Pant pattern 102 is my favorite design this month. I have got to put my fear of making pants to rest. The perfect blue linen is already in my stash...
Shorts 107 are super cute. Making shorts doesn't seem that fun to me, but I can't find any RTW that I like or that are flattering. The stores carry only capri's or daisy dukes. I use to always wear the daisy dukes, but now that I'm in my 30's I don't feel comfortable in them.
Maxi dresses are all the rage, right? I'm loving 116 for its super cute neckline. If I sew some bra cups in the top I can wear it without any undergarment issues.
You might think me nuts, but I like this little top, 120. Especially in a shear fabric. Asymmetrical necklines really appeal to me.
Ooh, love top 124. I expect to see a bunch of these made up soon. They are so simple and summery.
We are taking our boys to the circus tonight and then will be out and about for the 4th. I hope you all have a wonderful Independence Day!!!
You can't remember getting your issue past the 2nd of the month? Wow! I remember it was just 4 months ago when my issue was getting here in the middle of the month. The last 3 months it's been by the first or so. I got spoiled. Needless to say, my issue isn't here yet, and I can't say that i'm patiently waiting.
ReplyDeleteI've had a subscription since 2004 or so, and this is the first issue that I have ever actually wanted. I have convinced myself that's the reason why it's not here yet. I'm holding out hope for Friday, and mail doesn't run on Saturday because of the holiday.
I like your picks. Mine hasn't come yet. It has never been this late! *sigh*
ReplyDeleteI love your picks, and I still haven't gotten my magazine(pooches lip out). That maxi dress is great!!!
ReplyDeleteI just got mine today and live about an hour from you. Love the maxi dress, too.
ReplyDeleteI'm waiting (impatiently!) for mine, too! Thanks for the preview! I'm drooling over those pants.
ReplyDeleteNot fair, I'm STILL stalking my mail box! Hopefully something soon will come around my way.
ReplyDeleteLove your top picks for this issue.
You already know my top picks... and as for my issue, it's still MIA!
ReplyDeleteYou'll make some beautiful things out of that issue. Your sewing is always impecable. I enjoy seeing what you do.
ReplyDeleteYour picks are right up my alley. Still waiting for mine, but didn't check the mail today.
ReplyDeleteHaha!! I kept thinking maybe it was lost too, but it came today! Yay! I love the halter, but I haven't even seen the preview (or opened mine) yet! So it will be a nice surprise tonight when I sit down after doing the dishes.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the last 2 skirts you made...the green print is just fabulous.
Alaska has been unseasonably warm this summer. I actually *need* more than two pairs of shorts. That might be the pattern I tackle first. I love the halter top too.
ReplyDeleteThe halter top does look very simple to make and very cute.
ReplyDeleteI haven't received my issue yet either. Waiting anxiously.
I don't feel real comfortable making pants either, but I should give it a try at some point.

I was stalking my mailbox also. Got my copy yesterday-July 2.
ReplyDeleteI love your picks! I might have to try to buy that issue!
ReplyDeleteHello Amanda !
ReplyDeleteA few minutes ago I saw your blog the first time and I must say, you are doing so much wonderful things !
Great ! It looks all so perfekt and its allways ablolutely perfekt for you !
But I wonder, why the fotographer make always fotos from you, while he/she stands.
When he/she would go in the knees, that the camera would be in the high of your stomake, your legs would looking longer and more beautiful !
You can see it in the foto with the blue short trouser, so the legs look much longer !
I've just finished top#120 with a few modifications; I'll publish it today. I really love this top and the shorts will be my next project!
ReplyDeleteI also love the maxi dress AND the halter top. Too cute.
ReplyDeleteAmanda, I love your picks! I have wanted this issue since I got a preview email. Where can I buy just one issue? Borders and Barnes and Noble don't carry it anymore
ReplyDeleteLisa H. - I honestly don't know. I checked all the bookstores and fabric stores back before I got the subscription and came up empty. That's why I got the subscription, actually. Sorry!
ReplyDeleteI received my issue on the first. I thought it was a little late also. I've been receiving mine on the 28th of the month. I liked everything you picked out. Actually, I pretty much liked the whole issue.
ReplyDeleteHi! I just "dicovered" you blog, I LOVE IT!!!!!!! you are a GREAT sewer!!! I was looking in your blog when I saw the asimetric top 120-A......and I just sewed it YESTERDAY!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteAs I live in Mexico, Burda magazines take almost a year to arrive, THIS one I saw it because a friend's relative sent it from Holand, so I asked her the magazine because I just fell in love with this top.
