Merry Christmas every one  ♪♫ A wool dress is fabulous to wear when it's getting colder, and I love these long cuffs to cover my wrists! They will keep me warm in the office! This is an easy dress to make, but it's so comfy to wear. I have used ribbed wool jersey, so the fabric is a bit heavy. With a colorful scarf or belt it will be freshed up, or simply wear it plain. It's the sleeves that makes the dress special. BurdaStyle pattern #111 10/2021

I'm so Happy with the wool fabric from  Rainbowtekstil.no It was perfect for making tops and blouses! This is a pattern from BurdaStyle 01/21 that I used once before to make  Brown Blouse I like the special detail with the tie at the neck. I have change the sleeves with the same sleeves that I used to make the  Wool Top with Flowers and it was a great choise for this fabric. I'm sure that I will gonna wear it a lot this winter!❄ The knot are loose and you just pull it over the tie. The sleeves are gathered very closely above the cuffs and at the shourlders.

I found this fabulous wool-jacquard at  lille-l.no As you can see, it's very nice on both sides, so therefore I chose to make a reversible jacket. This is also an easy pattern from BurdaStyle, but I have omitted the pleats at the shoulders. I have used bindings around the edges and for the sleeve hem. The jacket looks rather big, but the size are very normal. I have used flat-seams for the shoulders and the side seams. I hade to make a long binding. I'm sewing the sleeve binding on one side, and turn it and then topstitching as a finish.   This is the "blue-side" with red flowers. - and this is the "red-side" with blue flowers. To make a flat seam you have to use 1,5cm for the seams.  You cut one of the seam to 0,5cm and the other seam you turn inside and then topstich. BurdaStyle #111 06/2021

You can never have enough Adrienne tops!  My lovely model Sara with a black one ♥  I simply love this pattern and it's so easy to make both in one color or color-combinations! The Skirt  is from an earlier project. You can eather use the top inside the skirt or outside if you prefer. Friday Pattern Company

  An easy jumper is great to have, and specially made of wool for winter time!  I love the to cover my wrists so I'm not feeling cold at work, and I'm soon back again after my holiday.. The roll neck and the puff sleeves are a great wow effect.  The sleeves are very wide because of the gathering at the shoulders,  and it's perfect together with the narrow cuffs.

I found this lovely cotton fabric in a local store synytt.no  in my home town Haugesund. I thought it was perfect to make a holiday dress! The dress has rubberband both at the front-neck, at the sleeve hem and at the waistline. I like the skirt when it is a bit wide at the hem.  I'm very Happy with the dress 😄
