My Sister, Sewing

Pink Fleece Raglan Blouse

November 15, 2021August 10, 2022 / Kitty/ Leave a comment

So in my last post when I wrote a bit about my younger sister, I mentioned her creative talents and how she created many beautiful things. I also mentioned how I would share her many creations. This is the first one I’ve decided to share. I believe this was the first article of clothing that she ever made for me. …

Red Silk Bow Blouse

July 20, 2021August 10, 2022 / Kitty/ Leave a comment

This is a blouse I made back when I was trying to draft my own patterns. After finding a picture online, I knew I wanted to make it. Using yet another of my self-drafted bodice blocks as a base, I did my best to make something that looked like the picture. I tried to match the details as much as …

Princess Dress for Barbie – Part 2: Sewing the Bodice

May 20, 2021May 21, 2021 / Kitty/ 1 Comment

So after finishing the planning stage of this project, I was ready to start sewing. First, the bodice. This took a bit longer than I had planned, because I guess I should have done a bit more planning. First, I cut out the pieces for the bodice and sleeves from pink satin. Because this fabric frays practically just from touching …

Princess Dress for Barbie – Part 1: Planning

May 12, 2021May 21, 2021 / Kitty/ 1 Comment

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 …

Simplicity 8390 Vintage Blouse – Holly Dress

February 22, 2021February 18, 2021 / Kitty/ 1 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, 2021July 9, 2021 / Kitty/ 4 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 Copihue Flowers

January 30, 2021June 1, 2021 / Kitty/ 2 Comments

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 …

Simplicity 8390 Vintage Blouse – Black with Red Flowers

January 26, 2021June 1, 2021 / Kitty/ 3 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 …
