Ellen's Sewing Passion

  The kids love to wear jersey! I had a bit left of this print jersey after I made a shirt for a boy, so I couldn't let it go. I think it was nice to combine the fabric with red viscose jersey for a girl💖 At first, I stitched the top together, and then gathered the skirt for the dress.  I made bias around the neck of the same fabric. She loves the Ugly-bird fabric as well :) The dress is rather wide for the skirt, but thats nice. I didn't have to make an opening at the back since the fabric is stretchy. I found the pattern in an old Burda for Kids. This is a picture of the long sleeve shirt I made earlier.

I don't know how many times I have used this pattern, but like it a lot! The fabric I had left after making the  Dress for Holiday  was exactly enough to make this Tee. I stitched the shoulder- and the side seams. The facing is iron with vliseiline, and I have used the serger around the edges. I stitched the facing on the right side, and then I stitched very close to the seamline, so it should stay in place. Then I fold the facing to the inside. The short sleeves are very cool.  I stitched the sleeves together and turn the hem to the inside, and stitched them with the coverlock. The shoulders are gathered, and I have used a ribbon to keep the gathering in place. As a finish, I stitched around the neck. The skirt is from an earlier project . BurdaStyle pattern 03/2022

I found this fabulous jersey at  Stoffdronning.no and guess who fell in love with it 😁 Instead of sewing a seam for a split at the back, I decided to make a split with a button. Then I stitched a bias around the neck, and turned it to inside, and top-stitched. The sleeves are made of double layer, and they are gathered at the top layer. The sleeves are stitched in place. - and the dress is finished. I made a hook for the button.

I was lucky to have exacly enough fabric to make this blouse  after I made the  Japanese Dress with Gathering .   I found a BurdaStyle pattern from 2008 that I have tried once before. The sides have panels that are gathered. The blouse has zipper in the front. The back panels are gathered as well. This is the panels after the side seams are stitched together. The short sleeves has rubberband in the midle of the hem. The sleeves are stitched in place, - and the collar.  Then I stitched the hem to the inside. 2008 #104 Burda 07/2008
