Burda Plus Fashion Magazine 02-2008 Shirred Top
This is number two of what I hope will be a total of 5 of these tops. This is a super great wardrobe builder for me. I finished this up last night and was able to get a few quick shots of me in it before the sun goes down! Despite it being really shear… Continue reading Burda Plus Fashion Magazine 02-2008 Shirred Top
Next Up is this Burda TNT – Burda Plus 2008 #104
I've only made this top once before but I really like it. I was at Hancock Fabrics over the weekend and couldn't help myself from picking up some of these ridiculously cheap poly knits. They were on sale almost 50% off of their regularly reduced prices so each one of these 1 and 3/8" cuts… Continue reading Next Up is this Burda TNT – Burda Plus 2008 #104
So if you’re a size 14+ you just don’t count…or how Burda shafted the Burda Plus subscribers
I just got home from work and opened the mailbox to find my latest edition of Burda Plus Magazine.

Burda 6-2009-120 Women’s Shorts-Entry 4 Finish
The shorts are finished! And it took us a little bit to get them to this point. A not so funny thing happened when Ale came back from her camping trip and tried them on.

Burda 6-2009-120 Women’s Shorts – Entry 3-Low Zipper Fly Without a Waistband
Oh boy. These directions in Burda for this zipper installation are soooooo confusing. It's made my head hurt for a few days. I keep trying to visualize what it is they are saying. Long story short, the zipper installation on this pattern is a little bit different because there isn't a waist band and the… Continue reading Burda 6-2009-120 Women’s Shorts – Entry 3-Low Zipper Fly Without a Waistband
Burda 6-2009-120 Women’s Shorts – Entry 2-Working the Plan: Tracing the Pattern and Cutting the Fabric
So let's get started. I measured the waist and the hips to determine which size to make. The waist on this particular design has tabs that are cinched in using a buckle so exact fitting of the waist is not necessary. The hips are fairly roomy too with the addition of the front pleat. We… Continue reading Burda 6-2009-120 Women’s Shorts – Entry 2-Working the Plan: Tracing the Pattern and Cutting the Fabric
Burda 6-2009-120 Women’s Shorts – Entry 1 Pattern Analysis
On the sewing machine today is a pair of shorts that our exchange student asked me to help her make before school is out. She chose this really cute design from the June 2009 magazine.
