Up first in this cute skirt 107. I love everything about it and the back is just as fun as the front. And y'all know I adore all that topstitching, right?
This next one is top 117. I already have a semi-shear light pink on pink polka dot fabric in the stash that I think would be perfect for this design. Except I think I'll add an elastic casing around the waist for some definition, then wear it with a skinny belt.
I can't resist this feminine little jacket with ribbon and bows for trim right above the pockets. I'm thinking the gray wool also already in my stash would be nice, with maybe black velvet ribbon for the trim. Although I'll have to check first and make sure it's not too scratchy.
And lastly I really like the skirt from this duo, 121. If my scanner was working I'd show you a picture of the back. It's got a triangular yoke and center back seam under the bottom point. I love the front as well. No fabric ideas yet.
Cape 111 certainly does intrigue me, but I can't see myself wearing it. I also like the velvet dress, 113, but it seems really plain to me. Perhaps I'll get inspired by one of you to make it up. Did I miss any of your favorites?
These were my top picks, too! I also liked the dress with the pleats below the waist, but I'm not sure how it would look on me.
ReplyDeleteOoh! I haven't checked the mail yet! Has it come? I look forward to mine every month, too, even if I don't get around to sewing out of it for a while. It is so fun to make plans! I love your picks.
ReplyDeleteI have to wait such a long time for mine but I do like both the tops very much, especially the top and skirt set.
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy your reviews of the new Burda's. I always see something I didn't notice, like the little bows on that jacket.
ReplyDeleteMine arrived today, but I haven't had time to look through it carefully. I think the jean skirt is cute. It is the same as the one you have posted, but with some variations.
ReplyDeleteI also liked the other skirts A LOT. Well, I didn't like the elastic waist type one. I also liked the extra pattern dress.
I can't wait to see some of the items as people start making them! I love the magazine, but I would like to see more of the actual garments.
Oh bah I'm still waiting for mine. Looks good though from your picks!
ReplyDeleteI love these!! You need to do a piping tutorial for that skirt. The other version has piping and yours always looks so nice. When I do piping, well, it's not so nice.
ReplyDeleteHey Dawn - I TOTALLY missed the piping detail of that denim skirt, but totally love it. I think I'll incorporate it. I actually made my own piping for the dress I'm working on, but didn't do a tutorial on the method. Next time I'll definitely do that.
ReplyDeleteI'll never get tired of you doing the Burda reviews and sewing them up. I love them, too. I haven't made anything yet, but I'm hoping to soon. My favorites for this issue are Pants 106, Top 114, and Blouse 108. I think it would be fun to make the vases and plates server on Page 36 and the mosaic serving tray on Page 37. My 8 year old daughter likes Jacket 139 and Skirt 145.
