Denim Dress with flounces!

Image
I fell in love with this pattern, and wanted to make the dress for a birthday girl💖 I have used denim linen that are very soft an delicious to wear. I stitched the pockets for the front parts first. Then the front parts are stitched together, and also top-stitched. The zipper is stitched in place at the back seam. The flounces are stitched at the top of the shoulders, and I made to layers of flounces. Then I had to make the facing for the upper part. The facing are stitched around the arm-holes and around the neck. Then the side seams are stitched, and the dress is finished :) She is a Cutie and loves to play 😊 The hem for the flounces are stitched with narrow zig-zag. Ottobre kids 01/2024

Dress with Stripes!

Image
I wanted to buy a fabric with stripes for this pattern,  and my choise was this viscose with cross stripes.    The top and the gathered waist are cut in the right direction of the fabric, but the skirt had to be cut on bias. Therefor the skirt is different in front and back.  I made the double gathered waist first, and stitched it at the waistline. I had to do it for the backparts as well before stitching the zipper in place. This is how the front looks like. Then I stitched the shoulders and the side seams. The short sleeves are made of double layer, so it falls very nicely. I think it will be one of my favorite dresses this summer ☼ BurdaStyle #101 02/2025

FUN - Print Jacket!

Image
  I was so Happy with my  Pink Linen Jacket  that I wanted to use the pattern over again! I had to squees out all the parts since I only bought 1,5m and the fabric was only 1,2m wide. The back panels are stitched together. Then I made the pocets for the front panels. The fake pockets for the upper part are stitched together - with "HOPE" Then the front- and the back-part are stitched together. I tried to make the collar with a smile :)  The collar are stitched to the back and then turned to the inside. I have used microsatin for the lining. I kept one of the side seams open for turning. The cuffs are stitched in place after the lining is made. This is the finish for the waist line. I visited my lovely aunt 🌸 I have used pattent button (denim buttons). BurdaStyle pattern #111 01/2000
