Ellen's Sewing Passion

Linen fabric is perfect for making pants and vest :) I have used linen with heavy structure, and the garment keeps the shape.  I had to cut all the parts, so I was sure to have enough fabric. The front and back panels are stitched together. I made facing around the front edge and also for the hem of the vest. I have used double layer of soft cotton around the arm holes, and top-stitched. I made button holes and stitched the buttons in place. I also top-stitched around the neck, front-line and hem. I have used Marfy pattern #3247 It's nearly the same as BurdaStyle pattern #120 11/25 As you can see, the pants are very wide, but that's what I like :) I made different pockets for the pants, and therefore I had to change  the pleats in another direction than it shows in the instruction. I tried to show how wide the legs are.. I'm very happy with the result :) BurdaStyle 04/2015 I was wearing my new outfit at "Sildajazz" in my home town Haugesund, together with my lovel...

I fell in love with this fabulous retro fabric that I bought at  Meretes Atelier Lysthuset I have used a combo of two patterns, and I wanted to make a asymmetric collar on the blouse. At first, I made the slits at the back. I stitched the shoulder seams together, and then the collar around the neck. I hand-stitched the seam on the inside. Then I stitched the side seams, - and the short sleeves. I made a little loop for the button at the back. I have used a combination of these two pattern: BurdaStyle 06/2015, and Patrones pattern 06/2015

This is a great pattern from BurdaStyle 10/2015 that I have tried twice before,  and I thought this fabric would be great for another sweater like this. The neck is rather long, but it's going to be close to a double layer. Since the fabric was very delicate, I have to use fastening tape for all the seams. This pictures shows the neck before I have folded it in. BurdaStyle #108 10/2015

This sweatshirt fabric is so nice and it was perfect for a casual Bomber Jacket. I have used white piping for decoration and I think the jacket looks lovely on Sara ♥    Burdastyle pattern #102 06/2015 Thanks BurdaStyle for featuring my project :)
