Ellen's Sewing Passion

This is a quick and easy project to make! This is the second one after I make the petrol one  :)   I have drawn the pattern from a top I bouht in Japan. The top has pleats in front, but not in the back. The shoulders are wide and the facing for the short sleeves are included.  I have used a bit heavy jersey for the top.

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

Jersey is delicious to wear both for the kids and for grown up :)  I traced a pattern of a top that I bought in Japan. The front has pleats at front and the shoulders are a bit low with facing.  This is how it turned out :) Then I decided to make a skirt of the same fabric. This is one piece pattern with a drawstring at the front. The drawstring makes the skirt rather interesting. I have made an Orange Skirt earlier of the same pattern. I'm happy wearing my new outfit on a trip in the nature :) BurdaStyle 07/2014

I bought this cute fabric at  Rainbowfashion.no and I was sure that our granddaughter would like it :) I have used the same pattern as I did for the  Christmas present . Since I made the dress with jersey, I have omited the pleats at the front. I started with making a split at the back of the neckline. I cut it open, and turned it to the backside, and then stitched around the split. The short sleeves are pleated at the shoulders and gathered at the sleeve hem. I stitched a ribbon of the same fabric around the neck. The dress has an A-form that the girl likes :) Ottobre Kids pattern 06/2011

I have used heavy jersey for this pullover. It's a bit shorter in front that at the back. The pattern is rather cool, but as you can see,  I have iron a little vliseline in the corner, where I'm supposed to cut I forgot to take picture when sewing this pullover,  but it was rather quick for sewing together. The pullover was a great match for my  Pants with Slits Burdastyle pattern #102 01/2026
