Ellen's Sewing Passion

Since I had some cotton voile left after I made my  Blouse I had enough fabric to make a little blouse for our granddaughter as well 💗 This is a cute pattern with gathering at the waist, and opening at the back. At first, I stitched the shoulds together, then I stitched the facing around the neck. The lower parts are stitched together and gathered, and then stitched together with the upper part.  The sleeves have slit for the opening and a finish with buttons. I have stitched the sleeves together and also the bias at the sleeve hem. The blouse is finished! Ottobre Kids pattern 03/2017

I had some fabric left after I made my Dress with Waves and it was exactly enough to make this blouse for a Cute girl :) I have cut all the pieces. At first, I had to make the flounces for the top. I have stitched them to the front and back panels, and then stitched the side panels together.  Then I stitched a double bias around the neck and turn it to the inside. I gathered the flounce for the top and stitched it in place. The sleeves are gathered and stitched together, and I have used a rubberband at the sleeve hem cuffs. I have used an invisible zipper at the back. Ottobre kids pattern 1/2024

I made a dress for my Lovely Grand daughter💕 of the fabric I had left after I made my  Bow Tank . It's a soft and delicious cotton voile, so it's very nice to wear. The fabric has huge lovely flowers  🌸 I stitched the shoulder seams together. The skirt is gathered. I made a facing for the neck. I stitched a double layer of bias around the armholes, and turned it to the inside, and top-stitched around. I stitched the facing around the neck, and kept an opening at the back. I used snap-fasteners for the opening, and the large heart-buttons as decoration.

  I bought this lovely Liberty cotton voile at Skipper Stoffer in Copenhagen. It's very soft and delicious to wear. I deceided to make a blouse and found a pattern that I have used once before  when I made an  Abstract print Blouse . At first, I cut out all the parts. I have iron vliseline for both the insert at front and the finish for the sleeves. I stitched the upper-part for the neck, and turned it.  These parts are stitched around the opening at the front. Then I stitched the shoulder seams and the neck-band. The sleeve has a lot of pleats that are stitched together. The split for the sleeves are stitched in place. This is how it lookslike. I attatched the sleeve-bands and turned them to the inside, and hand-stitched them in place. The sleeves are attached to the blouse, and the blouse is finished. BurdaStyle pattern #111 06/2019

I had a bit left of the fabric after I made my  Maxi Skirt   so I decided to make a blouse to wear together with the skirt 💛 I had to combine the leftovers with black cotton voile to have enough fabric for the blouse. It was a bit tricky to make the curved yoke at the back. The yoke at the front panels is curved as well. The shoulders and the side-seams are stitched together. The collar and the collar-stand are stitched together.   I stitched the button-stand to the front panels before I stitched the collar in place. I found some nice buttons that was perfect for the blouse :) The pattern is from Bonnie 1/96
