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 …
About the time my sister made her pink pleated skirt, we got a box of vintage patterns that had belonged to my grandmother. Among those was the “famous” Simplicity 8390 blouse that I might have already mentioned once or twice before. At the same time I made mine, my sister also made one. But this post isn’t about that. Since …
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 …
When my sisters and I first starting learning to sew, our teacher had us do a simple skirt as the first project. So we each did our own using the same basic pattern drafted from our own measurements. This project I’m sharing here was made by my younger sister. Now that I think about it, how long ago it was… …
When I was looking through my project photos, I found this and realized I hadn’t posted it yet. This is another project from probably 2019. My younger sister and I made this for my older sister.

Today is the first day of Advent! I know many people have already put up Christmas decorations, while other people are waiting for December 1st to do that. However, today being the 4th Sunday before Christmas Day, it is officially the beginning of the Christmas season, hence the time to start decorating. To start things off, I have a quick …
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 …
