Burda Style For people who sew
Description
Ahhhhh I finally learnt how to sew a decent zipper fly! Thanks to this pattern from the Japanese Female magazine I was asking Nahoko about :-)
Sewed a size M but took it in a bit, and changed the waistband to a thin one (a fiddly process I shall never repeat again). Overall it turned out okay I guess. My aim with this pattern was to learn how to assemble trouser pattern pieces together (a challenge made even more challenging when one can’t read a single Japanese word lol). I do however really like the crotch curve on this pattern! :-)
For the button I used a tiny gold-colored button I found in an old haberdashery. Glad I can wear these capris either tucked in or not.

I’ve ordered the magazine from ebay. I tried to order from the publisher but it was too difficult with japanese site and google translator :) I wish they would release the winter issue soon! (Or have they already, couldn’t find it on ebay.)

Ohh that’s cool! I love Japanese sewing and craft magazines.. they photograph each step so clearly, which I’m thankful for since I can’t read a word of it… hehe

I love these pants. They look great on you! I wonder if they would be flattering for a pair-shaped figure like mine…

Thank you Keren! I’m a pear shape as well, so I understand what you mean too! Usually pear shaped people are told to stay away from pleats at waist-hip area right? But I think if we wear heels to makes ourselves look longer it should be ok.. I can’t wear this trousers without heels because I will probably look like a saggy sack of potatoes.. hehehehe

Your trousers are really chic! And I like the japanese magazine Female although I can’t read it as well :) That reminds me, maybe I should order the summer issue… Even though it costs a fortune to order it to Finland :)

Thank you itetein, glad I’m not the only one heehe! Do you order it directly from the publisher? I notice it’s not always in stock at the bookstore that I go to—either they always run out of stock or it’s not a permanent publication on their stock.. :-/

Hi! What sort of fabric are these? Chambray or soft denim? You look street style hot!

Hi! It kinda looks like synthetic gabardine, or some other sort of suiting fabric that’s not too heavy.. thanks for the compliment! :D
