Ellen's Sewing Passion

Our son and daughter in law got a new baby-girl a few days ago, and I wanted to surprice the parents with som newborn clothes💝 At first, I started to make a little wrap top. I made the finishing around the edges with the same fabric. The top has two snap-buttons for the inner layer, and ties at the other side. The baby is a cute little prinsess💖 Then I made a wrap body with long sleeves. I also used the same fabric as finishing around the edges. The body has snap-buttons for the inner- and outher layer. Then I made a little trouser with foot. This was very fast to sew toghether with no buttons or rubber-band. I think is rather cute :) BurdaStyle 01/2024

I have been to Japan several times, and I fell in love with this coat pattern when I saw it, but unfortunately it took a while before I found the right fabric and moment to make it. I have used double-sided chinese brocade and black linen for the other parts.  - and microsatin for the lining. I used underlayer (vliseline) on both the upper part and  the facing of the black linen so it should be stiff enough. The upper part of the black linen are stitched to the front and back panels. The sleeves are stitched together on the one side,  and the the lower part of the lining that are made of linen. The sleeves looks very nice. This is the lining for the coat. I have used black painted snap-buttons. I'm very Happy with how the project turned out💗 The Dress-Coat is finished, and I'm very proud of the result :) BurdaStyle 

I wanted to surprice out granddaughter with this lovely sweatshirt sweater💜 The fabric is rather cool with flowers in the middle and white on the sides. Therefore I used the whtie part for the long sleeves. I hope she will be happy with it :) Ottobre magazine 01/2024
