Ellen's Sewing Passion

For this jacket I have used two different origami techniques: 1. Petal origami on the right sleeve and 2. Pocket origami for the right front. Both origami techniques I have learnd by  TR Cutting School  🙏 I start with drawing the lines where I'm gonna insert the triangles. This is how the pattern look like when it's finished. When putting the pattern together, this is how it's going to be. I have choose to use yellow cotton fabric because this color makes me in a Good Mood! I cut it out and fold it, sew it, adn then it's finished.  Pocket for the right front part. This is how the patten looks like when it's finished. You can see how it's gonna be after folding it together. Front part is sewn together, and you can put a pencil in the pocket 😊 I cut out the other parts for the jacket. The peplum below the waist was to wide, so I had to adjust it a bit. To make nice curves it's important to cut small notches. The front part,  - and the sleeves are finishedl.

It's always nice to use "leftovers" and make them useful! I have combined three different sweatshirt fabric to make this jacket. I chose lemon yellow as a pop-up color to make the jacket "Happy"😄! Since I also had a yellow zipper it was a great choise! The pocket are stitched on the front panels, and I used yellow tread  as decoration for the seams. The sleeves got an asymmetric line in lack of fabric :) It's a busy Boy 😄 Ottobre pattern 06/2012  

  This top is made of a pattern that I like a lot! I have made  Crazy fabric Top  earlier 💥 I like the style and the fit is very good with the gathering at the waist. It's easy to combine with different colors and fabric. I had exactly enough of this lovely flower fabric and thought it would be  very nice together with plain black jersey. I have used bias around the neck with a double layer of jersey.  BurdaStyle pattern #113 11/02018
