Ellen's Sewing Passion

This is a dress I'm sure the little princess gonna love🐷💓 She is very found of Peppa pig :) I have cut the parts of the fabric, but I had to combine it with  white linen fabric for one of the layers.  I started withe the slits at the front opening. Then I stitched the collar in place, before I stitched the short sleeves and the skirt on the dress. Then the dress is finished. Burdastyle Kids 01/2024

I bought only one meter of this viscose fabric from  Abby's Tekstiler.no   and I thought it will be nice to make a blouse with short sleeves. The pattern is from BurdaStyle 7/2005, and I have made a  Flower Blouse  once before. The back seam, princess seams, shoulder- and side seams are stitched together. I stitched the collar, and then the facing around the neck and for the button list. Then I made the lining and the ribbon for the waist. The short sleeves are gathered both at the hem and the shoulders. Then the sleeves are stitched to the armholes. BurdaStyle pattern #107 07/2025

I wanted to make a new dress to wear at the office, and I thought this pattern was a great choice. I found the fabric at  Lysthuset.no  and it's cotton with some stretch. It's a pattern that I have tried once before when I made a  V-Neck Blouse , but this time I wanted to make a dress. I started with the insert for the V-neck in front. After stitching the sides, I gathered the bottom. The sleeves are rather wide, and gathered before connected to the cuffs. It's not so easy to see the result of the gathered neck,  but I'm satisfired with how it turned out. BurdaStyle 03/2021

Since I had more fabric left after I made my Blouse , I could make a blouse for this sweet girl as well. This is the upper part when I have connected the short gathered sleeves. The blouse is crossing in front.  Then the bottom at the back is gathered and stitch together with the upper part.  I have used cotton voile as bias around the neck. Then I stitched the bottom together upper part of the front.  The blouse is finished :) Ottobre kids fashion 3/2023
