So think of the value of that, and not just the per pattern price!mjbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07270657379178402124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18642968.post-53186100342136014472009-02-04T22:03:00.000-06:002009-02-04T22:03:00.000-06:00I just started my BWOF subscription after buying i...I just started my BWOF subscription after buying issues from an independent fabric store whenever I could locate them - and I was hesitant for the longest time to use them because I wasn't sure on my sizing. But, now that I've begun using the patterns from mag I'm hooked. Hope you'll get going on some of the ones that are still calling to you!Sharon Sewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09987831277077411438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18642968.post-90161981778003150942009-02-04T12:47:00.000-06:002009-02-04T12:47:00.000-06:00Now why didn't *I* see all those patterns??

Funny how I never look twice at most of the Burda patterns until someone else says they are good ones. <BR/><BR/>Thanks!Beth Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04734691039569936860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18642968.post-63021253487703659782009-02-03T22:30:00.000-06:002009-02-03T22:30:00.000-06:00Mostly the reason I feel like I need to muslin stu...Mostly the reason I feel like I need to muslin stuff is because I haven't done enough Burda patterns to know what size to trace; I've made a few of the 'envelope' patterns and found them snug; the one 'magazine' pattern I made I compared to a TNT pattern and found it to be a little large. So I'm still trial-and-erroring my way through it.<BR/><BR/>When possible, I *will* compare to TNTs...that will make life a lot easier!<BR/><BR/>And I've promised myself that the next time I'm tracing anything...for me, or for a costume project...I will trace at least one of the BWOF patterns so it will be ready to try at the first available opportunity! ;)<BR/><BR/>Thanks for commenting!Lisa Lareehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11516986664460840579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18642968.post-62313108458378046082009-02-03T21:41:00.000-06:002009-02-03T21:41:00.000-06:00Lisa,Why do you think you have to muslin everythin...Lisa,<BR/>Why do you think you have to muslin everything from BWOF? I've found that I need to do fewer 'fixes' to Burda patterns than any other brand. And the fixes are quite standard from pattern to pattern once you figure out what you need.<BR/><BR/>If you know what size you should trace I think you should just trace a couple of those patterns right away and then you'll have them ready to go and it won't feel like such an enormous project!<BR/><BR/>If I were you I'd just add the extra to the jacket center front as you cut - you can always go back to the original lines if you decide you don't like your changes.<BR/><BR/>If you don't have fabric you can risk on a project, just holler! ;) I MIGHT have some extra around here somewhere...lolgoodworks1https://www.blogger.com/profile/02967943973600981509noreply@blogger.com
