stoked about flickr up for swap!

This is great! Ironically, despite being Down Under and the middle of winter, for me this is the PERFECT pattern to have come out right now... I want to make a vest to wear over work shirts to keep me warm! I had a pattern for one but the armholes of it are all wrong. This one looks better so I will give it a try!

Great! I especially like the version with the cowl neck.

in need of a new project

I'm in NJ, so I'm feeling in heat wave too. I just downloaded the pattern, I can't wait to make it!

copying the hot hot heat dress

Can't wait to try this, but wondering how necessary an overlock machine is as I don't have one! Hopefully I can make it without.

is learning to crochet and lovin it

I downloaded the pattern last night and then read about the overlock machine and the double needle needed for the hem in order for it to stretch!! I don't have either, could I just sew the hem using a zig zig stitch?

back to school

Umm ok, I don't want to be mean, and of course what you do is amazing, but I think it has been a while since a real and free pattern... All the free patterns lately have been alterations of other ones I think.. :/

Anyway.. :) I will be making some of these soon I hope.. :D

enjoying the spring sunshine

Brilliant timing! I just made a singlet top from another site which I ended up chopping up to recycle- It was revolting! I've already started making this - with a bound neckline and armholes. Thankyou! I should have a new, and great fitting, top tomorrow. Please, keep the basics coming!

Yes, you can definitely use a zig zag, I would do that, if I wouldn't have the overlock at work..

check out NEW shoot pics on flickr!

Hi staticstasy.

Perhaps it has been a little while since we had a fresh, free pattern. On the bright side, this pattern is actually 3 patterns in one! That's a great value, for free.

At BurdaStyle, we don't think of ourselves as just a resource for free patterns--we also want to empower our members to use our patterns to develop their own designs, which is why we like to share variations. Now that we have a significant pattern base, we'd also like to expand you all's knowledge base! But don't worry, BurdaStyle will always be here as a resource for free patterns and idea sharing.

I made this top with a straight sewing machine and it worked just fine. I always double sew seams when it calls for a serger....it works out great!!!!!
samisue Ï Posted 10 July 2008 at 10:19 PM

This top is great, but does anyone know if there is a pattern for those shorts hanging around? I would love to make them!

Ditto, those shorts are awesome!
