I am an a waistcoat making roll this year! Must take some photos of the rest, but I am currently tackling a Burda pattern I found at an op shop recently. I would guess it was an inclusion with a sewing magazine, as it is only in a paper front in a plastic bag, with minimal illustrations. Or maybe that’s just Burda.
I don’t think I have used a Burda pattern before ( other than tracing some from the Burda magazines at the library years ago). I did remember that seam allowances are NOT included. I find that a very odd “point of difference” to leave something so important out!
Some issues so far - the interfacing I used was too thick, I will have to do the top stitching on the 201k because of all the layers with the facing, front and collar to sew through.
I tacked it together with the 66k - love the look of the pink basting stitches against the brown pinstripe! I tried it on but found I had to alter the shape a lot for a good fit. I then tried to recut the pattern to match, but I think I forgot to factor in taking in the back panel to match the front.
A work in progress!
