Burda Plus Fashion SS-06-402
Pattern Sizing: European plus sizing 44 - 52
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? Yes
Were the instructions easy to follow? I made this blouse before, so this time the instructions were easy. I first made this blouse back when I was totally confused by and critical of Burda instructions. Now, I'm used to the instructions and they don't bother me anymore.
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I needed a short-sleeved blouse and this one worked.
Fabric Used: A crinkle cotton my daughter brought back from Morocco.
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: I added an inch to the length. The trim on the neckline and sleeve could be considered a design change since it wasn't included in the original design.
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? The next time a make this, I want to eliminate the collar add a conventional neck and front facing.
Conclusion: This cotton is very light and comfortable to wear. I have a perfect hot weather blouse.

Were the instructions easy to follow?
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? This fabric was purchased in Morocco and I wanted to use it for something that was reminiscent of that part of the world. This tunic was the closest thing.
Fabric Used: crinkle cotton
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: none, I made this as-is.
Conclusion: The fabric is lightweight, so I'll wear it when the weather is much warmer in spite of the long sleeves.
Very nice! That color looks good on you, too

ReplyDeleteI like both of these. I think your use of the trim is nice.
Great tops, I love them both, and that pink is delicious!
ReplyDeleteFantastic color on you.
ReplyDeleteI like both of these. I would never have picked pink for you, but it's really nice on you. Loose comfy cotton garments are perfect in summer. Where I live, it's too hot and humid in summer to wear knits, so garments like this are perfect.
ReplyDeleteI think the ribbon on the hem of the short sleeve is cute, cute, cute!
ReplyDeleteGreat new blouses, wonderful color.
ReplyDeleteYou are "in the pink", so to speak! Nice blouses, and I love the color.
ReplyDeleteJust right! The color is really nice and there's just enough trim to add an extra bit of pop to the blouse.
