Burda Style For people who sew
Description
My new obsession – simplicity 2591. This is my 4th attempt with this pattern, and I absolutely don’t intend to stop now.
The beautiful fabric is Meadowsweet from Michael Miller – unfortunately OOP, which also goes for the pattern.

GORGEOUS fabric choice, as usual! And great fit, but that goes without saying. You look awfully pulled-together in that outfit – bravo!

You are going to have to do a lot of searching as the pattern is out of print, sorry.

Maybe out of print, but still available, I found it. What is your experience with these simplicity patterns, the fit? I recently bought another one.
May 17, 2012, 08.03 AMby groovymama
Wow, you lucky girl. The pattern runs a little bit large. Normally I wear a European size 16/42 in store bought clothes, but this size 14/40 fits me perfectly. Would you mind telling me where to get this pattern, hopefully online, I would love an extra…and I have a couple of friends who would love it as well. You are welcome to email me:-)
