It doesn’t hurt that it’s designed for jerseys and reminds me of my 30th birthday dress (which I still wear often), either!Īnd to round out the “Cool Britannia” feature, it’s a really nicely proportioned double-breasted coat. I recognise that this dress, with its wide bell sleeves, longer hem, and peephole neckline, is thoroughly 70s-influenced, but I really like it anyway. For me, however, the 70s are my absolute least favourite fashion decade, so I’ll be skipping the special issue. It was difficult to hunt down line drawings of what’s actually included in that issue, but this Russian blogger has them up. If you’re really into 1970s fashion, Burda have a special issue out right now featuring updated versions of 1970s patterns from their archive. It’s a really easy sew regardless, but Burda have also given it the coloured illustrated instructions for this issue. This is the variation on the above topper, which adds some sleeve bands to make it more like a batwing jumper than a casual cape. It could be that I’m swayed by the yellow colour ( looks down at the yellow sweatshirt she’s currently wearing…), but I really like this! It’s got a big, comfy cowl collar, big batwing sleeves, and a fitted waist, and I’d totally wear this with jeans or leggings! There’s a longer version with welt pockets in this issue, too!Īlong similar silhouette lines is this cape-like jumper/pullover/sweater/whatever.
But the main difference is that while mine had the front slit openings, these use topstitching to create a sleeve channel, using the hem as your hand opening.
Burda magazine winter 2016 Patch#
I’ve ended up picking a lot out of this one so grab a mug of something hot and settle on in…įirst up – a hooded cape! No points for guessing I’d like this one, considering I’ve literally just finished sewing up a Burda hooded cape! The construction on this one is pretty different to the 2010 pattern I used, though – the hood is only two pattern pieces instead of three, there’s an extra topstitched yoke facing, plus patch pockets, too. Overall, it’s been a fantastic year of Burda magazines, in my opinion, and I’m pleased to report that there’s no letup for the final issue of 2016. I know it’s a cliché, but my god, where did the year go? I mean, I know I basically lost the first three months of the year but still.
