Ellen's Sewing Passion

  I bought yellow denim with stretch at  Selfmade.com   and luckily I had enough fabric to make both a jacket and a skirt :) I found a jacket pattern at BurdaStyle easy that I have made before,  and a skirt pattern from BurdaStyle 04/2009 that I also have made once before. At first, I stitched the darts for the front parts.  I made the pocket flaps and stitched them to the front parts. I made button holes as well. The back seam and the side seams are stitched, and also top-stitched. I made the collar for the jacket. - and the collar are stitched to the jacket. I made the double front part for the skirt, and also the button holes. The invisible zipper are stitched, and also shorten as shown. The waistline for the skirt is stitched in place and the side seam are stitched.   I aslo top-stitched the seams for the skirt. Wishing all a Happy Easter 💛🐣 I have used patent buttons for the jacket.   I'm happy with my eater outfit 💛 Burda Easy Fashion BurdaSty...

I can tell, there was not much scrap after I had cut all the pieces.. I started with stitching all the front parts together, and then the back parts. The shoulder- and the side seams are stitched. Then the collar and the facing are stitched in place. I stitched around the collar, and I also stitched in the seamline for the peplum,  so the facing should stay in place.  The cuffs are stitched to the sleve hem, and the sleeves are stitched in place.  I was wearing my new jacket for the first time in my friend's party! The Maxi Dress is an earlier make :) I have used patent-buttons for the jacket. Then I started sewing the skirt 🧡 The pleats are stitched in place, and the darts at the back. I have used...
