Ellen's Sewing Passion

I bought this lovely wool/silk fabric when I visited Tallinn last summer.  It's an eye-catching fabric I fell in love with it immediately! I decidet to make a blouse with short sleeves,  and I found this pattern in BurdaStyle Easy Fashion. The blouse has a Peter Pan collar, and all the parts are cut out of the fabric. The back panel, and the front panels have princess seams. I will recommend this kind of scissor to cut notches around the curves. The collar are stitched together and the facing. The short sleeve has to come. Burda Easy Fashion E/V 2015

I made a top with sleeves for this energiczny girl! 😆 I have combined the striped jersey fabric with white sleeves.  The Shorts is from an earlier project. The top are gathered at the front neck and has raglan sleeves.

 Stretch linen is great for sewing a shift dress💚  This is a pattern that I've tried a long time ago, and I wanted to give it another try. I have iron vliseline on the backside of the faciing and pocket flaps, and the bias for the armholes are cut. I stitched the inserts for the back and the zipper in place. The poct flaps are stitched in place. I have used lining for the inner pockets. The side panels are stitched in place. I have stitched the side seams. I hand stitched the hem for the cap-sleeve, and sew buttons as decoration in front. The dress has a split at the back. BurdaStyle Special 12/1991

A jersey top with flower is lovely to wear, and with a matching pair of pants is great :) This is an easy pattern with raglan sleeves.      The front and back part are stitched together. The sleeves are stitched together,  and I also stitch the sleeve hem with a coverlock. The top is finished and ready to wear! Ottobre Kids 01/2024 Then I made the pants. I stitched a seam both at the front and back legs. Then I stitched the waistline and the hem of the legs, and pull the rubber band in the waist. Ottobre Kids 01/2024

  This is a blouse pattern from BurdaStyle 03/20 that I like. I made one for my friend as well. This time I made an alternation fo the short sleeves.  I found this lovely silk fabric on my holiday in Lithuania last summer ☼. I have used cotton voile for the lining. The sleeves are made of two layers and have two darts at the top of the shoulders, and these are stitched 4cm down. I have stitched the lining to the hem of the sleeve. The neck band are ruffled and stitched to the upper layer around the neck. Then I have to stitch the facing around the neck and the short sleeves in place. The blouse looks great together with a pair of black pant or a black pencil skirt. I fell in love with this fabric because of the print :) BurdaStyle #103 03/2020
