Weeee! I did it! I manage to squeeze a skirt out of the same fabric!😂 I choose a "crossover" pattern from the same BurdaStyle issue. It's an easy pattern, and I think it goes very well together with the short jacket.   I have used a little hook on top of the invisible zipper, and I have stitched an inside seam close to the waistband.

I'm so Happy that I finally got to make something from the last  December issue of BurdaStyle! 😊 I wanted to make an easy garment, but all of a sudden I change my mind  and wanted to try this jacket pattern.  I bought the fabric for making a coat, but then I realize it would be "to much" It's a heavy jersey fabric, and normally I would go for a fabric without stretch  for a jacket like this, but anyway it feels good to wear.  I started drawing the patterns right before Christmas, and I was so eager to start sewing..  It's the first time I have been sewing a dart with inserted pocket, but I managed...    I  have used micro satin for the lining.

  This is one of my favorite Colors which I love! 💗 I'm always curious to try new patterns, and this was no exception... The pleats in front, both for the top and the skirt makes it unique and special. I like this style and it's perfect for any occasion.  It's an easy pattern, but I think it is important to use a steady jersey. I have used medium weight courtelle jersey, and I'm Happy with the outcome 😊                                  Burdastyle pattern #113 10/2018

 Another great fabric from the Sewing Bees visit to St Petersburg 😉 When I buy fabric I usually have an idea what to sew,  but normally I'm ending up sewing something quite different than I thought... Anyway, I was lucky to have enough fabric for both a blouse and capris. I followed the instruction for the blouse,  and it's the first time  I have made  this kind of split at the front.  It was a little challenge to make the rouleau loops and the underlap on the other side, and thereafter cut the slit open, but I managed!   Burdastyle pattern #117 07/2018       I started with the pattern for the "Slight flare Trousers" because I wanted to have pockets with the pleat decorations at the sides. While I was sewing the trousers, I thought it would be nice finish the legs with ties instead of flare, so therefore it's a combination of the both patterns. I'm really happy how it turned out 😄     ...
