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 …
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.

After I made the first blouse with this pattern, I had to make one for my youngest sister. We went shopping for fabric and …
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 …
