Here are the patterns that caught my eye from this month's Burda. Someone mentioned that this was a sleeper issue (I think it was Angie?) and I have to agree. There's not a whole bunch I think I'll make, although that's a good thing because sometimes I feel overwhelmed by all the great designs I want to sew.
Here's top 102, my favorite from the issue, and looks like it'll be a favorite by many of you as well. I'm certain someone will whip this up and post it any day now. I just love the pleating along the front and waist inset.
I think this wrap skirt 104 just darling, especially in the stripe they've made it up in.
Dress 115 is very simple. I love the cut out in the back and think it will make a great pool cover-up.
That's it! Unless I get inspired by one of you. I do like top 113 but don't see it staying up on me. Okay, I'm off to sleep in my own bed for the first time in 2 weeks. Goodnight!
Welcome back! I agree the June issue doesn't excite me too much either, but I haven't even started on May's yet so thats OK. I like skirt 103 (just a different view of the one you picked) and maybe dress 128 for now, but often patterns take a while to grow on me.
ReplyDeleteWe might share a brain. I *just* posted about that #102 top. I made it yesterday. Unfortunately, the fabric wasn't helping so it'll be a wadder. I am planning on doing it again.
ReplyDeleteThose are the exact patterns I thought I would try and make for my daughter. But first things first have to finish her sisters wedding dress. I started a blog come take a look if you have a minute.
ReplyDeleteGlad you're back! I have been reading your blog for a few weeks now and love all of your work. Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteThat "hole" dress is wonderfully classic and cute. I bet it would look great on you.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to your BWOF pics. I agree that this June issue does not have a lot to offer. Also, I agree that it's a good thing as I, also, have lots of design ideas in process. I do like top 102 and might do that one. Welcome back!
ReplyDeleteWelcome back, Amanda. I agree whole heartedly about the new BWOF issue. Not a whole lot of excitement in that one. I too like the picks you've chosen. I would add only one other design - #120, bermuda shorts. I do LOVE the cocktail dress #116, but am not petite/half size (bummer).
ReplyDeleteGave you a lovely blog award at http://catsandcalico.blogspot.com/.
