Ellen's Sewing Passion

I do love challenges and to try out new patterns :) The pockets for this dress are really nice. Since I wanted a summery dress my choice was  to make it without sleeves, so I made facing instead.    I have tried to show how the pockets are made,  both on the right side and the wrong side. Since I choose to use sport stretch (with the shiny-side in) I had to add invisible rubber-band at the waist to keep it steady.                Burdastyle pattern #104 10/2016 Thanks for featuring my dress BurdaStyle!

I found this nice satin in my stash and wanted to make a summery skirt. Since the fabric was a bit transparent I added lining. It's an easy pattern and the skirt fall nicely since it's cut on bias. I stitched the hem twice so it should look nice.  Burdastyle pattern #122 04/2013

This pattern catch my eyes,  and I knew I had to try it :) I have used striped white jersey, and I think it was a great choice.  It's soft and comfy to wear.  Burdastyle pattern #101 10/2016

This is a great pattern, and I have made two different dresses like this before. The knot in front makes it unique and I think it's a lovely style. I have posted a  Rainbow Dress  on BurdaStyle earlier.  The black  Bomber Jacket  is an earlier project. This is my first dress based on this pattern from BurdaStyle 04/2008. I have combined the red jersey with lilac and black as decoration.

  It's nice to have a long sleeved top on holiday :) Colourful flower jersey are very nice for any garment. This top is gathered both at the neck, in front and at the hem of the sleeves.

The dress based on a pattern from Ottobre 02/2009. Girl's love to wear dresses, so I lengthened the pattern and made a flounce at the hem. It's nice with gathering in front and bias around the neck and sleeves. I had this little "Sweet" sewing mark to make it a bit special.   

Linen dress is lovely to wear on holiday :) I have used a pattern from a Norwegian sewing magazine. I like the A-line shape of the skirt and it's very comfy to wear.

This is a great top for my sister on law. The neck is a bit wide,  but instead of gathering the neck I have made small pleats  sewing together on the wrong side.   BurdaStyle pattern #117 07/2012

    For this T-shirt I have used BurdaStyle pattern #149 11/2012. I like to combined different fabric, and I think this neon green jersey was great to combined with a printed jersey. Burdastyle pattern #149 11/2012
