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 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 …

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 …

Blue Gored Skirt – Sewing Pattern Test

October 5, 2020October 5, 2020 / Kitty/ 2 Comments

I have posted about my first projects using Lekala sewing patterns: the maroon top, the blue fleece top, and the blue velvet blouse. The next project I did was a test for this sewing pattern from Sewist, Lekala’s sister site. When I first saw the gored skirt I wasn’t sure about it. I thought it looked kind of strange with …

Blue Velvet and Satin Blouse – Lekala Pattern

August 10, 2020August 10, 2020 / Kitty/ Leave a comment

This is my third project using a Lekala sewing pattern. The first two were my maroon wrap top and my blue polar fleece top, both made with this free pattern. After the good results of the first two projects, I decided to go ahead and try a paid pattern, and this velvet blouse was the one I chose for my …

Purple Velvet Circle Skirt – Free Pattern

July 29, 2020July 29, 2020 / Kitty/ Leave a comment

Last year when I finally got to making myself a Christmas dress, I decided to use this circle skirt template and simple bodice from The Littlest Studio. After making it and seeing the skirt, I knew that I had to have more circle skirts in my wardrobe. In February my sister went shopping and brought home a whole lot of …

Blue Fleece Wrap Top – Lekala

June 25, 2020July 15, 2020 / Kitty/ 2 Comments

This is the second project I made using a Lekala pattern. The first one was the maroon wrap top I made in June 2017. I had made some mistakes in the measurements of that one, and so it ended up a bit tight. I decided to make another one with the same pattern, this time using polar fleece for a …
