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 …
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. …
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 …
Introducing my first skirt pattern: the Golden Autumn Skirt! I made this skirt last year, but it’s taken me a while to get it all written up. I’ve also been debating how and when to release it, and I finally decided to go ahead and publish it on my blog. There’s still some work to do, but later on I’ll …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
