Ellen's Sewing Passion

For the time being Blue is one of my favorite colors! 💙 I bought this chiffon blouse a while ago,  but have not been wearing it so much since the waist was a bit short. Therefore I decided to fresh it up! I have used the same BurdaStyle pattern from issue 10/2019  which I used to make the Chiffon Blouse At first I thought it would be great to have the V-neck at the back,  but realized that it would be better at the front. I like very much the turquoise ribbon around the neck,  and I kept the sleeves with the buttons which are just great!  I have combined the upper part with blue cortelle jersey.  






BurdaStyle pattern #106 10/2019

This is a pattern I had to make over again..  It's based on BurdaStyle pattern from issue 05/2016. I like the double pleats in front that makes it unique! The short sleeves have a finish with a folded edge. This lovely satin fabric give me good vibes since I found it on a marked in Singapore🤩
This is how I made the opening at the back of the neck, and I have used a little button-diamond :)



Cheers! 💙💙💙 BurdaStyle pattern 05/2016

It good when you can use a delicious sweater to give "new life"😆 The sweater had a lot of bumps, but it's amazing how nice it is on the wrong side!
I have combine my husband sweater with a green jacket that I didn't wear anymore.
The sleeves and the neckline are from another sweater which I like very much! I have used the body of the sweater for an Earlier Project
I think Sara looks fabulous in the dress🍒






The sweater is turned up-side down on the wrong side, and sewn together at the waist of the jacket. I have used transparent rubber-band at the waist to make it fit better.

I'm Happy to share my good singing girl-friend's Coat!
She made the Coat for her own wedding 💕
I met Monica Berge for the first time when I started singing in our choir; Skakkekoret in 2012.
She is an amazing good singer and she sings like an angel💖
- and it makes me Happy that she is willing to share her special project on my blog!

She tells that she had the idea and imagination how the coat should look like  nearly half a year before she started the project. She had planned all the details in her head; -what fabric to use, -how to draw the pattern, -how to make the hoodie, -how far the tow should be, -how to close the coat: with buttons, belt or button hook?

Actually, she had "been sewing" the whole coat in her head 
and bought fabric, and other stuff she needed before she started with the pattern.. 
When the pattern was finished, and when she started sewing,  she said it was easy since she had thought of different solutions for a long time.

She said, everything …

Even though I made a Checked Skirt as a Christmas present for Sara 💕  I liked this fabric so much that I had to make another for my self 😊 For this skirt, I have used the same pattern as I did for the Wool Skirt, which I like very much! But still it was a challenge to fit the checked fabric at the seams, and especially since I cut the fabric on bias. Anyway, I'm very happy how it turned out 😉  


Skirt in progress..
