Ellen's Sewing Passion

I had exacly enoug fabric to make a short jacket for a girl after I made my Colorful Fluffy Dress - and this fabric makes me in a Good Mood! The parts are cut out, but since the fabric is rather light I decided to make lining for the jacket as well. I stitched the welt flap to the front part. The pocket parts are stithced close to the pocket line. I cut between the marked line, and pull the pocket parts to the wrong side. Then the pocket is stitched together.  The welt pocket is stitched to the front panel.  The ribbed jersey collar is attached at the neckline. The lining are stitched in place, - and the zipper is attatched. The sporty girl is very happy with her new jacket! 😊 BurdaStyle Kids 03/23

  I wanted to join the #SewAprilBlous24 hosted by Ruan and Gabriella on Instagram. So this is my version :) I had to find fabric that goes well together,  and I found these in my stath. I had more linen fabric left after I made the White Party Dress , so I thought it would be great together with the flower- and the striped fabric. I had to cut facing for the lower part of the blouse,  - and stitch it together first, before I attached it to the upper part of the blouse. The back part,  and the front parts are finished. This is how it looks like. Then I stitched the collar and collar-stand in place. I made button holes as well. I'm happy how the blouse turned out :)

When I saw a picture of the back og this dress,  I just had to make one! The pattern looks very easy, but it will be change during the sewing. I have stitched the inserts, but need to make the lining before  stitching the marked line you see if you look very closely. I have stitched the inserts for the front part as well. The shoulders are stitched together and  I have made rouleau button loops at the back. I stitched the inserts for the lining as well.  Then the lining are stitched together with the top. I have cut several notches in the curves. The top is ready to be stitched together with the skirt. This is the front of the dress, and the invisible zipper are at the back.  The lining are stitched together with the skirt befor stitching the top and the skirt together. I'm very Happy how the dress turned out! I found the pattern in an old BurdaStyle magazine from 07/97. Me and my husband in the hotel elevator :)
