Ellen's Sewing Passion

I had a little fabric left after I made a blouse earlier, and it's a very nice cotton fabric. I had to cut the button list as a separate part. I also had to cut small parts, and stitch together for the collar. At first, I stitched the buttonlist at the front parts, then the shoulders- and side seams. I stitched the collar together, and stitched it in place. I top-stitched the collar and the front, and made button-holes for the butons. Patrones Extra no.36 04/2014 BurdaStyle pattern #125 05/2010

I bought only one meter of this viscose fabric from  Abby's Tekstiler.no   and I thought it will be nice to make a blouse with short sleeves. The pattern is from BurdaStyle 7/2005, and I have made a  Flower Blouse  once before. The back seam, princess seams, shoulder- and side seams are stitched together. I stitched the collar, and then the facing around the neck and for the button list. Then I made the lining and the ribbon for the waist. The short sleeves are gathered both at the hem and the shoulders. Then the sleeves are stitched to the armholes. BurdaStyle pattern #107 07/2025

This african print catched my eyes, and I thought it would be nice for childrens clothes :) I decided to make a dress for our granddaughter, and found a pattern in a Patrones magazine.   The dress has a phone-pocket and that was a new detail I had not tried to make before. The upper part is asymmetric, and therefore the skirt is asymmetric as well. Instead of a double layer of fabric I made a facing for the neckline and the armholes.  I stitched the princess seams and the side seams before stitching the facing in place. I attached the skirt and the phone-pocket. I have tried to show how the phone pocket is when it's flat and open. The phone-pocket is on the left-handside. The dress is finished, and I hope our 3-years granddaughter will love it😊 Patrones extra 04/2014
