Burda Style For people who sew
I feel like I’m losing my mind. I’m new to sewing so there’s a good chance this is a learning curve issue…
I’ve destroyed two yards of fabric now trying to cut the pattern for the Charlie bag. The pattern calls for 3/4 of a yard. But there doesn’t seem to be any way to actually cut this pattern out with even a whole yard—no matter how the fabric is folded. Am I nuts? How does this work? I’ve read and reread the instructions, watched the how to video, zoomed in on pictures, I just don’t get it.

Have you checked your test square sizing (page 8 of the print out) to make sure the pattern printed out at the right size?
