Ellen's Sewing Passion

This is a pattern that really catched my eye! I like to challenge myself, and the lapel collar is a bit tricky to make, but this time I'm very happy with the outcome :) I have used light weight denim with a little stretch. I started with makeing all the inserts for the upper part. Then I stitched the the front and back panels together. This is the facing for the collar. I stitched the lower part to the collar before stitching the collar together.  I have also made a "fake" pocket on the left side. Then the skirt is stitched together with the upper part. I'm very happy with my new dress ☺️ BurdaStyle #111 12/2025

I bought this nice Linen/Viscose fabric at  Abby's Tekstiler I wanted to make something nice and found a pattern in a Miss B magazine from 2/94 :) I have used the same pattern once before when I made a  Short Vest with Printed letters I had 2 meter of the fabric, and had to squeeze it to get enough since the vest is rather long.  I stitched the inserts for the back panels,  and stitched the back seam together, and the upper back panel in place. I made the pockets and iron vliseline for the top that is folded. The pockets are stitched in place. The collar is stitched to the vest, and then the facing to the collar and the sides. I stitched a seam around the collar and the sides. I also stitched the hem and the slits to the inside.   Miss B (today it's called BurdaStyle Easy Fashion)

  Fabric with printed letter is one of my special favorite! I had some fabric left after I made a  Summer Dress ,  and it was enough to make a vest :) I have stitched the back-yok to the lower part, and stitched the darts as well. The collar is stitched together. I iron vliseline on the wrong side of the facing,  The shulder- and side seams are stitched together. The collar is stitched in place. The seam allowance for the upper collar and neck is iron to the inside  and the other seam allowance are stitched together. The lapel collar are finished.  At first, I stitched a double layer of fabric on the right side around the arm holes, then I stitched close to the seam, and turn it inside and stitched around the arm holes. I found some nice buttons in Copenhagen :) Miss B 02/1994
