In two of my books—Blind Stitches and Portrait of a Protégé—one
of the main characters favors vintage clothing. Leila (of Protégé) inherits her
former-modeling grandmother’s designer wardrobe from the ’40s and ’50s, and
Juliet (of Blind Stitches) is a seamstress who specializes in the retro look.
These casting details make it all the more cool that I just received a really
nice review of Blind Stitches from a talented lady who has a vintage sewing
blog. I’ve been following Laura Mae’s blog—Lilacs & Lace—for a little
while, and she’s inspired me to sew a few vintage outfits myself. I’m
especially pleased that she enjoyed the story!
If you're curious about a seamstresses impression of Blind Stitches, go have a look.
