Summer sewing vol.3

Summer arrived in Finland a bit late this year. Whole july was nicely cold and now in august we have to deal with unpleasant warmth. ;) A true Indian summer. Despite of weather I have had a great summer spent with my dear family and friends. I haven´t get to sew as much but I hope autumn will arrive soon and sewing in a cooler conditions will be more pleasant. :)

My first leggings! A great pattern from the book The Great British Sewing Bee- Sew your own wardrobe. Sewn on Bebe, waistband and hem on Cornelia. Made in velvet jersey fabric.

Another leggings made for my friend using shiny jersey fabric. 

Capri trousers made in slightly stretchy woven cotton fabric. Pattern is from the book The Great British Sewing Bee- Fashion with fabric. These trousers are very comfy. I plan to make another pair slightly shorter. I already have the fabric for them! ;)

Pastel yellow blouse with buttoned sleeve in woven cotton fabric. Pattern is from Burda 6/2015 magazine. 
A detail of the button-band.

Interesting collar.

Matching skirt with side-button opening. Pattern is from the same magazine.

Can be worn as a set or separately. I loved sewing these, it was great fun!

Men´s shirt made in woven cotton fabric. Pattern is from the book The Great British Sewing Bee- Sew your own wardrobe.
