Ellen's Sewing Passion

I found this fabulous wool-jacquard at  lille-l.no As you can see, it's very nice on both sides, so therefore I chose to make a reversible jacket. This is also an easy pattern from BurdaStyle, but I have omitted the pleats at the shoulders. I have used bindings around the edges and for the sleeve hem. The jacket looks rather big, but the size are very normal. I have used flat-seams for the shoulders and the side seams. I hade to make a long binding. I'm sewing the sleeve binding on one side, and turn it and then topstitching as a finish.   This is the "blue-side" with red flowers. - and this is the "red-side" with blue flowers. To make a flat seam you have to use 1,5cm for the seams.  You cut one of the seam to 0,5cm and the other seam you turn inside and then topstich. BurdaStyle #111 06/2021

I bought this lovely wool jersey at  Lille-L.no    The fabric has two good sides with different colors. Therefore I chose to sew a reversible jacket. I found the pattern at BurdaStyle and it has a scarf that is twisted and looks very nice on  when the scarf is around the neck ofcourse 😅 The jacket is pink on the right side and orange on the reversible side. I have made a "flat-seam" for the shoulders, sides and sleeves. This is how long the scarf is before it's turned around the neck. I have turned the edge twice and stitched nicely. I have cut the binding for the sleeve hem 4 cm wide. This is how the jacket looks like when both of the colors shows. These photos are shown plain colros. - and the back.
