Linen Jacket & Skirt!

Image
When I saw this jacket in BurdaStyle I knew I had to make one! I decided to make the jacket in linen fabric instead of denim, and I think it's a good choise!  The jacket has a lot of panels. I made the pleats in front.  I stitched the pocket flaps in place, before stitchin the upper front parts in place. Then I stitched the back parts all together. The shoulders- and the side seams are stitched together. I made the button-list for the front parts. Then I stitched the collar in place. I have used denim-buttons for the jacket. BurdaStyle 05/2026 Since I had some fabric left, I had enough to make a skirt as well! The skirt has pockets and a pleat in front, and zipper at the left side. So then it's a whole outfit! :) BurdaStyle #113 07/2008

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
