Burda - Jakob

Pattern:  Burda - Jakob
Size: 48
Fabric: 2.3M 60" Imported Cotton (Harisons)
Details:
  • Matched the plaids for the side seams, yoke to front pieces, back to yoke and collar to yoke.  Even the sleeve seams matched.
  • The horizontal stripes are matching at the front
  • But I think I still need work figuring out the centre front plakets.  I've read that they have to be mirror image but I think I'm missing something.
  • Pocket is cut on the bias.
  • All pieces are cut on unfolded fabric for accuracy in aligning the plaids.
  • The shirt length is extended because the intended wearer is tall and skinny.

Andre Shorts

Pattern: Burda - Andre Shorts
Size: XL
Fabric: 1M of 60" width navy blue cotton twill (Yee Buttons) and black denim (Nagoya)
Details:

  • Added in-seam pockets in white muslin
  • Amended pattern so that the sides are cut straight 
  • I applied the elastic differently where I sew the waist band while the elastic is in the casing.  I find this is easier than pushing the elastic through after the waistband casing is sewn
  • This 2 pair of shorts was couriered to my Dad and he has reported that it fits him well
  • Love working with the cotton twill and I think I need to get me some more for my culottes

The cotton twill was very nice to work with

The black denim bled quite a lot
