Simplicity 8390 Vintage Blouse – Holly Dress

February 22, 2021February 18, 2021 / Kitty/ Leave a comment

Here is the second dress I made using the vintage Simplicity 8390 pattern. In case you missed it, the first was this green dress. I guess I was sort of on a roll making things from this pattern. When I found this holly fabric in the store, I knew I had to make a dress from it, and this pattern …

Simplicity 8390 Vintage Blouse – Green Dress

February 18, 2021February 18, 2021 / Kitty/ 3 Comments

My last posts were about the first blouse I made from a real pattern, and then the second one I made from it. Today I’m showing you the next thing I did with that same pattern. I made it into a dress! For this project I chose a dark green cotton poplin. I also got some light green for a …

Simplicity 8390 Vintage Blouse – Black with Copihue Flowers

January 30, 2021February 18, 2021 / Kitty/ 1 Comment

I know. I was supposed to post about the dress I made using this vintage Simplicity pattern. But I decided to write about this blouse first. The dress will have to wait for the next post. After I made the first blouse with this pattern, I had to make one for my youngest sister. We went shopping for fabric and …

Simplicity 8390 Vintage Blouse – Black with Red Flowers

January 26, 2021February 18, 2021 / Kitty/ 2 Comments

This blouse was actually the very first thing I made from a pattern after learning to sew. When my dad went to take care of things at my grandmother’s house after she passed away, he came home with a box full of sewing patterns that she had used when my mother was growing up. This pattern was among them. My …

New Year: Back to Work

January 19, 2021 / Kitty/ Leave a comment

It’s been a long time since I posted anything. Before Christmas, actually. This blogging thing hasn’t been the easiest for me. It’s been hard to be consistent about posting, and it’s been hard to know what to write. Sometimes I haven’t even been able to get projects done. In my head I have a long list of things I want …

Perfect Christmas Tree Star Tutorial

December 13, 2020December 13, 2020 / Kitty/ Leave a comment

There are less than two weeks left in the countdown to Christmas. I just realized I haven’t yet had the chance to wear my velvet Christmas dress I made last year. I’ll have to make sure I do that. I’ve been very busy these days with a list of projects I’ve been working on for Christmas. This post and project …

Cranberry Sauce – Holiday Recipe

November 5, 2020November 25, 2020 / Kitty/ Leave a comment

I didn’t realize until yesterday how close Thanksgiving was. I was planning to post this earlier, but a lot of things got in my way and I couldn’t finish it. Hopefully, there’s still time to make this for tomorrow. I know many people consider cranberry sauce to be a staple with turkey dinner. If you’re anything like me, you used …

Green Wrap Blouse – Lekala Sewing Pattern

November 2, 2020November 9, 2020 / Kitty/ Leave a comment

It seems things on my Lekala project page are a little out of order. My last two projects I posted about were done in February and April of 2018, but this one I actually did in December 2017. I guess I paused in the middle of making the blue gored skirt to make this green wrap blouse as a Christmas …

Red Silk Sleeveless Blouse – Lekala

October 25, 2020October 25, 2020 / Kitty/ Leave a comment

This is the first garment I made for my youngest sister using a Lekala sewing pattern. She needed something new and fancy to wear to Mass, and this blouse is the one she chose. She was a teen, but I just put her measurements into the women’s template and the fit was really good. I made this blouse two and …

Ruffle Collar Blouse – Lekala Sewing Pattern

October 15, 2020October 15, 2020 / Kitty/ Leave a comment

After finishing the pattern test for the gored skirt in January 2018, the next pattern I made was this ruffle-collar blouse. I started it in January and finished it in February. I wanted to get it finished so I could wear it on my birthday, and I did. While I was making this I made a couple changes, but since …
