When my sister and I made our blouses, we immediately got the idea to lengthen the pattern and make dresses. Quite some time ago, I posted about the green dress I made using this pattern. This is the dress my sister made at the same time. This dress has some interesting design choices that make it unique. First off, this …
After writing about the other blouses my sister made, it’s time to write about what seems to be the last one. I realized just how many blouses she made very soon after we started sewing. To begin with, this blouse has, once again, the basic shape with the princess seams to the shoulders, both in front and back. Princess seams …
So I previously posted about the pink ruffle blouse, which was the second shirt my sister sewed for herself. This one came after that, and it has some similarities and some differences. This blouse is made from another drafted pattern. This time, instead of having princess seams to the shoulders, like the other blouses, it has them to the armscyes. …
In my last post I talked about the black pleated skirt that my sister made to got with this blouse. Now I’m showing the blouse. When we were planning to make our first blouses from this vintage pattern, my sister and I went fabric shopping together and found this black crepe with red flowers that we both loved. So we …
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 …
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 …
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 liked …
