Burda Style For people who sew
Description
Shirt drafted from the Japanese pattern book Pattern Magic 2 by Tomoko Nakamichi, made of synthetic stuff that I dyed using iDye for synthetics in Brown. The fabric used to be pale pistachio green.
Some of my thoughts on making this shirt on my blog here

I am looking for a jacket for my diploma exam for a while. finally I came over your creation and bought the book, because, I think this is what I want. in some way conventional, but also with stylish modern details. I wonder, if it is possible, to keep the two front parts apart and make buttons, instead of the zip in the back. I think it could be difficult to change the jacket quickly with the back zip

Thank you for your comment! Yes, I think it is perfectly possible to have the two fronts separate, and have a hidden button band for closure, in fact if I was making this again this is exactly how I would do it next time.
Good luck with your diploma exam!

So far I have not been tempted by Japanese pattern books (mostly due to already overstuffed todo list)…but this makes me want to go and search the library system Website right now!!!!!

Thank you. This is a detail suggested by the designer…

When I opened this I thought it was a jacket. If one added a little length and a little width in the sleeves it easily could be one. The scarf detail is really unusual, but I like it!

Thanks for your comment. You don’t really need to add length for it to be a jacket! I prefer it in the cropped length.

It´s wonderful. I like very much the front, I think it´s a great job. Very nice.
