Burda Style For people who sew
Description
A birthday present for my boyfriend, and a ‘thanks for the awesome christmas present!’. He likes it too, yay! Used the Jakob pattern but did roll-up sleeves with a button/strap combo. It’s kinda daunting picking fabric for someone.. and although I am quite pleased (and relieved – collars are quite the fiddle-fluff) with how it looks, will make it a little smaller next time round the chest and shoulders, as it seems like the Jakob’s fit is quite loose.
Material Notes
Cotton shirting fabric, blue buttons..

That is a great Jakob – fabric print and colour is fantastic! I made mine a size smaller than the smallest size too as it seemed a little large. I am also very impressed with the photos – well done boyfriend for posing properly!
