Ellen's Sewing Passion

MEMBER MODEL CHALLENGE BY BURDASTYLE
I love challenges and had to try this pattern! My choose of fabric is stretch crepe from Jersey Fashion and that it was not an easy choice...
I had to hand-stitch around neck with gathering, sleeves, hem and slits.
Anyway I managed at last, and I'm happy with the outcome :)

I'm wearing my royal blue lace blouse which is sewn of lace I bought from alfatex.de  I have used sport-stretch as lining, and with the bottoms at back it's like 60's style :) The skirt is made of wool fabric from janusull.no Both patterns are from BurdaStyle.

We should be wearing light denim and white top for our concert this year. Since I didn't find anything nice in my wardrobe I decided to make a new skirt. I love to wear linen garments, and since I had this nice fabric which I bought at  Skaar Tekstil I thought it would be great for this occasion. The pattern is from Burda Easy Fashion 2007.

Our choir; Skakkekoret are singing at Skånevik Fjordhotell

This is a fabric that makes me in a good mood!
I have used the same pattern as for the Striped Summer Dress, but this is a bit shorter. It comfy to wear with the gathering at the sides and back part. I think the dress is nice and a bit special with the cut out back :)

BurdaStyle pattern #107 04/2017

This is a super silk-top! I had some silk fabric left from an earlier project which I thought would be nice for this top. Since I didn't have enough, I have combined it with satin for the back part. It will be nice to wear under a blazer, and both with a skirt or jeans:) The Skirt is from an earlier  project.
