Ellen's Sewing Passion

  This is a pattern that I really wnated to try! I like this style of handbag because it's perfect when travelling,  and then you have space for a lot of things.  For making the sides stiff enough I have used thick paper,  and I just made a template and cut it out. I made a pocket with zipper for one side of the lining, and a bigger and a smaller for the other side. I decorated the zipper with some nice charmes. I also made a pocket for the outside with a magnetic snap button. I have used red piping and I also decorated one side with some silk-band.  I bought a Japanese Handbag-book when visiting Japan :) I made the handbag to match with my outfit💓

  I was so Happy with my  Pink Linen Jacket  that I wanted to use the pattern over again! I had to squees out all the parts since I only bought 1,5m and the fabric was only 1,2m wide. The back panels are stitched together. Then I made the pocets for the front panels. The fake pockets for the upper part are stitched together - with "HOPE" Then the front- and the back-part are stitched together. I tried to make the collar with a smile :)  The collar are stitched to the back and then turned to the inside. I have used microsatin for the lining. I kept one of the side seams open for turning. The cuffs are stitched in place after the lining is made. This is the finish for the waist line. I visited my lovely aunt 🌸 I have used pattent button (denim buttons).

This is a Great pattern from BurdaStyle Februar issue that I wanted to try! I love fabric with printed letters ♥ I have cut both the cotton fabric and lining. First, I stitched the front and the side-front together.  I made the parts for the welt pocket with flaps.   This is my first time trying to make a welt pocket with flap! It's not so easy to see the pockets since the fabric has printed letters. I stitched the collar and the collar-stand together. I also top-stitched both side of the seam. The collar is stitched in place. I stitched the facing for the front parts and around the neck. Then I stitched the sleeves in place. I made "fish-sleeve" for the shoulders. Then I stitched the lining together. I bought some nice buttons at  Selfmade.no The sleeves has buttons as well :) BurdaStyle #120 02/2025
