Ellen's Sewing Passion

I decided to sell clothes I made to raise money for our choir, and the choir members thought this was a good idea and joined the catwalk💃 It was a special event for me, and I'm together with Elin that was very happy when she won  the Raincoat  I made when I participated the Norwegian Sewing Bee competition 💛 I'm wearing my  Flower Dress  made of jersey. We open the event with a mini-consert ♫♪ Photographer: Svein-Erik Larsen Our lovely conductor Audny Aasheim. Christine is wearing the  TR Rose Dress  I've made when I join the course by Shingo Sato. Eileen was lovely in the  Ribbed Wool Dress - and Christine shows the  Party Glam  dress🎉 Ruth is wearing an  Adrienne Blouse  and colorful skirt I've made. Signe Britt shows the  Blue Shades  dress that suits her perfect :) Astrid Live is wearing a  Halter Style Dress  and a  Cropped Blazer  in red. The audience was enthusiastic and I appreciate that so many people  enjoyed the evening together with us. Silje is wearing a

I think my sister in law looks lovely in the dress I've made 💙  I have used the same pattern once before and made a  Satin Dress but I prefer a fabric with a bit stretch. The dress is made of jersey blend bought at  Alfatex.de . The dress is gathered under the bust, and I have used woven ribbon on top  of the gathering as a decoration, and the straps are made of the same ribbon. I have used the same pattern once before, but then I made it in satin.  I have to say that it's better in jersey because it's easier to move :)  BurdaStyle pattern #117 05.2008

I made a handbag as a gift when we had a local Catwalk 😊 My model Christine is showing the bag to the audience before we had the raffle. I have used cotton fabric, and volum vliseline to make the bag steady. I chose checked cotton crepe as lining for the bag,  and I made a little pocket as well. . This is the wrong side turning out, and I stitched both the linging and the outside fabric together. I have used a magnetic push-button so it's easy to close and open the bag. The handels for the bag is made of leather that I bought in Copenhagen. I have stitched an outer seam to keep it steady. The patterns is from a book I bought when I had a trip to Japan :)
