Ellen's Sewing Passion

I had just a half meter of this funny fabric and thought it would be nice for a skirt. I've made another Skirt  of the same pattern earlier, so I know it's a great pattern. I started with stitching the pockets to the front panel. Then the other part of the pocket. I connected the upper waist panels and stitched the invisible zipper in place at the back. The side seams are sewn and the facing for the waist, and at the end the hem is stitched. Black & White is nice to wear with a lot of colours,  so I'm sure the skirt will be worn a lot! The skirt has a double layer for a "flyer" at front and two buttons as decoration. BurdaStyle pattern #112 05/2019

  This is a shorts pattern that I like a lot! The shorts have pleats in front and side pockets,  and it has back-pockets as well. The unvisible zipper are at the left side. The pattern is from BurdaStyle easy 2012, and are still one of my favorite. I've made an  Elephant Shorts  of the same pattern that I'm wearing together with  my top with rubberband. I bought the fabric on my holiday and it was just a small piece, but it was exactly enough to make a pair of shorts. The pleats and the front pockets are stitched in place. Then the incerts and the back pockets are stitched in place. The parts are ready to be sewing together. The back- and front parts are stitched together, and then the botgh legs are stitched together. The waist band are stitched on both panels before sewing the invisible zipper in place. Then the side seams are stitched together and the facing for the waist-band. At last I stitched the hem, and I also stitched a seam to fasten the waist-band. I...

I had more fabric left after I made the Flowerful Dress , and it was great for this pattern! The fabric is light cotton and it's delicious to wear :)  I have cut out all the parts, and I'm always curious how it will turn out. The back seam are stitched with long stitches, so it's easy to open afterwards. The ruffles are stitched around the neck. The short sleeves are stitched in place, - and the layer for the slits are stitched on top of the seam before I open the seam The dress were perfect to wear on a hot sunny day ☼ BurdaStyle pattern #113 02/2021

The girl knows what she like! She was happy that she could choose fabric from the web, and tell her gandma' what she want! Of course it has to be a sparkling fabric✨  I made a  Velvet Dress  with bows of the same pattern earlier. The upper part are gathered at the seam in front. I have used the same fabric on the wrong side for the bias around the neck. The long sleeves are gathered at the lower seam as well.   I have used invisible rubber-band at the waist line to gather the skirt.   Then the bows are made. I have hand stitched the bows in place and used sparling stones  in the middle of the bow as decoration.  Ottobe kids pattern 06/2012

I've had this fabric for a while and thought it would be great for a blouse, but I've not found the right pattern to use until now. The blouse has V-neck and are gathering under the bust. The 3/4 wide sleeves are gathered at the shoulders as well. It has a zipper at the back, but I could take it on and off without using the zipper. In fact there is an easy instruction in the magazine for this pattern at BurdaStyle 02/21.  All the pattern parts are cut out. I started with sewing the shoulders together. I stitched the facing around the neck and connect the lower parts to the upper parts. Then I stitched the zipper in place and connected the sleeves. The blouse is made of light cotton fabric and is very fluffy to wear  when the weather is sunny and warm :) BurdaStyle pattern #111 02/21
