It's a really easy jacket to throw on and it makes me feel a little more 'pulled together' when I'm feeling a bit scruffy :-)<br />And yes there are some really nice patterns in their range- I feel like a whole new world of patterns has opened up to me! I think you should try one, I certainly think of you as a very accomplished seamstress - you'd be fine if I am.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18244841854009063012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7922562457401222074.post-89413136967294056132014-07-10T08:59:36.737+10:002014-07-10T08:59:36.737+10:00Thanks Mary Anna!

I can see your point about the simplicity of instructions, if I had a bit more knowledge I think I'd be fine but it feels a bit like I'm 'flying by the seat of my pants' at the moment! I am though, finding the tracing not such a problem now - using the 2 pens taped together method :-)Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18244841854009063012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7922562457401222074.post-75451882691055708372014-07-08T11:17:31.464+10:002014-07-08T11:17:31.464+10:00Such a great jacket!!

Yet, I must acknowledge they have so many great styles! I guess I'm waiting until I'm a better seamstress and don't need as much handholding? Maybe I just need to get over it.

Great job.<br /><br />I love burda patterns and not at all bothered by the brief cryptic instructions (burda makes you feel brainy when you've figured them out) - in fact over time I have come to love them as I find commercial patterns unbearably wordy. Also I love Burda techniques - an industrially trained seamstress told me they were the closest to industry methods of all the pattern companies so I really like learning how they do things.<br /><br />Yes tracing and adding seam allowance is my least favourite part but having consistent sizing and ease allowances makes up for it. The patterns are so reliable, you know what you will get and for that reason I just can't be bothered with anything else.<br /><br />Mary Nannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02577449410716501317noreply@blogger.com
