I love the neat mod look, I love the fat stripes of that jacket in the first pic and I love how the skinny stripes behave in the long sleeved jersey shirt. But how can I ever move on when such striking temptation is blatently bowled in my general direction? It doesn’t make for a very colourful blog, for one. Now I’m forever trying to stray from all that is monochrome. Big attention seeking effect incorporating scant sewing time equals massive win! But it would be exceedingly traitorous of me to detract from the Georgia dress before I’d even started!Īnother ‘easy’ option is the cerise one-shoulder dress (row 2, col 2). In a quality shiny black, it would rescue any old skirt or trouser in a jiffy. The o-so-cute bustier (bottom row, col 1) is a fabulous party separate. I’ve just got a few tension issues to sort on my newly inherited overlocker and I am well on my way to knocking a few of these beauties out, I tell ya! Loving the batwing waterfall top (1st row, 2nd col) which comes with an ‘easy to sew’ verification. Reporting a bit late for a New Years Eve number but really some goodies here for any party any time… or just any time really! Have well and proper earmarked that little furry cropped jacket, though (above, bottom, left). I just need some time… and space! Boy will the pinned pattern pieces take up a whole of the living room floor! My pattern is traced, my fabric ordered and delivered and my instructions await for a vintage 50s masterpiece. So here I duly kick off with some snuggly 2014 fashions of the faux furry kind…Īs much as I want to, I can’t possibly dive into one of these projects. And it appears that I am indeed a love-struck addict of all that is Burda Style magazine! And if I’m ever to make a new years resolution, it must be to claim back more time for more sewing.

I had secretly planned to make the December 2013 issue of Burda, my last review.
