Ellen's Sewing Passion

This was a very interesting patter! It's like a cape on top of the top :) I did'nt want that to have the top very short, so I cut the back panel a bit longer. After I tried it, I have to cut the extra off again.. I started with stitching the bust inserts for the front panel. I made the slits for the back panel, and folded the pleats. The pleats are stitched in place. Then I stitched around the neck for the facing, and stitched a double layer of fabric around the arm holes, and turned it to the inside.  At first, I tried to have a rubberband at the waist, but I liked it more without. I think the back looks incredible :) BurdaStyle #113 03/2026

This is an easy, but supercool sweatshirt to wear :) When I saw the pattern in BurdaStyle I just knew that I had to make it! I found this nice jersey in a local shop in Stavanger. The fabric had a stripe in the middle so I could use as a finish for the waist and the sleeves. I had to gather the waist and the sleeves before attaching the the double layer. This is one of my favorite color, and I love how it turned out :) BurdaStyle pattern #102 02/2026

This is another project I made when I attended the course by Shingo Sato. This is how I started with making the pattern. The patten is finished and folded. I use cotton fabric so I can see wher the pattern is folded. I stitched the folds in place. Then the panel is finished. Then I can make a jacket or a blouse :)  

  I made this romper for our sweet grandson for Christmas. Together with these parts I had to cut the wrist- and leg ribbon.  The zipper has to come. I also made a double layer of fabric around the neck. Ottobre kids pattern.

Our sweet granddauhter loves getting new clothes, espesially dresses💝  I found this fabulous cotton fabric in my stash that I bought to make lining for a coat :)  I started with the upper part and made the collar. I made the skirt and the sleeves, and bought some nice pink buttons. She was so trilled when she got the dress and swirled around😄 BurdaStyle Kids 1/2024
