Ellen's Sewing Passion

This little girl know what she like! She had to choose between to cotton fabric, and this was the one she wanted :) I combined the melon-fabric with white jersey for the upper part. The skirt is gathered at the waist and at the shoulders. She was so Happy when the dress was finished 😊 The sleeves have rubber-band as a finish at the sleeve-hem. The dress has a little slit at the back of the neck, and I had used a snap-button.   Ottobre Kids pattern 04/2023

I found a new sewing magazine when I visited Poland, and this is one of the pattern I had to try. It's a wrap dress, but I decided to cut the front skirt as one part. I decided to make short sleeves since it's a summer dress. The facing is stitched together and I have iron vliseline on the wrong side. The front shoulders are gathered to match the back-part. The short sleeves are gathered at the shoulders as well. The skirt is rather wide, but I have a rubber-band at the waist.

  The baby-girl is Happy with her new outfit 😄 I had a bit left of this beautiful flower fabric after I made a Top for another Sweetie . I found some grey jersey to combine with,  so I had enough fabric to make a top and leggings.  I didn't have any ribbed fabric, so I used the same jersey around the neck. I have made to button-holes for the left shoulder, so it's easy to take off and on. I also had to make the waist-band and the finish for the legs with the grey jersey. She loves to play with her trolley 😉 Both pattern from Ottobre Kids 4/2023

  I bought this lovely Liberty cotton voile at Skipper Stoffer in Copenhagen. It's very soft and delicious to wear. I deceided to make a blouse and found a pattern that I have used once before  when I made an  Abstract print Blouse . At first, I cut out all the parts. I have iron vliseline for both the insert at front and the finish for the sleeves. I stitched the upper-part for the neck, and turned it.  These parts are stitched around the opening at the front. Then I stitched the shoulder seams and the neck-band. The sleeve has a lot of pleats that are stitched together. The split for the sleeves are stitched in place. This is how it lookslike. I attatched the sleeve-bands and turned them to the inside, and hand-stitched them in place. The sleeves are attached to the blouse, and the blouse is finished. BurdaStyle pattern #111 06/2019
