Burda Style For people who sew
Description
A colour blocking twist on the Anda pattern.
Mel, the fabulous hair dresser that specialises in vintage hair at the leopard lounge had the vision. I had the pleasure of bringing that to life.
A broken over locker slowed progress. But it’s done! A cotton knit number that’s sharp in looks and as comfortable as a tee shirt!
Variation notes:
– cut out triangle from the centre front pattern piece and repeated in alternate colours (white / orange)
– self drafted sleeves
– two darts in the back (Mel lost weight since the initial fitting!!)

This is a gorgeous example of colour blocking Darl – fab job.
Mel – just looking at her makes me desperate for a tease comb and a can of hair spray…. she’s a million bucks! Now – where did I put that comb?…….. xxx
