Ellen's Sewing Passion

I found a new sewing magazine when I visited Poland, and this is one of the pattern I had to try. It's a wrap dress, but I decided to cut the front skirt as one part. I decided to make short sleeves since it's a summer dress. The facing is stitched together and I have iron vliseline on the wrong side. The front shoulders are gathered to match the back-part. The short sleeves are gathered at the shoulders as well. The skirt is rather wide, but I have a rubber-band at the waist.

It's not often that I use Patrones pattern,  but I found this magazine when we were visiting Germany. I love this beautiful viscose, and it was the last piece I had left after I made my Flowery Dress .  At first, I stitched the shoulders and the sides together. I made a yok for the inside as well,  even though it was not in the instruction. The collar is stitched together,  and the collar stand. The collar is stitched in place and also the short sleeves. The blouse was a great match for my  Orange Skirt  :) Patrones pattern 02/2024

I had a bit left of the fabric after I made my  Maxi Skirt   so I decided to make a blouse to wear together with the skirt 💛 I had to combine the leftovers with black cotton voile to have enough fabric for the blouse. It was a bit tricky to make the curved yoke at the back. The yoke at the front panels is curved as well. The shoulders and the side-seams are stitched together. The collar and the collar-stand are stitched together.   I stitched the button-stand to the front panels before I stitched the collar in place. I found some nice buttons that was perfect for the blouse :) The pattern is from Bonnie 1/96

  This dress is made of the same pattern as I used for  my  Dress made of Scarf , and I really like this style! I think this will be one of my favorite dresses! I started with making the skirt for the dress. This is without any zipper. I stitched the collar for the top of the dress. I cut a lot of notches around the curve, and then I hand-stitch the inner collar in place.   The top just need to have button-holes for cloing. The button hole is made and the buttons are in place.  I made the slits for the sleeves. I made the cuffs with the flounces. The cuffs are hand-stitched in place on the inside. The cuffs have two buttons for closing. This is my new name-tag :) The dress is finished - and I'm very happt with it ! The dress is rather wide at the waist, so it's easy to take it on and off. I have also used a belt at the waist to cheer it up :) Patrones pattern
