Ellen's Sewing Passion

  Everyone likes to wear wool clothes in wintertime! I have bought this fabulous Jacquardquality wool at  Janus.no   It's a blend of 80% merinowool and 20% polyamid. At first I made the top with long sleeves. Then I made the pants. The black one is made for another boy that are older. He got pants as well :) Both patterns are from Ottobre Kids fashion.

I found some printed denim fabric in my stash and thought it would be geat for a shirt. I have combined the denim with jersey that was a perfect match.  The pattern pieces are cut out, and the facing for the front is included in the pattern. Since I have used jersey for the pocket,  I needed to pin it very carefully so it would stay in place. I think I manage very well. The yok is fasten to the back part and the shoulder seam is stitched. The collar is stitched together.  - and stitched in place. I hand-stitched the collar in place on the inside. The shirt has slits at the side-hem. He wss happy with his shirt and was wearing it right away :) Ottobre Kids fashion

It makes me Happy when the kids love the clothes that I make 😍 I had a piece left of denim jersey and some small pieces of the checked fabric. This is left overs from a  Dress I made  earlier. At first I had to stitched the facing for the front panels and the left side pocket. The pleats at the back are layed in the right direction, and the back-yoke is stitched in place. I stitched an inner yok as well. The short sleeves are stitched together and the sleeve hem is stitched. I made the collar and the collarstand, and stitched on top of the facing. The sleeves where stitched in place and the hem. BurdaStyle Kids 1/24

I made a shirt with short sleeves for this Superboy. This is great for holiday and for a boat-trip :) All the parts are cut out, and I had to iron vliseline under one of the collar, and the button-stand. I have tried to match the pattern with the front pocket and at the front parts as well.  The shirt has only a collar without collar-stand, so it's easy to sew. I found some shirt-buttons that was a great match. The boy was very happy with his new shirt :) Ottobre pattern

  This little Cutie 💙 wanted to have a shirt with cars 🚓🚕🚗 and he was so Happy when he got this shirt 😃 I choose to use red ribbon as a finish around the neck and cuffs. Cute boy 💙 Ottobre Kids 01/2012

A fancy shirt with tractors or cars are boys favorite! There is a lot of nice fabric for the kids and it's hard to choose sometime, but usually I know what they like 😊 The tractor-shirt is made with long sleeves combined with a plain color around the neck. For the car-shirt I used another color both around the neck and as finish at the sleeve hem. I have used a pattern from Ottobre Kids.
