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 …
When I was writing about the black circle skirt I made for my youngest sister, I realized that I never wrote about my black dress. I must correct that oversight by making this post now. I originally cut and sewed the bodice to test the fit before cutting the more expensive red velvet for the Christmas dress. After a successful …
Well, I was actually intending to publish this pattern for Christmas. I had the bells all made and the pattern figured out. I just needed to take pictures of the first round, and with everything else I was doing in December, it just didn’t happen. In light of recent events, now it seems more appropriate to connect it to a …
White lace and promises… a kiss for luck and we’re on our way… For years I’ve dreamed of our wedding day, and it finally came. It actually came on short notice, which we were expecting. After months of waiting, with nothing in the foreseeable future, my boyfriend and I decided that if the chance came, we had to take it. …
It’s time for another circle skirt. This time it’s a black one made of ponte di roma. I made it as a birthday present for my youngest sister. Once again, the free pattern is the amazing circle skirt template from The Littlest Studio. The sewing is super quick and easy, and I just love both the drape and the way …
Here is the matching beanie for the Aran Scarf. Both of these I made for my brother to match the sweater my younger sister knitted him for Christmas. The Aran Beanie features cables for its center design, while the rest of it is done in a moss pattern to mirror the look of the sweater. Aran Beanie Crochet Pattern Skill …
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. …
Again, it’s been a little while since I posted. My boyfriend came to visit for a few weeks, so I just kind of forgot about everything else during that time. Now that he’s gone back, I guess it’s time to get back to my regular schedule. Here’s hoping I can be consistent with my posts. I have a lot of …
Remember my purple velvet circle skirt? I made that in 2020, which is now such a long time ago. I’m guessing it was that same year at Christmastime when my younger sister and I were brainstorming gift ideas. We decided to make an outfit for my youngest sister, and this fun and twirly circle skirt in luxurious green velvet was …
