Girl's Top with Leaves โ˜˜๏ธ๐Ÿƒ

Image
Our granddaughter looked at a patten she liked, and asked if I could make this top for her. I had a small part left of this beautiful jersey after my "Green Shades" Dress . I cut all the parts,  but change the upper front part with black jersey. I had to stitched the bias around the neck before stitcking the front together. Then I stitched around the arm holes before stiching the side seams. Then I stitched the hem with the coverlock machine, and also around the neck and armholes. Ottobre Kids pattern 02/2015

Japanese Button-Up Dress!

This is another Japanese Dress pattern I was qurious to try! I had to cut all the parts on the floor since the dress was rather long. At first, I had to make the tunnel for the ribbon at the back,  and make two button holes for the drawstring. Then I stitched the princess seams both in front- and back panels. I stitched the side-pockets to the panels. I have gathered the front neck. I also stitched the facing for the neck and button-list in place.  The dress has pockets in the side seams. Then I stitched bias around the armholes and turned it to the inside. I stitched the side seams and the pockets together before I stitched the hem. The dress i rather wide without knotting the drawstring. Pattern from the Japanese Style book 2012.

Japanese Blouse-dress!

Image
I love to wear - and sewing with linen! This is a pattern I found in a Japanese style book  that I bought when I were visiting Japan a while ago. I have stitched the short sleeves together and stitched the hem. There's gonna be a buttonlist at the front. On the left side it's gonna be two gathered flounce. Both flouces are stitched in place. Then the double button list are stitched first to the wrong side and then turned to the front and topstitched. The collar are stitched to the outside, and then to the inside. The short sleeves are gathered at the top and stitched in place. The Blouse-dress is finished! I found some nice buttons in my stash! It is quite hare to understand the instructions, so I try my best without reading it :)
