Burda Style For people who sew
Description
Heavily modified Jakob 6013 due to hubby’s small frame. Had to make the body and sleeves tighter for better fit, and also the collar. I wish Burda pattern includes smaller sizes.
I had to make one muslim from the pattern, and modify by pinning after hubby tried it on. Also, i used existing shirt that he has (though not perfect fit) for reference when making the new pattern.

nice work! I like the color and the fit looks great. I know what you mean about pattern alterations – Trying to perfect it seems sometimes like trying to reach illumination :-)

Thank you Natalia! It was a painful process, and the fit is still not perfect as my DH would like. The sleeves are a little too tight for him. I almost wanted to use the women’s shirt pattern. But it is still a much better fit than the original pattern

Great job. The fit is perfect. I guess if you take the time to make a muslin and fit everything properly, the finished garment looks amazing -I should start doing that.
