Ellen's Sewing Passion

Our grand daughter loves to play and is full of ablegoys 😂   I thought she would be happy with this sweater and she wanted to wear it right away :) This is a panel I bought, and combined it with whit sweatshirt fabric. The neck- and sleeve band are bought at a web-shop.  Ottobre Kids Fashion 01/24 I have knitted a hat and kindergarten mittens as well💖

This pattern was great to use for a velvet dress! The tapered raglan sleeves are nice for this dress. The back parts are stitched together, and the bust inserts and the side seams. Then the raglan sleeves are stitchet in place, and the facing around the neck. I made the a-line skirt, At first, I stitched the waist band together with the top, - and then togehter with the skirt. The hem is stitched to the inside. I'm super happy with the outcome! :) Burdastyle pattern #112 01/2026

  I found this fabulous sweatshirt fabric with flossy inside on  Lysthuset.no I think it will be delicious to wear at wintertime❄️ At first, I cut all the parts for the jacket. I started with the pockets, and have stitched a cotton fabric as lining  before stitching the ribbet fabric at the pocket opening. Then the pocket are stitched to the front parts. The shoulder- and side seams are stitched before  I sew the ribbed jersey as a finish for the hem. Since the fabric is very heavy, I cut one part of the seam off, and then stitched the seam flat. The same I had to do for the hoodie. I stitched the hoodie in place before the front zipper. Then the sleeves have to be stitched on the jacket. I also decided to cover the inside zipper. Ottobre Kids pattern 06/2012 In lack of fabric, I had to make two parts for the back panels. Ths pockets are a nice detail that I know she gonna like :) I decided to use the same ribbed fabric for the waistline and for the finish at the leg...

Our little granddaughter loves to wear dresses, and since I had enough fabric after I made the newborn set for her little sister, I was sure she would be trilled to have a dress of the same fabric💓    The skirt is gathered at the waist, and I cut it as long as I could of the fabric.  The top is with raglan sleeves, and I have used the same fabric around the neck.  She put on the dress right away :) I think the fabric print is adorable💖 If she like, she can use it as a nightgown.   Ottobre Kids 1/2024
