Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage
I've been getting hit on a lot recently. I blame this new "catcall" culture we're starting to have. And it seems to happen more when I wear something vintage style. Everything from "Will you be my teacher!" to "Hey Baby!" I'm actually kinda invisible when I wear skinny jeans and a T.- Amy Jeanne

Amusing quotes from people mis-dating you
Everyone insists I am "rockabilly" and I only listen to "rockabilly" music. While it is one of the many things I like, it's not the center of my life. I dress more late 30s than anything else. Must be the tattoos (which are all 20s-30s themed, btw). lol- Amy Jeanne

First sewing projects should always be done with cheap fabric and with a cheap, modern pattern you don't care about ;)- Amy Jeanne

Show us what you've made!
Thank you! I love sewing! I stopped because I gained 30 lbs and no standard vintage patterns that I had fit me. I put the needles away for about a year :( But I shed the weight and I've been sewing like crazy this year! I only post the 30s-40s stuff in here, but I sew the entire century...- Amy Jeanne

Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage
One of my neighbors said "Are you in 1943?!" (as a compliment). I get excited when I get the proper time period!! It beats "Grease" all the time :)- Amy Jeanne

Best beauty decision you've made?
Running. Great for the waist and the anxiety I suffer. Sewing. Particularly opening myself up to pretty much all the decades from the 20s to the 70s and doing myself up accordingly. For a while I was only sewing 30s and 40s. Growing out my bob and bangs. Had that hairstyle since 2001! I...- Amy Jeanne

Show us what you've made!
I made something relevant to this message board! lol I make all kinds of things from the 20s to now, but I had been sewing lots of 60s and 70s things which I stopped showing on here because they're aren't the correct era. But I made a dress from 1942: There is a shop stamp on the...- Amy Jeanne

Amusing quotes from people mis-dating you
My favorite will always be: "I thought you were religious until I saw your tattoos." "Religious" = Amish. Other than this, I just seem to get the same "Grease" comments over and over. I wear 30s, early 40s, and late 60s, early 70s. None of which resemble Grease, but I always take it...- Amy Jeanne
