Ellen's Sewing Passion

Linen fabric is perfect for making pants and vest :) I have used linen with heavy structure, and the garment keeps the shape.  I had to cut all the parts, so I was sure to have enough fabric. The front and back panels are stitched together. I made facing around the front edge and also for the hem of the vest. I have used double layer of soft cotton around the arm holes, and top-stitched. I made button holes and stitched the buttons in place. I also top-stitched around the neck, front-line and hem. I have used Marfy pattern #3247 It's nearly the same as BurdaStyle pattern #120 11/25 As you can see, the pants are very wide, but that's what I like :) I made different pockets for the pants, and therefore I had to change  the pleats in another direction than it shows in the instruction. I tried to show how wide the legs are.. I'm very happy with the result :) BurdaStyle 04/2015 I was wearing my new outfit at "Sildajazz" in my home town Haugesund, together with my lovel...

  This is a fabulous pattern from BurdaStyle that I had to try! At first, I stitched the back panels together.   Then the upper back panel. I made the pleats for the right front panel. The collar are stitched together with the collar-stand. Then the collar are stitched in place. I made the sleeves with sleeve cuffs. Since I have used denim fabric with stretch  I had to stitch a double layer of fabric where I was going to nail the buttons. I have used denim buttons that I think is very nice. The dress is finished :) I have lengten the dress with 10cm. BurdaStyle pattern 112 05/2026
