Ellen's Sewing Passion

This colour gives me energy! I love to try out new and unique patterns, amd this was an interesting choise!  I have used chiffon, and since it was very transparent  I decided to make it with a double layer of fabric. These are the pieces for the sleeves. At first, I stitched around the neckline. I stitched the hem for the lapels.   Then I added the sleeves, and they are just amazing!  I'm happy with the outcome :) BurdaStyle #104 04/2026

Sometimes I have to use what is left of the fabric, and I was lucky since it was enough to make a shorts! The shorts has side pockets, and I have stitched a seam close to the inner seamline. I made three tunnels for the waist band,  so I have used both a drawstring and two pieces of rubberband. BurdaStyle pattern from 07/2023

Shiny Taft fabric is great for an evening dress! It's "crunchy" and you can here it when you're walking, and it makes you feel special!🧡 The dress has pleats in front, cap-sleeves, and bubble hem.  BurdaStyle issue 08/2007

This is a casual and sporty top. It's a pattern I have wanted to try for a long time, and finally I did! I have used sport stretch, and therefore it looks a bit shiny too :)  BurdaStyle pattern #129 01/2011
