Burda Style For people who sew

I think one of the most flattering belts out there is the Obi belt. Not only are they pretty, but they’re super simple to make. Today I made one from scratch and added some extra special embellishments just to take it to the next level. This is going to seem like a long tutorial, but trust me, it’s a very easy project.

Technique Materials

scissors, taffeta or similar fabric, pins, candle (and matches), ruler, paper, pencil, ribbon, matching thread, stick pin closures

  This makes your trousers and white shirt look so elegant. I love this and am going to the shop today to pick out some fabrics. Your tutorial is great and whilst I am no sewer, I don’t give up so I’m hoping to wear this in a month! ; ) (as that’s how long this will undoubtedly take me to sew!)
