Ellen's Sewing Passion

This is a pattern I have tried before when I made another  Ribbed Wool Dress ,  but this time I wanted to make the dress without gathering shoulders. Also this time, I made a Midi-Dress. I have cut the sleeve with gathering only where the cuffs are connected. I have used ribbon at the shoulder seam, and vlieseline around the armholes. The neck are made of double layer of fabric. I made the cuffs with double layer. BurdaStyle #111 10/2021

  This dress is made of tweed fabric with sequins. It is perferct to use with a blouse or a top underneath, and also with a jacket if you like :) It' a good to wear this time of year and when it's cold outside. I have combined these two patterns: 2010_Burda easy fashion # 6C 02.2010 2008 #106 Burda 09.2008

This is a pattern from BurdaStyle November -23. I liked the detail with the collar, and decided to try the pattern. The dress in the magazine is made with viscose fabric,  but I have used Merinowool that is great this time of year! For the collar I have used courtelle jersey that's a bit steady than normal jersey. At first I stitched the inserts at front panel. The collar is sewn together with two layers, and then I attatched it to the V-neck. The finished collar looks like a suit jacket collar.  Then I stitched the facing around the neck. I inserted side-pockets at the side seams. Sleeves has to be attatched. I used a double needle to finish the sleeve hem and th hem of the dress. It's a very cozy dress and I love to wear it, both in the office and at home :) BurdaStyle pattern #125 11/23
