Burda Style For people who sew

Office style meets casual chic – cool cuts in statement fabrics. This collection from the 02/2019 issue of BurdaStyle magazine is plus-size fashion with 24-hour looks that make you always look perfectly dressed.

We usually talk all about women’s fashion trends, but what about the guys? On our latest episode of Sew & Tell: Sew Romantic we discuss sewing menswear, and to compliment that episode I wanted recap the hottest trends seen on the runways for Men’s Fashion Week including looks form Paris, London, and New York and how you can sew the look! Overall the major trends are a lot of prints, color and graphics mixed with boxy oversized silhouettes – then on the other end of the spectrum oversized silhouettes are more flowy as seen in tops, blouses, and the come back of the baggy pant.

Exposed zippers are a fabulous way to add a little edge to your garment, and they’re also super secure – no need to worry about the zipper breaking! But what if there is a seam? In the tutorial below I go over how to install an exposed with with a seam using small lining pieces that act as facings as explained and featured in our Mini Flap Skirt pattern.

This accessory will keep you warm throughout the rest of the winter and It’s quite chic to wear too! This knitted headband with box comes together quite easily with just a few stitches, read on to see how you can make yourself one this weekend…

I know it’s the middle of the month, but I’ve been in a little of a sewing rut which you can listen about in the next episode of Sew & Tell airing February 21st. As I knew it would, starting to sew this Trench Coat from the 02/2018 issue of BurdaStyle magazine got me feeling better and now I’m excited to finish this coat to become one step closer to my capsule collection! I talked about the plan in my last Mash Up reveal, and in this part 1 post I get the pattern ready, and sew the welt pockets as well as the storm flap piece.

Sweet nostalgia… dresses, tunics and trousers are like from a children’s book, but most of all they are: timeless. These styles from the 02/2019 issue of BurdaStyle magazine are punctuated by simple, beautiful colors and fabrics that transcend time.

Glitter, rhinestone, and gold: The term “too much” simply does not exist for this necklace, and luckily for statement necklaces are back in style! Here we put everything on it – brooches, earrings & everything in-between then spray a golden coat over it, which covers all traces of scratches and color differences.
