![]() Let’s start with Kat’s ‘Anne’ blouse, her first ever Burda magazine pattern (high five!), #122 from October 2012. ![]() Right! So let’s take a look at what you’ve all been up to and then I guess I better show you what I’ve been doing too □ It’s great to hear that we’ve helped some of you to feel more confident and tackle a Burda pattern in the near future, if not already. Thank you also for all the great comments on my tracing and instructions posts. Thank you to everyone who’s been following along in spirit too and to those of you that might still give Burda a go on your own. If your name/blog is missing please let us know!.BurdaStyle Sew Along May 2013 PARTICIPANTS: We’re just a couple of girls down in the bottom corner of the globe making friends all over the world via sewing, I mean just look at this participant list, look at it! It is super exciting how many of you have signed up and been sewing with us this month for our Burda Sew Along. My camera is a bit basic in quality so you can’t really read who won in the video so here are Harri’s winners: I enlisted Harri’s help, she was quite enthusiastic and it took a few takes before I got her to not knock ALL the entries on the ground! Now, on to the Pattern Pyramid and Burda winners. The others will not happen as officially part of this sew along but they will happen because I am super excited about them. Since I am already ahead with the Lady Grey I might get one of these started. Check out this AMAZING tutorial on her website. I am also dying to make Deer & Doe’s Belladonne, Papercut’s Watson Jacket and Ooh La Leggings. ![]() The cotton sateen lining was bought later from Spotlight here in NZ when I finally decided to start it. The main fabric is a black chunky weave wool I bought from The Fabric Store in Melbourne over 2 years ago (!) specifically for this project. It has been cut out since two Winters ago, lining, interfacing and all. ![]() Also missing from above is my Colette Lady Grey because: I also have a Cake Cabarita on its way from Australia.

Go on… □ Thanks everyone who stitched along with us this last month, it was super awesome to discover so many new bloggers, so much talent, you guys made my May, honestly! I did some emergency non-garment sewing on the weekend too but I’ll share that with you tomorrow. This is not a UFO, it’s just on hold and I am ok with that □ I need to make something exciting now or I’ll slouch into that mojo sucking place and you know what? IT’S OK TO STEP AWAY FROM A PROJECT FOR A WHILE. It can be saved, it’s cute, it deserves it, probably in less than an hour but…not today, not this week. The fabric was a bit ehh to work with and the pattern is ok but I cut it two sizes too big (I cut my usual 42 but this pattern was designed to sit more loose that I prefer) so while I’ve managed to take in the sides and sleeves now I need to fix the shoulders and sleeve head which are massive.Īaaaand it’ll look a whole lot better with a good press. You’re going to ask about the cardi now aren’t you? Hmm, well…that’s hanging up for a bit, we need some time apart. ![]()
