This is a skirt I made for my sister as a birthday present. It’s a very simple design with three ruffled layers. They’re each simple rectangles that are gathered at the top. The topmost layer is attached to the waistband, while the bottom two are sewn to hidden base layers under the ruffles. I made a lot of measurement calculations …
Now it’s time for what looks like the last project my sister made for herself. This was at a time when we wanted to make everything ourselves. We had made a few nightgowns, which I haven’t ever been able to take pictures of. Some things I probably never will. Anyway, this is the nightgown she made for herself. This nightgown …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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. …
In April of last year, I came across a testing call for this lovely tee by Susanna Biaye of Fosbas Designs. I was thrilled when I was accepted to test for her, and very excited since it also happened to be the first time I ever tested a crochet pattern for a designer. Since I’m posting all my projects on …
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 …
