Most of their buyers are very experienced sewists (esp. Those in eastern Europe). Unfortunately it is a bit of a ripoff to buy a single printable pattern from their site when you can get a 3month Burda style subscription for about $25-30 and out of the 100+ patterns there will be a few that are what you desire.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4823578805242157520.post-57981286430972576902015-12-24T20:38:19.982-08:002015-12-24T20:38:19.982-08:00Awesome sewing!

I applied the facing like any other garment . . . right sides together, stitch in place, understitch, clip, and turn. That worked fine for me.<br /><br />Frankly, I am at a loss with Burda directions. Perhaps they just translate from the original German and never check if they make sense? Some diagrams would be extremely helpful.Laura Maehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01288197213619181028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4823578805242157520.post-36240694014989332522015-12-22T20:51:43.345-08:002015-12-22T20:51:43.345-08:00I definitely see Balenciaga - which is probably on...I definitely see Balenciaga - which is probably one of the main reasons I was drawn to the design in the first place!Laura Maehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01288197213619181028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4823578805242157520.post-56353389813645980752015-12-22T20:50:24.135-08:002015-12-22T20:50:24.135-08:00Aha!
