I finally got around to reading my Burda magazine the other day. It’s been following me around ever since. Wow! I know it’s the end of October . There should be some at Chapters. It’s just one of those issues where nearly every article is written for me.
The Plus size clothes are just what I need right now. There are a few children’s outfits that are going to be perfect for the youngest niece and nephew. There are normal size patterns, and mens too. I like the shirt for John. There is a cool idea about lamps for Halloween tomorrow. AND…. Halloween Pom Pom earings made with the Clover Pom Pom Makers Way too COOL!!!! There’s more but you won’t need to buy the magazine if I tell you.
I’ve never been bothered about tracing the patterns off the paper. You have to do that with most patterns now a days. The patterns in the magazine don’t have seam allowances. This is no biggie, when you use the niche patterns you usually end up adding the proper seam allowance that they’ve removed to be different.
I’ve used Burda forever. I was trained in England by a German patternmaker. They seem to have a better handle on fit and proportion in my opinion. I think the clincher was when K needed formal clothing for the prom or weddings we always found a pattern there.
SO now I really need to move to that larger workroom. I’m trying to get it on the calendar for next weekend. Wish me luck.
Safe Halloween
