Burda Style For people who sew
Description
my first burdastyle creation: This isn’t quite done – I need to the steps that involve hand sewing, and I think I’ll skip the snaps – not sure if they’re really necessary. This is actually the 4th thing I have ever made, so I’m fairly pleased. I did have trouble with the instructions though.

I like the fabric, too! It’s really a great fabric for this type of a wrap shirt.

Basically I got lost on steps 2 & 3, I really didn’t understand quite how to attach the sleeve. This was my first burdastyle pattern, and I am a novice sewer, but there were a couple other people who found the instructions confusing so maybe it wasn’t all me! Nevertheless I was able to make it fairly easily enough.

I think it is cute! I was thinking about trying that pattern myself…What kind of troubles did you have?
