Ellen's Sewing Passion

Repost of a wool jacket I made earlier.   This is my lovely singing friend ♪♫ who is the owner of this jacket now 😉 I have used denim jersey for the sleeves and collar to make the jacket more interesting. The buttons are covered with the same wool fabric. The style is A-line with patch pockets. Pattern from Miss B, BurdaStyle 1991

If you still love the dress, but not want to use it as a dress,  then it's easy to cut it apart and make a top. I love to wear long sleeves when it comes to autumn and winter time, so I have made the top with wool sleeves from a sweater that I used to make  a  Refashion Dress  earlier. The Skirt is from an earlier project.

I love to use leftovers and it gives me a good feeling :) This is the fabric I had left after I made a  Dress with Knot I have combine transparent net-jersey together with the flower jersey. Even though I didn't have more flower jersey I think it was a good combination. I have also combined two different pattern that I had in my "pattern-library". The pattern is from Burda Special #816 2000

  Lucky Boy wearing his new Skate Jacket! He didn't know that I made this jacket, so it was nice to surprice him 😄 I found the fabric in a local store in our hometown. I have combinded green ribbon jersey as lining for the hoodie, for the cuffs and the hem. - and of course the jakcet needs to have pockets! I have used a zipper that can be opened both from the top and the bottom, and that's a nice detail for a boy :)  I think the hoodie is nice with the green lining. He practising some karate.. The jacket is made for a 9-year old boy, so I could use my "Prymadonna" as mannequin :) Pattern from Burda Easy Kids 01/22

  I love Crazy fabric and this is no exception! I have made several Adrienne blouse's before both for me and my friends and I love this style. I have also tried to combine different fabric for the body and sleeves, like this one with Chiffon Sleeves. The pattern is the same both for the front and back, but I have adjusted the back neck to a straight line. The sleeves has rubberband at the shoulders and at the sleeve hem. I'm wearing my new Linen Pants together with Adrienne Blouse. Adrinenne Blouse from Friday Pattern Company.

It's funny when you can use scrap to make a nice top for relaxing!  This is definitive a good use of leftovers!😉 I chose to fold the bias for the V-neck in front. I had to sew a lot of pieces together for the back.

Kids love to wear jersey and it's so delicious to wear 💚 Gaming printed jersey is great both for a T-shirt and a pair of shorts. I have combined the fabric with black jersey and out grandson has been wearing the set a lot! The Tee has raglan sleeves. Ottobre Kids 03/2021 Pockets are always great to have!  Ottobre Kids 03/2021
