The first tidbit is a photo of "how we do it". I don't know if we've ever had a photo together like this before. This is Julia, proprietress of Basya Berkman Vintage Fashion, and me sitting at my living room worktable. I am gradually taking over the whole house with my repair work, supplies, and storage. The living room has a wall-size window, which gives lovely light for handwork, so the table is nearly always up. Julia had brought over a pile of "broken" clothes, and here we are, going over each piece and I'm taking notes on what each one will need. From the way we are dressed, you can tell what kind of winter we had this year in the Chicago area!
