So I previously posted about my sister’s first sewing project, her first skirt. After making that basic A-line skirt, the next project we were given was a bit more complex: a tiered skirt. For some reason, it was decided that all three of us would make our skirts out of the same fabric. I don’t recall the details of it, …
After my sister made her first shirt, she wanted to do another one that was a little more special. Finding inspiration online, she decided on one with ruffles, so that’s what she did next. She picked a fabric similar to the poplin she used before, but it’s a tiny bit thicker and stiffer, and the shade of pink is darker. …
As I previously shared my sister’s first skirt project, now I’m sharing her first shirt. Our sewing teacher had me and my sisters do a button-down shirt as our next project.

When I was looking through my project photos, I found this and realized I hadn’t posted it yet. This is another project from probably 2019. My younger sister and I made this for my older sister. We were looking for a very simple and quick skirt for a last-minute Christmas present. We went with this design which is essentially a …
Recently I’ve been thinking about poetry, after finding some poems I wrote many, many years ago. It’s not much, and it isn’t particularly good, but I remember when I wrote it. It was certainly good to me at the time, and it felt good to create it and write it down. I’ve been thinking how I want to make more …
