Ellen's Sewing Passion

I travelled to Stavanger with my friend and of course we found som very nice fabric :) I decided to make a dress I saw in BurdaStyle 02/25,  but since I had more fabric left I made a cardigan as well! I have used the cardigan pattern once before when I made my Wool Cardigan . The fabric is black on the wrong side, and it's a bit heavier than normal jersey. I stitched the darts on the back panels, and also the facing for the back-neck. The sleeves are short. This it the upper layer of the front pantel. I had to stitch the upper-layer panel together with the under-layer.  BurdaStyle #110 02/2025 These are the parts for the cardigan. The princess seams are stitched together, and the collar are stitched in place. Then I stitched the sleeves together with the cardigan. and I found some nice buttons in my stash :) BurdaStyle pattern #113 03/2025 I was wearing my dress when we had a birthday party for a friend :)

  I bought some nice quilted sweatshirt fabric and thought it would be nice for a sweater. I found a BurdaStyle pattern from 2022 that I wanted to try. I like esesially the wide sleeves. At first, I stitched the zipper at the back, and stitched the panels together.  I shorten the zipper as you can see on the picture. The shoulder seams are stitched, and the facing around the neck. Then I made the cuffs and gathered the sleeve hem to the same wide. Then I stitched the cuffs in a double layer for the sleeve hem. The side seams are stitched, and the sleeves are attatched. The sweater was a great match for my dress that is made of the same fabric. The shoulders are very low for the sweater. BurdaStyle 11/2022

I wanted to make a simple dress to have at the office.   Since I had this quilted sweatshirt in my stash, I decided to use it. Since I wanted to make the dress without sleeves, I made facing for the neck and the armholes. I stitched the zipper at the back before I stitched the shoulder- and the side seams. The facing around the neck and arm holes are stitched in place. BurdaStyle #105 09/2025
