Ellen's Sewing Passion

I wanted to make another vest after I made the  White Linen vest  and pants :) I think it's very nice with white top stitching for denim.  I was lucky to have enough fabric left of this soft denim fabric  as I used for my  Wrap Dress with Collar At first, I made the princess seams in front, - and then at the back. I iron vliseline of all the facings, and then stitched it in place. Then I top-stitched around all the edges, - and made button holes. I found some nice denim buttons in my stash that I like very much. I have used Marfy pattern #3247, - but BurdaStyle pattern from magazine 11/2025 is very similar.

Linen fabric is perfect for making pants and vest :) I have used linen with heavy structure, and the garment keeps the shape.  I had to cut all the parts, so I was sure to have enough fabric. The front and back panels are stitched together. I made facing around the front edge and also for the hem of the vest. I have used double layer of soft cotton around the arm holes, and top-stitched. I made button holes and stitched the buttons in place. I also top-stitched around the neck, front-line and hem. I have used Marfy pattern #3247 It's nearly the same as BurdaStyle pattern #120 11/25 As you can see, the pants are very wide, but that's what I like :) I made different pockets for the pants, and therefore I had to change  the pleats in another direction than it shows in the instruction. I tried to show how wide the legs are.. I'm very happy with the result :) BurdaStyle 04/2015 I was wearing my new outfit at "Sildajazz" in my home town Haugesund, together with my lovel...

           I have waited for the right moment trying out this Marfy pattern.  It's from the catalogue 2014/15.             It has a nice square neck and to pop it up I've used the technique with peter ribbon.                 Black linen is great sewing with, and it makes it special with the back length a bit longer  than in front as well. I wasn't sure to put on the short sleeves, and I think it was nice without as well,  but then I can use it even if the weather is a bit colder :)
