Japanese Top !

Image
This is a quick and easy project to make! This is the second one after I make the petrol one  :)   I have drawn the pattern from a top I bouht in Japan. The top has pleats in front, but not in the back. The shoulders are wide and the facing for the short sleeves are included.  I have used a bit heavy jersey for the top.

Top for my African Skirt!🤩

Image
Since I had more African cotton fabric left I could made another top for my skirt :) The top has pleated front I stitched the front and back panels together. I wanted to use the fabric stripes as sleeve-cap.  I found out that I had to make a split in the sides for the cap-sleeve. I stitched theese small parts on each side of the front- and back panels. Then I turned them to the wrong side, and stitched the cap-sleeve in place. - and the top is finished! I'm very happy with my new top,  and it's great to wear toghether with white pants as well :) I have used buttons at the back. This is how the top looks like together with the skirt. I have used this pattern from BurdaStyle  #130 12/2013 as basic for the top.

Linen Culottes!

Image
  I'm always curious to try out new patterns, and this was no exception! This is the wide of the hem :) Since the linen fabric waa a bit transparent I had to make a lining for the upper part. The Silk Blouse is an earlier project I made. I'm very happy with the outcome and the culottes are very comfortable to wear. The drawstring on the sides are just for decoration :) I think this is just an amazing pattern! BurdaStyle #107 04/2026

Jersey Dress with Wrap Top!

Image
I came across this nice pattern in BurdaStyle 01/2010, and wanted to give it a try! I cut all the parts, and made vliseline on the facing. The right upper front is gathered at the side. I stitched the panels together after I had stitched the zipper at the back. Then I added the cap-sleeves. I have used melange jersey, the same as I used for my  Darted dress . BurdaStyle 01/2010

Soft Cotton Blouse 🌸

Image
This is a blouse pattern that I fell in love with. I made my  Japanese fabric Blouse  earlier with the same pattern.  This is a delicious cotton fabric from Liberty bought at  Stof2000.dk that I couln't resist💗 I made the pleats for the front- and back panels. The shoulder- and side seams are stitched together. I made the double button list with button holes. Then I top-stitched the button list. I stitched the collar to the collar-stand, and then around the neck. I made the slits for the sleeves, and then the cuffs. I bought the lovely buttons in Japan :) I love to wear this soft and delicious blouse. It's easier to see the pleats on the blouse from the side. I'm wearing the blouse with my  Linen pants  that I made some years ago. BurdaStyle #116 05/2026
