Ellen's Sewing Passion

I came across this nice pattern in BurdaStyle 01/2010, and wanted to give it a try! I cut all the parts, and made vliseline on the facing. The right upper front is gathered at the side. I stitched the panels together after I had stitched the zipper at the back. Then I added the cap-sleeves. I have used melange jersey, the same as I used for my  Darted dress . BurdaStyle 01/2010

This is a pattern I wanted to make, but not found the right time until now.   I have used double woven jersey. I started sewing the front part from the top. I stitched the skirt together with the upperpart. I used inserts around the neck and sleve holes. This is how the dress looks like on the wrong side of the back part.  The cap-sleeves are stitched in place. The dress is without zipper, so I couldn't put it on my "Primadonna" :) BurdaStyle #122 09/2010

  When I saw this patter in BurdaStyle magazine March -25, I just knew that I had to make it ;)  I have used this wonderful Cotton satin - retro abstract fuchsia, that I bought at  Lysthuset.no The front panels are different. These are the back panels. The facing are hand-stitched to the inside. The upper- and lower panel are stithed together at the same time with the inserts. I stitched the zipper in place at the back before stitching the front and back panels together.   I'm very happy with the outcome💗 BurdaStyle pattern #129 03/2025

This pattern was great to use for a velvet dress! The tapered raglan sleeves are nice for this dress. The back parts are stitched together, and the bust inserts and the side seams. Then the raglan sleeves are stitchet in place, and the facing around the neck. I made the a-line skirt, At first, I stitched the waist band together with the top, - and then togehter with the skirt. The hem is stitched to the inside. I'm super happy with the outcome! :) Burdastyle pattern #112 01/2026
