Burda Style For people who sew
Description
Knit top with a placket opening and short, puffed raglan sleeves.
The pattern is #125 from the January 2009 issue of Burda World of Fashion. It is the illustrated sewing course pattern for the month, so it’s easy to follow the detailed instructions.
I sewed French seams as I don’t have a serger. I also omitted the snaps on the placket, and added about a 2 inch allowance for the hem.
Material Notes
cotton jersey knit

I went and bought the issue, but realised I needed tracing paper to copy the pattern. So still not done it yet!

WOW! It’s such a different shirt without the snaps on the placket – it looks lovely open like that. Well done.

This is great. The deep placket neckline is my favorite!

Really beautiful. I love the raglan sleeves and the colour is superb! Who needs a serger after seeing your take on French seams!

cute shirt! great job! ooh- and i have a tip. i forget where i heard this, but it’s not necessary to use zig-zag stitches when you want stretch. Instead, if you stretch the fabric while you’re sewing a straight stitch, it will bounce back to it’s original shape (generally, but you can test it first) and then stretch just fine! I did once have some sort of cotton knit (not jersey) that wouldn’t bounce back- however it got stretched, it stayed that way.

Thanks! As far as construction tips, I’d say everything is pretty straightfoward. The only thing I had some trouble with was the end of the placket where it joins together. I was worried that it would sew crookedly on the machine, so I did the very end by hand with slipstitches.
Oh, and I sewed the back of the neck binding by hand, too. I sewed the sleeve binding by machine, though, using a zizag stitch to topstitch, and it turned out just fine.

Wonderful work! I just looked at this same pattern last night and put it on my list of “to do’s”. Do you have any advice on the construction? Anyway, very pretty and great fit!
