Burda Style For people who sew
Description
I’ve started many things lately but this one I actually finished… It didn’t turn out exactly as planned… It’s a modified Esther pattern (cropped body and sleeves with the collar part of the body/all one piece and then lined). At first everything was going just peachy but toward the end the blue fabric started separating/pulling away from the seams and making me pretty angry. But, it’s done and I kinda like it…
Material Notes
some sort of linen-like or twill fabric and soft thin something for the lining
Difficulty
Novice
Categories
Credits
lots of different jackets with pointy collars and experimentation

I totally adore this, it’s casual and feminine at the same time. Any way you could post the changes you made to the Esther pattern? The collar is wonderful. It really is a beautiful garment, thanks for sharing!
