Baby's Suspender skirt 🌻

Image
I bought this nice fabric from a sewing friend at FB. I thought it would be great for a suspender skirt for our granddaughter. Maybe she will be interested to work in the garden at a very early age 😉 I tried to cut the pockets so the flowers should be seen. The pockets are stitched in place, but you have to look very closely. I have to cut two layers for the upper part, and the front pocket is in place. The skirt are sewn together and gathered at the front. - and the front part with suspenders are stitched together. Enjoying the nice weather ☼ I have used suspender clips, but I made button hole  for buttons so the suspender can be regulated. 

Stipes for ever!💗💙

  Stripes are always fun for sewing - even though you have to stitch the seams very carefully together..  I made a TR dress for an  Insta Story  with the same fabric earlier. I started sewing the shoulders toghether, then the neckband and the side seams. I stitched the side seams with narrow stitches on the sewing machine  before stitching them toghether with the overlock machine. A cool girl need a cool top 😄 I made the cuffs of ribbed jersey as well.

Tailored Collar!

  I learned how to make an origami tailored collar when I attend the origami course hosted by Shingo Sato.    At first I had to make the pattern.   The drawn lines are inserted with pleats. Then you have to make it in fabric. It's best to use cotton, then it's easy to see how the pleats are going to bee.   The challenge afterwords was to make the collar integrated instead. This is how it was supposed to be, but it was a bit tricky.

Blouse with Triangles 🔺🔻🔺

I'm a bit crazy when it comes to fabric... 😆 This is a fabric I won in a sewing competition, and decided to make a blouse. I have used the same pattern for my  Music Blouse  earlier. At first, I made the inserts at the upper front panels,  and then stitched it together with the lower panels.  The double layer for the buttons are stitched in place. The back-panels are stitched together with the pleats in place.  The collare and the collar-stand are attatched  to the blouse. The sleeves are attatched,  and the button-holes and buttons are sewn. The blouse is based on BurdaStyle pattern #105 04/2018

Scuba Flowers! 🌺

Girl's favorite Jacket!  Scuba is a great fabric for a jacket.  All the pieces are cut and ready to stitch together. I have iron vliseline for the front- and back facing, and also for the pocket-welt.   I started with sewing the welt to the marked pocket line. I stitched the pocket parts to the front line as well. Then I cut the hole to drag the pockets part through. The pockets are stitched together. I stitched the zipper and the neckband in place. Then I stitched the facing before stitching the hem in place. The sleeves with the cuffs are stitched in place. I decided to change the zipper puller to a nicer one. The gils is very happy with her new jacket :) Pattern from BurdaStyle Kids 03/2023
