Linen Vest & wide Pants! 🧡🧡🧡

Image
At first, I wanted to make a jumpsuit, but after I cut out the pieces I decided to make a vest and pants insted, so I had to make some adjustments, espesially for the pants. I bought this fabulous linen fabric at Abby's Tekstiler I stitched the shoulderes- and side seams together, and then the facing around the neck and front parts. I used double bias of the fabric and stitched around the arm holes. I had to make a facing for the hem of the vest as well. Then I stitched the pockets in place for the pants.   I also stitched the inserts for the back panels. I made straps and double waistline for the pants. I decided to use a zipper in front instead of buttons as in the pattern. I'm very Happy how the outfit turned out ! :) I bought the lovely buttons in Tokyo when visiting Japan :) BurdaStyle #110 05/2026

Blouse with inserted Sleeves

Image
This colour gives me energy! I love to try out new and unique patterns, amd this was an interesting choise!  I have used chiffon, and since it was very transparent  I decided to make it with a double layer of fabric. These are the pieces for the sleeves. At first, I stitched around the neckline. I stitched the hem for the lapels.   Then I added the sleeves, and they are just amazing!  I'm happy with the outcome :) BurdaStyle #104 04/2026

Easy Top & Skirt!

Image
Jersey is delicious to wear both for the kids and for grown up :)  I traced a pattern of a top that I bought in Japan. The front has pleats at front and the shoulders are a bit low with facing.  This is how it turned out :) Then I decided to make a skirt of the same fabric. This is one piece pattern with a drawstring at the front. The drawstring makes the skirt rather interesting. I have made an Orange Skirt earlier of the same pattern. I'm happy wearing my new outfit on a trip in the nature :) BurdaStyle 07/2014

Jersey Seam Dress!

Image
This is a pattern I wanted to make, but not found the right time until now.   I have used double woven jersey. I started sewing the front part from the top. I stitched the skirt together with the upperpart. I used inserts around the neck and sleve holes. This is how the dress looks like on the wrong side of the back part.  The cap-sleeves are stitched in place. The dress is without zipper, so I couldn't put it on my "Primadonna" :) BurdaStyle #122 09/2010
