  I’ve been visiting your studio, and wow it’s amazing. You are such an artist!!! And your work is so inspiring, it is a pity my boyfriend only wears denim pants and t-shirts (except for warmer months)…

    muchas gracias!!! for your compliments, I appreciate it very much. Maybe you can convince your boyfriend to wear a different style once in a while by showing my studio to him :-)
    But don’t expect to much, hahaha

  Hallo Martin, ich habe gerade herausgefunden, dass Du ja auch Deutsch verstehst! :) Ich finde Deine Nähprojekte absolute Spitzenklasse!!! Ich habe schon einige Deiner Projekte im Laufe der Zeit bewundert und ich finde es sehr spannend, was Du z.B. aus einem “einfachen” Hemd machst… Du hattest Mal ein Hemd-Projekt mit einem versetzen Kragen, so dass die Krawatte an der Seite verlief! Genial! Auch Deine Hosen sind immer wieder toll. Als nächstes möchte mein Herr auch eine Hose und ich werde Mal sehen, woher ich einen Schnitt bekomme, denn sie soll recht schmal an den Beinen sein und das sind die Burdaschnitte irgendwie nie. Die Männermode ist bei Burda in den 90er Jahren stehengeblieben! :) Nun werde ich den Hosenschnitt wohl selbst herstellen. Ich bin schon auf weitere Nähprojekte von Dir gespannt. Herzliche Grüße, Stefanie

    Vielen Dank für die Komplimente!!! Ja ja, die Burdaschnitte…. darum zeichne ich die Schnitte lieber selber, aber das ist immer so viel Arbeit und es erfordert einige Übung. Bei mir steht auch eine Hose auf dem Programm mit historischem Einschlag aber guter Passform. Mein Studium hindert mich leider daran :-( Du musst noch ein wenig Geduld haben.

    Inzwischen ändere ich auch viele Burdaschnitte ab… man muss sich einfach Mal trauen! :) Ich hab auch schon einfache Schnitte komplett selbst hergestellt.. Duhast Recht, mit ein bisschen Übung geht das.
    Ich habe leider auch im Moment garkeine Zeit, deshalb bleiben alle meine Projekte liegen… aber ich sehe zumindest Licht am Horizont und es gibt ja auch Mal Semesterferien… :)
    Grüße,
    Stefanie

  In school books childhood. Tale about a boy named Petrus, was Dutch. Had his finger into the hole in the dam and flood the village was saved. Named Peter is a saying in our family. Whoever self-devotion to Petrus gives him the title say.

    Hallo razieh,
    I actualy didn’t know that there was a ‘compatition’ in commenting on other projects. It was a big surprise for me :-)
    Btw, commenting shouldn’t be a competitive action on this platform. Enjoy all the beautiful things you can see!
    greetings to Isfahan :-)

  I am reading a book about islamic and islamicate art for my study and just found the meaning of " burda" . It is the arabic word for cloak/ cape. I didn’t know that. So it has a deper meaning than only the familiename of the publisher of burda magazine. I didn’t know that.

  Dear Martin,

  I need a hand from my make Burdastyle friends, so here I am asking a favor :)

  I recently started working on a project that sits somewhere on the crossroads between sewing and IT, two things I happen to like. I wanted to draft my own pattern, but I didn’t like all that measuring and mucking about with paper and pens. So I sat down with the guidelines for a Tshirt pattern and programmed them into a website.

  It’s still rough around the edges, but in principle the pattern it generates should be just as good as what you would create by hand. To check that it actually works, I am looking for people who want to generate the pattern for their own measurements, and then make the Tshirt (it’s a pattern of a Tshirt). You can make it in a muslin, there’s not need to do the finish, I am just looking for feedback on how the fit is.

  I know it’s a lot to ask for some of your precious sewing time, but I hope that with more work and some valuable feedback, this will become a useful tool for us all :)

  Thanks in advance, you can try it here: http://makemypattern.com/

    hi guy,
    what a challenge, I will have a look at it. Realy smart to create your own pattern program. But there are several existing programs avalible. Müller & Sohn offers one, I think also in English. I will sent you a link.

    Hi Joost,

    here the link to Müller&Sohn website. Under software, page 3 and 4 you can find some programms for menswear, also in English, but quite expensive. Just have a look

    Yeah, that’s pricey :)

    I want to make something that runs as a website (no software needed) and that is free to use.
    It’s a bit of a challenge :)
