Ellen's Sewing Passion

This is an outfit I'm gonna love to wear! I have made several blouses of the same BurdaStyle pattern,  and the Flower blouse is one of them with hi-low hem.  I was curious to try the pattern for the trousers, and it was rather interesting :) I made the pleat for the back part and stitched the yok together with the lower part. I have iron the button lists with vliseline and then to the inside.  The hem is turned and stitched to the inside before stitching the side seams together. I made a double yok, so it looks nice on the inside too. The collar are stitched together,  - and then stitched in place on the blouse. I made the slits for the sleeves before stitching the cuffs together. The blouse is finished. I have uses some nice transparent buttons that I bought in Tokyo. You can see the hi-and low hem, and that's what I like a lot! BurdaStyle #111 02/2020 I have used linen fabric for the pants, and I stitched the insert at the back  and the side pockets in place ...

This is a blouse pattern that I fell in love with. I made my  Japanese fabric Blouse  earlier with the same pattern.  This is a delicious cotton fabric from Liberty bought at  Stof2000.dk that I couln't resist💗 I made the pleats for the front- and back panels. The shoulder- and side seams are stitched together. I made the double button list with button holes. Then I top-stitched the button list. I stitched the collar to the collar-stand, and then around the neck. I made the slits for the sleeves, and then the cuffs. I bought the lovely buttons in Japan :) I love to wear this soft and delicious blouse. It's easier to see the pleats on the blouse from the side. I'm wearing the blouse with my  Linen pants  that I made some years ago. BurdaStyle #116 05/2026

I bought this wonderful silk fabric to use as lining for a jacket,  but I thougt it was to nice to use as lining, so I have saved it for a while. When I found this blouse pattern from BurdaStyle I thought would be great to use! At first, I stitched the bust dart. The shoulders are stitched together. I used a double layer of fabric as bias around the neck. Then I gathered the shoulders and stitched the sleeves in place. Since the sleeves are wide at the hem, they are not quite long. The shoulders are gathered. I had to make a seam at the back in lack of fabric. BurdaStyle pattern #111 08/2020
