This is another skirt I made for my older sister, probably back in 2020 as a Christmas present. It is a free sewing pattern from Lekala, and it was actually one of the first patterns I downloaded, but I never got around to making it. Finally, when I needed to make something as another present, I decided to make this. …
No New Posts?
Again, it’s been a little while since I posted. My boyfriend came to visit for a few weeks, so I just kind of forgot about everything else during that time. Now that he’s gone back, I guess it’s time to get back to my regular schedule. Here’s hoping I can be consistent with my posts. I have a lot of …
Green Velvet Circle Skirt – Free Sewing Pattern
Remember my purple velvet circle skirt? I made that in 2020, which is now such a long time ago. I’m guessing it was that same year at Christmastime when my younger sister and I were brainstorming gift ideas. We decided to make an outfit for my youngest sister, and this fun and twirly circle skirt in luxurious green velvet was …
Purple Button Blouse – Lekala Pattern
Here is another project from before. This one was made in November 2019. After making the pink blouse and the green blouse from this Lekala sewing pattern, I decided to make one for myself. Once again, I adjusted the pattern for the collar to tighten it and raise it more, after seeing that the modification I did for the green …
Green Button Blouse – Lekala Sewing Pattern
When I made the pink button blouse for my older sister, I had my youngest sister model it so I could mark the buttons. It was then that I realized that her measurements are very similar and it would fit her. So after finishing that blouse, I decided to make one for her using the same Lekala pattern. She wanted …
Pink Button Blouse – Lekala Sewing Pattern
This is the other blouse I made for my older sister along with the blouse with buttons. When I was looking through the Lekala catalog for a couple of blouses to make for her, I came across this pattern for a button-up blouse. I liked the classic look of the buttons and the shape of the yoke. I also liked …
Blouse with Buttons – Lekala Sewing Pattern
This blouse with buttons was a project I made back in 2019 as a birthday present for my older sister. I never posted the project on Lekala or wrote about it until now because I hadn’t been able to take pictures until a few days ago. Writing up the projects such a long time after the fact is not a …
Coming Back
I notice it’s been nearly a month since my last post. Have I done anything since then? Yes, I have. I know I haven’t been doing anything visible here, and I keep regretting neglecting my projects and my blog. It’s true that I have so many things in the works, but it’s just so hard for me to get everything …
Another New Year
I’ve never been one to make new year’s resolutions. Nor am I going to start now. Still, I feel like it is a good opportunity to reflect on things and think about what I want to accomplish this year and what I need to do better than last year. I remember writing a post last year describing everything I wanted …
The Road to Recovery
It’s been a while. Since I lost my sister, things haven’t been easy. It seems as if time has gone by without my noticing. But it’s been getting better. For a long time, I didn’t really do much of anything at all. I felt like I had neither the will nor the energy. For about the first two months, I …
