About the time my sister made her pink pleated skirt, we got a box of vintage patterns that had belonged to my grandmother. Among those was the “famous” Simplicity 8390 blouse that I might have already mentioned once or twice before. At the same time I made mine, my sister also made one. But this post isn’t about that. Since …
It’s past time for another project post; this is the next in line for documenting my sister’s projects. After we made our blue tiered skirts, the next thing my sister and I wanted to make was a pink pleated skirt. I guess it was kind of always a dream of ours to have a pink pleated skirt, back when we …
So I previously posted about my sister’s first sewing project, her first skirt. After making that basic A-line skirt, the next project we were given was a bit more complex: a tiered skirt. For some reason, it was decided that all three of us would make our skirts out of the same fabric. I don’t recall the details of it, …
After my sister made her first shirt, she wanted to do another one that was a little more special. Finding inspiration online, she decided on one with ruffles, so that’s what she did next. She picked a fabric similar to the poplin she used before, but it’s a tiny bit thicker and stiffer, and the shade of pink is darker. …
As I previously shared my sister’s first skirt project, now I’m sharing her first shirt. Our sewing teacher had me and my sisters do a button-down shirt as our next project. My older sister made hers in a cream color, and my younger sister and I actually made ours both pale pink; they’re nearly identical except for the buttons. I …
When my sisters and I first starting learning to sew, our teacher had us do a simple skirt as the first project. So we each did our own using the same basic pattern drafted from our own measurements. This project I’m sharing here was made by my younger sister. Now that I think about it, how long ago it was… …
When I was looking through my project photos, I found this and realized I hadn’t posted it yet. This is another project from probably 2019. My younger sister and I made this for my older sister. We were looking for a very simple and quick skirt for a last-minute Christmas present. We went with this design which is essentially a …

This blouse is another one of my sister’s projects. Several years ago I asked her to make me a blouse for my birthday using the same pattern as my white fitted blouse. I asked that it be pink with a different neckline and short sleeves, and decorated with whatever she thought would look good. I don’t remember if I specifically …
It’s time for the next entry in the Simplicity 8390 Vintage Blouse series. I actually started working on this blouse years ago, back when I was learning to sew. This was shortly after I made the black blouse with red flowers, the black blouse with copihue, and the green dress. I had originally planned to make a blue blouse with …
