Ellen's Sewing Passion

Our son and daughter in law got a new baby-girl a few days ago, and I wanted to surprice the parents with som newborn clothes💝 At first, I started to make a little wrap top. I made the finishing around the edges with the same fabric. The top has two snap-buttons for the inner layer, and ties at the other side. The baby is a cute little prinsess💖 Then I made a wrap body with long sleeves. I also used the same fabric as finishing around the edges. The body has snap-buttons for the inner- and outher layer. Then I made a little trouser with foot. This was very fast to sew toghether with no buttons or rubber-band. I think is rather cute :) BurdaStyle 01/2024

I love Flower fabric and it makes me thrilled and Happy 😄 It's not often that I choose to make pleats like this.. The top has bust pleats, but I decided to stitch them as darts instead.  I have stitched the collar stand and the collar to the top. Then I stitched the side the waist band. I made a double layer of waist band so I could have one as a facing as well. Then the side seam with invisible zipper and the sleeves are stitched together. I have used viscose fabric so the skirt flows very nicely. The cuffs are curved and only one button close to the connecting seam. I like the pleats very much :) BurdaStyle pattern #101 01/2024
