Hi! I'm Miss Retro Rachael. I've been sewing for about 8 years after I accidentally drunk ordered a sewing machine on Amazon! (Friends don't let friends drink and Prime...) I love vintage style clothing but teach modern sewing techniques that create a better, faster, sewing experience. I believe in sewing smarter, not harder. And I truly believe being part of an amazing sewing community can make all the difference.
