Ellen's Sewing Passion

I wanted to buy a fabric with stripes for this pattern,  and my choise was this viscose with cross stripes.    The top and the gathered waist are cut in the right direction of the fabric, but the skirt had to be cut on bias. Therefor the skirt is different in front and back.  I made the double gathered waist first, and stitched it at the waistline. I had to do it for the backparts as well before stitching the zipper in place. This is how the front looks like. Then I stitched the shoulders and the side seams. The short sleeves are made of double layer, so it falls very nicely. I think it will be one of my favorite dresses this summer ☼ BurdaStyle #101 02/2025

  I was so Happy with my  Pink Linen Jacket  that I wanted to use the pattern over again! I had to squees out all the parts since I only bought 1,5m and the fabric was only 1,2m wide. The back panels are stitched together. Then I made the pocets for the front panels. The fake pockets for the upper part are stitched together - with "HOPE" Then the front- and the back-part are stitched together. I tried to make the collar with a smile :)  The collar are stitched to the back and then turned to the inside. I have used microsatin for the lining. I kept one of the side seams open for turning. The cuffs are stitched in place after the lining is made. This is the finish for the waist line. I visited my lovely aunt 🌸 I have used pattent button (denim buttons). BurdaStyle pattern #111 01/2000
