Ellen's Sewing Passion

I bought this fabulous melange jersey at  Meretes Atelier Lysthuset and thought it would be great for a jacket and pants for a little girl🩷 At first, I made the jacket. It has side pockets, and zipper in front. I used ribbed jersey around the neck, for the fininsh of the hem and the cuffs. BurdaStyle 05/2018 The pants have back pockets, and I used a template to make round corners. The front panel has no seam in front. I have used rubberband at the waist, but not at the bottom.

I wanted to surprice this girl for her birthday, and made a top of the leftovers after I made my  Knotted Dress , and I made a denim jersey pants with wide buttom as well. The top are gathered at the shoulder seams, so it's a nice effect. I made a facing around the neck, and stitched an inner seam. Theb I stitched with a double needle around the neck, sleeve hem and hem. The top is finished :) Pattern from Ottobre Kids 04/2009 The patnts has back-pockets with narrow seams as decoration. The pockets are stitched in place. The back parts has lower gathered bell-bottoms than the front parts. The front pockets are gathered and have bias-band as a finish.   Pattern from Ottobre Kids 04/2009

The pattern is from BurdaStyle easy 2012, and are still one of my favorite. I've made an  Elephant Shorts  of the same pattern that I'm wearing together with  my top with rubberband. I bought the fabric on my holiday and it was just a small piece, but it was exactly enough to make a pair of shorts. The pleats and the front pockets are stitched in place. Then the incerts and the back pockets are stitched in place. The parts are ready to be sewing together. The back- and front parts are stitched together, and then the botgh legs are stitched together. The waist band are stitched on both panels before sewing the invisible zipper in place. Then the side seams are stitched together and the facing for the waist-band. At last I stitched the hem, and I also stitched a seam to fasten the waist-band. I...

I was happy that I had enough fabric to make s pair of shorts after I made  my Blazer . This is a pattern that I have used several times before,  but if you like, you can see an earlier post when I made a  Shorts for summer . I started with making the front side pockets. Then I made the zipper fly. The back pocket flaps are just for decoration,  but I have made button-holes and used a jeans snap fastener. Burda Easy summer 2009 I have used the blazer  a lot since it can be worn together with many colours.
