Ellen's Sewing Passion

  I found this lovely fabric when we visited Tomato store in Tokyo :) I wanted to make a blouse, and thought the blouse pattern  from BurdaStyle in May magazine was a great choise!   At first, I folded and stitched the front parts.  Then I stitched the princess seams, - and the shoulders together. Then I stitched the collar in place, - and the sleeves are stitched toghether with the cuffs as well. I'm very happy with my new blouse, and it gives me good vibes from out Japan trip :) BurdaStyle #116 05/2026

I fell in love with this pattern from BurdaStyle 03/26. I wanted to make a similar colore as in the magazine,  and I bought satin fabric in a local fabric shop.  I cut all the pieces,  - and started with the inserted pockets. I stitched the shoulder and side seams. The pleats for the lower part of the sleeves are stitched together,  then folded in half and stitched to the inside. The sleeves and the collar are stitched in place. The zipper and buttons are stitched, and the jacket is finished! I have covered two of the upper buttons with the same fabric. I'm super Happy how the jacket turned out! :) The finish of the sleeves are very decorative and I like it a lot! BurdaStyle pattern #115 03/2026

This is a dress I'm sure the little princess gonna love🐷💓 She is very found of Peppa pig :) I have cut the parts of the fabric, but I had to combine it with  white linen fabric for one of the layers.  I started withe the slits at the front opening. Then I stitched the collar in place, before I stitched the short sleeves and the skirt on the dress. Then the dress is finished. Burdastyle Kids 01/2024
