Ellen's Sewing Passion

I made an outfit for our new grandson! 🥰🩵 This is the pieces for the shirt, - and for the pants, and the little hat :) At first, I stitched the sleeves tohether with the front- and back parts. I stitched the ribbet jeresey around the edges. The shirt is closed with a ribbon under the sleeve.  I made an easy pair of pants with foots that is nice when you are very small.  The hat is stitched made in two layers. Then stitched tohether with a layer in the middle. I made an opening for turning. Then it's finished :) BurdaStyle 01/2024

I bought this sparkling jersey in Copenhagen! I thought it would be a great choice for a young girl. I had to stitch the sides together before the hem. I have used vliseline for the facing. The hem for the cap-sleeves are stitched as well. I stitched the seam at the front, and stitched the edges to each side for the draw-string. Then I stithced the facing in place, and top-stitched around the square neck before stitching the cap-sleeves in place. She loves jumping on the trampoline :) BurdaStyle #125 05/2024

This is a pattern I was curious to try when I first saw it in BurdaStyle for September. I have always wanted to make a denim jacket, and the sleeve makes it very unique! The skirt is from an earlier post:  Think Pink  💗 As you can see, the sleeves is rather cool :) I stitched the inserts for the front parts. Then I had to stitch the shoulder and the side-seams together. The pocket flaps is top-stitched and button holes in place. I stitched the button-lists, the facing and the hem in place. The collar and the button-holes are made. Then I stitched the sleeves together, and made the opening for the cuffs. I top-stitched the seams before stitching the sleeves together. Then the sleeves are stitched in place. I'm Super Happy how the jacket turned out 😄 I used patent buttons for the jacket. BurdaStyle pattern #111 09/2024

I wanted to surprice a girl with this dress for her birthday 🎈 It's a great pattern that I found in Burda magazine for May, and I have used double woven jersey. The dress has rubber-band at the front. - and the facing is stitched with a seam close to the seamline. The sleeves are gathered at the shoulders, and has rubberband as a finish for the sleeves. I have used the coverlock for the hem, or you can use a double needle. I will recommend to overlock the hem before stitching it in place. BurdaStyle #124 05/2024  

This is a blouse pattern I wanted to try 😊 It's special since it's gathered around the neck. I found the nice viscose fabric in a local shop close to where we live. I thought it would be great together with jeans. The button-list are cut seperately.  The sleeves are rathe wide at the hem, but with a nice finish with gathering. I have gathered the back of the neck, and also on both sides before sewing the collar in place. I attacehed the button list before sewing the collar. The collar is attached to the collar stand. The sleeve cuffes are gathered and attatched to the sleeve cuffs. The blouse is finished :) It's eaier to see the gathering at the neck when you're lifting up the collar.
