Ellen's Sewing Passion

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

This colour gives me energy! I love to try out new and unique patterns, amd this was an interesting choise!  I have used chiffon, and since it was very transparent  I decided to make it with a double layer of fabric. These are the pieces for the sleeves. At first, I stitched around the neckline. I stitched the hem for the lapels.   Then I added the sleeves, and they are just amazing!  I'm happy with the outcome :) BurdaStyle #104 04/2026

  I found this lovely fabric when we visited Tomato store in Tokyo :) I wanted to make a blouse, and thought the blouse pattern  from BurdaStyle in May magazine was a great choise!   At first, I folded and stitched the front parts.  Then I stitched the princess seams, - and the shoulders together. Then I stitched the collar in place, - and the sleeves are stitched toghether with the cuffs as well. I'm very happy with my new blouse, and it gives me good vibes from out Japan trip :) BurdaStyle #116 05/2026
