So I was working on a different post that I’ve been meaning to finish and publish, but lately I’ve been absorbed in a totally different project. I’ve spent a lot of time on the preliminaries and it’s gone very slowly, but I’m finally to the point where I have everything I need to get started. This post is going to …
I keep trying to get a blogging schedule, but somehow it seems to take so much to post. I just realized that I haven’t posted since February, so it’s been a full two months. Somehow it seems I have so much to do. I also haven’t been doing much for the projects that I had planned. I do have some …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
