Ellen's Sewing Passion

Jacket with two different Sleeves! This is an origami techniquie that I have used both for sleeves and a body. You can use the pleats up-folded up like here or down-folded, so there are two different choices. This is the pattern on the right side, - and on the wrong side. The pattern is folded up and cut with 0,5 cm seams. The pattern is folded on the fabric, and then sewn one fold at the time. To make a two different color sleeve you have to sew the fabric toghether first  so you know where the pattern should be. This is the wrong side when the pattern is folded.  The sleeve is ready to be sewn toghether. Both sleeves is finished, and I have used the same pattern. I made the front with a pocket for the jacket.  The sleeves are sewn toghether. Collar has to come. Jacket is finished and I think is will be nice to use when the weather is getting warmer! It's a vintage pattern from Miss B 02/1992.

Short sleeve Jacket with two different Origami techniques 🧩 VORTEX SHORT SLEEVE ORIGAMI I started with drawing the lines where I'm going to fold the pattern. Triangles are inserted and the pattern are put together. This is how the pattern looks like on the right side - - and on the wrong side. The sleeve is sewn together. POCKET ORIGAMI Pattern is finished and cut out. This is going to be three differnet pockets (the green once) The foldings are in place and ready to be sewn. I have put pencils in the pockets to show where they are. I found a BurdaStyle pattern I wanted to use to make a jacket. I decided to use cotton voile as lining since the white cotton fabric is transparent, but not for the sleeves. BurdaStyle #101 05/2008

  This is a jacket I made to match the  origami Dress  💙🧡 I start with drawing the pattern and make origami pleats. This is how the patten looks like when it's folded on the right side, and on the wrong side. The sleeve pattern is ready to be cut out of the fabris. After I have fold the pleats it's ready to be sewn together. Then it's finished and sewn together as a jacket sleeve. Then I split the pattern and combine two different colors. Then you can easily see the foldings. My choice is to make a colorblocked jacket for the dress I made earlier. I'm very Happy with the outcome! 😄 I found the pattern in "my library" #411 Bonnie 01/1996
