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. …
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 …
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 …
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 like …
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 …
Shortly after I tested the Rhapsody Tee, I was invited to test another of Susanna Biaye’s patterns. This time it was the Rose Kimono, a lovely wrap vest with a belt. I decided to make my version using this fine blue yarn from my stash, and it goes nicely with my blue skirt. The design is a very simple one, …
In April of last year, I came across a testing call for this lovely tee by Susanna Biaye of Fosbas Designs. I was thrilled when I was accepted to test for her, and very excited since it also happened to be the first time I ever tested a crochet pattern for a designer. Since I’m posting all my projects on …
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 …
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 …
