charlie found some goblins’ gold.
Donald heard a mermaid sing,
Susy spied an elf,
But all the magic I have known
I’ve had to make myself.
Shel Silverstein, Where the Sidewalk Ends
This blog is a chronicle of my sewing 
adventures as I attempt to build a wardrobe of vintage-inspired clothing that works in the real world. I'm blogging to motivate myself to sew more regularly, to try more advanced techniques, and to share what I learn along the way.
During the day, I help associations with their marketing and communication projects as the owner of JMT Communications Management. You can learn more about that here.
Thank you for visiting!

How sweet. I am always amazed with poetry. My exposure has been historically limited because my reading time mostly had to be profession related. Thank you for this.

It’s hard to make time for poetry, but I end up reading it because of my kids. I never appreciated Dr. Seuss until I started reading it out loud to my children. So much fun!
