Jacket & Pants for a Sweetieđź’“

Image
  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...

Girl's Jersey Dress đź’“

Image
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 fabricđź’“    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 adorableđź’– If she like, she can use it as a nightgown.   Ottobre Kids 1/2024

New born clothes đź’“

Image
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 clothesđź’ť 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 prinsessđź’– 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

Kimono Dress - Coat 🌸🌸🌸

Image
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 outđź’— The Dress-Coat is finished, and I'm very proud of the result :) BurdaStyle
