As magazine issues are published it is always interesting to see what other members have sewn, or want to sew. I often have questions regarding specific model, or instructions... So, I thought having a forum where we can share all this would be a good idea. I hope you agree with me. Organizing it by year seemed most convenient (and we can add more years if this takes off), so I hope we can have a fun place to chat and to brag about our Burda 2011 creations! What do you think? ------ My blog: http://frabjous-fashion.blogspot.com What I am working on now: one couture garment a month for my Burdastyle Couture Wardrobe Challenge at burdastyle.com

Starting with the January issue, I made 3 pair of the leggings. You only have one pattern peice and it is sort of form fitting so it fit nicely. I made two Tunics one from 8 2011 and then one from 3-2011 I made a couple of dresses 06 2011 and a three tops from 6 2011 And I can't forget my military jacket entered in the Think Pink Contest military jacket Burda is my go to place for patterns. I trace them on swedish sewing paper so they are more sturdy for reuse and I have to do so many alterations anyway, I might as well trace patterns before I use them. I don't even like rumaging through envelope patterns when I want to find soemthing. I pull out all my mags get a comfy spot on the sofa and just thumb through them I always find what I want plus a little more.

This is an old Burda TNT that I have made over and over. These are from Burda Plus 02-2005-404A. Here's a photo of the first two pair. I have some red flannel that's in the laundry being prewashed. ------ Marilyn January 2009 to January 2010 81 yards out and 71yards in January 2010 to the present 106.7 yards out and 146.5 yards in.

I have started my first one by tracing a dress from 8/2011 (no 125). Have not finished it yet. Participating in a sew-along will be more motivation for me to finish and show it off! ------ Yay!
