Ellen's Sewing Passion

I bought this cute fabric at  Rainbowfashion.no and I was sure that our granddaughter would like it :) I have used the same pattern as I did for the  Christmas present . Since I made the dress with jersey, I have omited the pleats at the front. I started with making a split at the back of the neckline. I cut it open, and turned it to the backside, and then stitched around the split. The short sleeves are pleated at the shoulders and gathered at the sleeve hem. I stitched a ribbon of the same fabric around the neck. The dress has an A-form that the girl likes :) Ottobre Kids pattern 06/2011

This is a pattern I have tried before, but I think it's very nice for a girl. I have cut all the parts in linen fabric, and the ribbon for the neck is cut on bias. At first, I stitched the shoulders- and the side-seams together. Then I stitched the front pocket in place. Then I stitched the ribbon around the neck and the arm-holes. I made a little loop for the button, and also on the inside. Ottobre Kids pattern 02/2009

I bought this nice Linen/Viscose fabric at  Abby's Tekstiler I wanted to make something nice and found a pattern in a Miss B magazine from 2/94 :) I have used the same pattern once before when I made a  Short Vest with Printed letters I had 2 meter of the fabric, and had to squeeze it to get enough since the vest is rather long.  I stitched the inserts for the back panels,  and stitched the back seam together, and the upper back panel in place. I made the pockets and iron vliseline for the top that is folded. The pockets are stitched in place. The collar is stitched to the vest, and then the facing to the collar and the sides. I stitched a seam around the collar and the sides. I also stitched the hem and the slits to the inside.   Miss B (today it's called BurdaStyle Easy Fashion)
