Sewing Classic Modest Clothing star
It can be a daunting task trying to find ready-to-wear modest clothing in catalog or department stores. Home sewing modest apparel that is simple, classic, and elegant can be rewarding as well as affordable.

The Vintage Pattern Lending Library star[offsite link]

Vintage Hankies star
The historical significance of the hankie, this most unassuming of clothing accessories, a mere square of delicate cloth usually hand embroidered, at times bejeweled by the wealthy, and in its unadorned form and utilitarian use carried in men’s breast or pants pocket cannot be denied.

Vintage Made New Again star

Our subjective judgement of what appeals at the moment to our sense of beauty and desire is surely a function of many elements.
