Ellen's Sewing Passion

I love to wear a cardigan over a dress or a top without sleeves. This is for sure a pattern I'm going to use over again! I have used wool jersey and it's very delicious to wear :) I like that the pattern is a bit curved. To make the shoulder stick in place, I use a special ribbon for jersey as shown, Another tip is to cut just a small jack at the seam and bend it over. Then the seam isn't so thick when top-stitching the hem. The collar is in place. I bought some nice buttons in Copenhagen that was great for the cardigan. I'm wearing my cardigan together with my  Pinky linen Jacket BurdaStyle pattern #113 03/25

I was going to give away this blanket,  but then I realized that I could make a jacket of it instead:)  I found a pattern in my collection and cut all the parts. I could were it on both sides,  but choose to have the white with blue pattern. The sleeves and the side seam are stitched. Then I stitched the waist and the collar. I thought the collar was very big, so I made it shorter. I have used crochet hook for the finish around the collar and the front, so it's similar as the original at the sleeve hem and the waist.
