Vintage Dress 🎵

Image
When I first saw this dress in the BurdaStyle magazine for February, I knew I wanted to make one! The upper part is the most interesting with the dress  and it reminds me of one I made when I attend the origami course.  The darts are not stitched together, but folded in place, and I also fold the other pleats on to of the other. The darts are stitched for the back parts. I cut the lining for the upper part, and fold- and stitched the darts. The shoulder seams are stitched together and I stitched around the neck, and then close to the seam.  Then I do the same with the arm holes before stitched the side seams together.  The pleats for the skirt is layed in the right direction and stitched to the waist. Then I sew the side pockets in side-seams. I had to shorten the skirt by 10 cm since I had only 2 meter of the linen fabric. I have used an invisible zipper at the back. I made the belt for the dress as well, but I need to find a nice belt buckle first. BurdaStyle...

Flower Blouse 💙

Image
I love both the color and the delicious quality of this fabric,  and I was lucky to have enough to make a blouse. I found a pattern in BurdaStyle from 2005 that I wanted to try over again.   The back-parts where stitched together. I gathered the short sleeves at the hem and stitched a ribbon for a rubber-band. The shoulders and the side seams are stitched together. I stitched the collar in place. The button-holes are stitched in place. I stitched the princess seams at the front parts. - and then the facing around the neck and the opening in front. I folded the ribbon for the sleeve-hem to the inside, and stitched on top of the sleeves into the seam. The sleeves are stitched in place. The waistband with the tie is stitched to the hem of the blouse, and folded to the inside and top-stitched in the seam.  The buttons are in place. - and the blouse is finished!

Yellow & Black Outfit 💛🖤

  This girl loves clotes like her grandmother :) She has decided both the pattern and the color that she wanted. I made the sweater very quickly on the serger, and forgot to take picture on the way. Since this is a ribbet jersey, I could use the same fabric  both for the waist, cuffs and around the neck. She also wanted to have a pair of pants, and I cut it and stitched it together very easily. She was very happy wiht the outcome :) Both pattern from Ottobre Kids 1/2024
