Burda Style For people who sew
Description
Ok, more grey than white, but I wanted to use “W”s I made a skirt from burda magazine 03/2009, skirt 105.
Ever since that skirt came out, I had always wanted to make one. I am a sucker for cool pockets. This magazine came with a really good tutorial on how to make this “couture pocket”.
It was a super easy skirt, with a pretty good fit. I used a size 36 for me (i am about 34.5), and I took it in about 1 inch. For the hem I took it in about 2 inches and it falls perfectly below my knee. I had marked the pattern lines onto fabric with a washable ink pen my friend gave me during the sewing party, which made sewing the pleats, pockets, and side invisible zipper extremely easy.
I love the skirt, it is very comfortable and versatile, very warm and chic. The length is perfect for the office and the A-line is perfect for a shortie. I wore this to the office 3 or 4 times already! Make one for yourself, if you have this issue of burda, you will not regret it!
(how i wish burdastyle has all the old patterns up for sale too!)

Very very very nice !!!! I’m so glad I have this burda magazine and as I’m still afraid about more difficult projects, I guess I’ll try this one after your words that it was an easy project!! And one more thing, after looking to magazine, this skirt for me wasn’t nice but you look so great with it !!! (=
