Getting My Eye In

Some of my most successful sewing projects have been made with  Burda Style patterns. But it's quite a while since I used a Burda magazine. It seems impossible that you can isolate one pattern piece when there are a myriad printed on top of each other. But once your eye locks onto a particular line, it jumps out at you and tracing it is not that difficult.

I have also had some failures with Burda patterns, usually due to choosing the wrong size or the wrong fabric. I hope I have it right this time.

  2. I used to enjoy using Burda patterns, because everything fit so well. It's probably been 20 years since I've sewn any clothes.

  4. OMG, it looks more like a map with crisscrossing routes!
    Is that the fabric you're going to use? It's spectacular.

  5. When I learnt how to sew I also used Burda magazines; now I prefer their individual patterns: fewer lines, less trouble!

    1. I agree. But it’s hard to buy patterns in this part of SA.
