Burda Style For people who sew
Description
This was made out of an old bed sheet from Urban Outfitters. I stopped using it when I got married out of respect for my husbands masculinity, but I have been in love with the print from before I bought it.
I modified a pattern from a Japanese Pattern book to make it a bit more form fitting (side back pleats)
I am in love with the dropped sleeves found in a lot of Japanese patterns.
