So...the challenges for this beginning sewist. Burda prints shloads of patterns in their various sizes onto the same massive sheet of paper, so you have to trace the pattern (in your correct size)--meaning you have to somehow find the correct line to trace amidst all the other lines that are just screaming to be traced. Then, what I like about the class, is that the instructor adjusts the pattern so that it will fit properly. So we adjust, then you have to add in the seam allowances (because Burda doesn't add them in like most commercial patterns do). I'm not complaining. It was good, in that I think I'm starting to understand how the shapes work. I'm not so good with 3d imaginings based off of a 2d paper pattern. But having to trace it out, and then go back and add in seam allowances and hemlines, is prepping me to see it (I think).
Germania you are coming a long way, since you took a sewing class at the place on Michigan Avenue. Congratulations, keep on going. Love, Mom
