This is the next dress my sister made after the blue one. Looking at it now, it has a very vintage vibe to it. At least that’s what it seems to me, someone who doesn’t know much about specific vintage styles. This dress is made of cotton poplin as well. My sister started making it, then realized she didn’t have …
When my sister and I made our blouses, we immediately got the idea to lengthen the pattern and make dresses. Quite some time ago, I posted about the green dress I made using this pattern. This is the dress my sister made at the same time. This dress has some interesting design choices that make it unique. First off, this …
After writing about the other blouses my sister made, it’s time to write about what seems to be the last one. I realized just how many blouses she made very soon after we started sewing. To begin with, this blouse has, once again, the basic shape with the princess seams to the shoulders, both in front and back. Princess seams …
So I previously posted about the pink ruffle blouse, which was the second shirt my sister sewed for herself. This one came after that, and it has some similarities and some differences. This blouse is made from another drafted pattern. This time, instead of having princess seams to the shoulders, like the other blouses, it has them to the armscyes. …
In my last post I talked about the black pleated skirt that my sister made to got with this blouse. Now I’m showing the blouse. When we were planning to make our first blouses from this vintage pattern, my sister and I went fabric shopping together and found this black crepe with red flowers that we both loved. So we …
About the time my sister made her pink pleated skirt, we got a box of vintage patterns that had belonged to my grandmother. Among those was the “famous” Simplicity 8390 blouse that I might have already mentioned once or twice before. At the same time I made mine, my sister also made one. But this post isn’t about that. Since …
It’s past time for another project post; this is the next in line for documenting my sister’s projects. After we made our blue tiered skirts, the next thing my sister and I wanted to make was a pink pleated skirt. I guess it was kind of always a dream of ours to have a pink pleated skirt, back when we …
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. My older sister made hers in a cream color, and my younger sister and I actually made ours both pale pink; they’re nearly identical except for the buttons. I …
