Burda Style For people who sew

At: "http://manequim.abril.com.br/faca-e-use/moldes/ " you will find several free pattern downloads. Most have a single size. This month, it’s a Capri pants in size 42. I’d suggest that you keep a basic set of slacks instructions* handy unless you read Portuguese; it’s the official language of Brazil. Their patterns are easy enough to follow. (Of course, I’ve been sewing for 42+ years, so not a whole lot of surprises any more. ;) ) I will try for a link, but if it fails, use the line between the Quotation marks. cordially, Nehmah "link"http://manequim.abril.com.br/faca-e-moldes/url" Sorry, I don’t yet have it correct. Would someone please enter any website link, so I know exactly how it should look? Please??? N.

• In your native language.
  Hello again, today, Sept. 9th, 2009, at: new-pattern there are two new size 50 patterns. One for a shirt-jacket and one for Bermudas. as the chest of the shirt seems quite full, I believe these are for plus-size females. Or for men who spend a lot of time lifting heavy items. should link not work, I will try again. Look for the words “new-pattern”.) PS. These are overlaid, like Burda and Ottobre, the language is Portuguese. Cordially, Nehmah PLEASE READ: When you click on the link, look on the right-hand side for a line drawing of a formal gown and the words “MOLDES ONLINE” in red lettering. Click to find the pattern page.

  I love the Manequim patterns and I really like they they don’t come with 60 pages to print out and glue together. I think the concept of giving you a pattern sheet like in Burdastyle magazine instead is fabulous. I so hope the will add more patterns in the future.

  To TheJam; Hello, Do I enter the link exactly as you have shown? Does it need quotation marks, greater/lesser <>, or other characters before and after the address? That is the part I don’t understand. Sorry, but I am slow on these things. Cordially, Nehmah I am entering it as you have here> http://manequim.abril.com.br/faca-e-use/moldes/

  Hello members! If you run your curser over the words “Manequim Website” from my earlier post and click on it, it will take you directly to the site. Hope I am understanding the link issue correctly. If not please let me know.

  OK, let me try to reword this: I have trouble entering the proper “formula” to have a link show and work. Work, being the problem. ;( I have tried the following: http://manequim.abril.com.br/faca-e-use/moldes/ (that didn’t work.) and <http://manequim.abril.com.br/faca-e-use/moldes/&gt; (that didn’t work) and “http://manequim.abril.com.br/faca-e-use&#8221; which also doesn’t work. What I am completely missing is the format from before http:// to after… /moldes The punctuation/diacriticals/wingdings or whatever it takes for the software to recognize the link as a link. Nehmah

    "A link to the german burda site":http://www.burdafashion.com/de/index.html

    is rendered as follows
    A link to the german burda site

    In other words, the text of the link is placed in double quotes, followed by a colon, and then the url. Burdastyle uses a dialect called “textile” for markup.

    nehmah, if you go to my blog at http://sew4my3.blogspot.com/ I have posted the “formula’s” for posting links in the forum. You might want to copy them down somewhere so you will have them on hand when needed. Hope this helps dear friend.

  Oooh, they have som great great patterns… too bad not in my size, but I might try to just print the one-size ones in a smaller scale, might work (the others I can scale using the busrda-style-how-to)… :-)

    Be careful, the sizing is very different from Burdastyle sizing. They have a different measurement chart: http://manequim.abril.com.br/faca-e-use/moldes/caderno-de-moldes-406164.shtml

    Thanks for warning! I was lucky enough that it only differs by 1cm in the hips + bust, and not at all in the waist, so I think I should use the same size. But have you tried the patterns? Do they have less ease than Burda? (with Burda I can’t follow the size-charts, then I end up with too big clothes…)

    I’ve only printed and measured one of the patterns and it looks like it doesn’t have as much built in ease as Burdastyle patterns have.

  Oh, I know! Everything seemed so “off” until I reread the charts information. Of course, the fact that I use a Translator to read the site occasionally makes a tad of difference. Cordially, Nehmah

  Many thanks to all who posted an answer to my link difficulty. I have a site from member Judeb to <a href"http://www.w3schools.com&quot; (here’s hoping that I got it right this time. If not, I can keep referring back to the site. The actual address is right, it’s the little bits before and after the address I enter incorrectly! But, I shall persevere. Cordially, Nehmah

  OK, I don’t know if this will work in a forum post, so apologies if this looks like gibberish, if it does it should show exactly the coding you need to add a link in a post:

  <a href=" http://www.thesiteyouwanttolinkto&quot;&gt;your text here</a>

  To use it, just copy and past and replace the site and text with whatever you want.

    Yay it worked! Nehmah, you can copy and paste the code above exactly as it is and use it to create a link without changing anything but the web address and txt (just paste over them). Leave all the spaces etc. exactly as they are… I hope this is what you’re after.

    I wrote a post about how to add various link here if this helps.

  Hi and thank you so much for your help. I’ve also bookmarked the site. It’s really hard to explain a problem like this. If I could enter it the way I wanted to explain which didn’t work, it reads all wrong. I will “printscreen” this entire page and keep it where my “help for blunders, virtual” all go. I know there are faster ways of saving data, but I never seem to lose a “printscreen” entry. Nehmah – whose finger pads are a tad sore.

  Hi thanks for the link, some great patterns there! I have a question though, the pattern has many many lines everywhere all over the pieces… am i right in thinking that all pieces are overlapped? How do you use this kind of pattern… sorry, never seen such things before!

  Thanks :)

    Yes, the pieces overlap, this is typical for pattern sheets in pattern magazines.

    First step, you print and glue the pages like you would do with a Burdastyle pattern.

    Second step, you copy the pattern pieces.
    Use special tracing paper and a pen to copy the pattern pieces. If it’s a multi size pattern, make sure to trace the line for your size. Instead of special tracing paper every sheer paper can be used, e.g. baking parchment, sandwich paper, architects papers… Just make sure that you can see the lines well enough if you lay it on the pattern sheet.

  I ran up against the overlay patterns in an Ottobre magazine, which had parts on different sheets for a garment. It took some careful “reading” to get it right. This is the way I keep on the correct size and piece. Use a colored pencil, like the kind used in children’s art classes, (no need to purchase expensive ones) and make a small box or X along the lines you want to trace. I place one at either end of a cutting or seamline, and two or three along the same lines. By using a color instead of regular lead pencils, you won’t be distracted and add in part of a bodice front to a skirt back. It can happen, I know. Cordially, Nehmah

  These patterns are not toll-free anymore (at least most of them). You have to pay to download them! Kind of reminds me of the Burdastyle change a year ago :(
