Ellen's Sewing Passion

I'm always curious to try new patterns, and this jacket pattern catched my eyes! I stitched the inserts for the shoulder at the back-, and the inserts for the front panels. Then I stitched the shoulders and the side seams. I stitched the sleeves together, and attatched them to the jacket. Then I stitched the facing around the neck and the sides, with attatching the tie at the front. I decided to cover the edges with a diagonal band. I have used micro-satin as lining for the sleeves, and linen for the rest. I stitched the lining for the sleeves together.  This is the jacket on the wrong side. BurdaStyle #114 07/2025

I was lucky to have exactly enought fabric to make a skirt after I made the jacket. This is a skirt pattern that I really like, and have used it over and over again,  like the  Yellow Skirt with Black piping The skirt has pleats in front and nice pockets. I have used the same piping for the waistband as for the jacket sleeves. The Chiffon Blouse is from an earlier project. The zipper is on the left side. It's a great outfit for business and pleasure 🌸 BurdaStyle pattern #113 07/2008

I've had this lovely jacquard fabric in my stash for a while,  and I found the right time to make a summer jacket 🌞 I found the pattern in BurdaStyle 07/22 and I think it's an elegant style  with flounces and piping at the sleeves. I started with sewing the inserts, and the pockets.  Pocets are in place, and the sleeves to come. I chose to use silver piping at the sleeve flounce. I made the flounce double, so it will stay very nicely. I chose to use yellow micro satin for the lining. Jacket is finished and I'm looking forward to wear it 🌸 BurdaStyle pattern #118 07/22
