Shirt hems on skirts are in style right now, and the uneven tabbed waistband is an interesting touch. A lot of seamlines to match up perfectly though!) (The back has the same swoops and they meet up at the shoulder and side of the waist. The bodice seaming is FANTASTIC and for once it actually carries to the back.

The boatneck just looks wrong, and what is up with the all the poufyness in the upper arm? Yuck.ДЇrom a section full of modern patterns in all grey, this may be my favorite in the issue. вЂњDressyвЂќ sweatshirts are everywhere right now and IвЂ™ve been wanting to make oneвЂ¦ just not this one. It has the same flattering long vertical lines down the front as the waterfall cardigans I love вЂ“ great for petite women. This shawl collar blouse is a petite size pattern.

IвЂ™m glad Burda is choosing some more complicated patterns for the sewing lesson вЂ“ you really only need so many tutorials on how to sew a t-shirt. ItвЂ™s also the sewing lesson for the month. This jacket has zipper trim along the lapels, waist, and shoulder seams. Fortunately I like a few of the patterns better than the fabrics. I like dark floralsвЂ¦ just not any of these. I can see a lot of bloggers who are into the 40вЂ™s look wearing this.Д«urda had an entire section devoted to dark florals which seem to be trendy right now. Not my style, but cute and the angled cuffs are lovely. They showed the same jacket in the Oktoberfest section as an alpine jacket. The trim on the square pockets adds a lot of interest, and even though itвЂ™s boxy it has bust darts so I bet itвЂ™s a flattering fit. I really like this plaid jacket with patent leather trim. The flounce skirt is again something IвЂ™ve seen plenty of times before, but it looks great in a plaid on the bias. This t-shirt is a nice basic with a twist but I think IвЂ™d lengthen it. An anorak pattern isnвЂ™t that original, but I like how it looks in a plaid boucle. This actually does look British, although itвЂ™s not retro. Who can keep those English speaking countries straight anyways? Burda apparently calls it вЂњOh so very BritishвЂќ.

If you remember from the preview last month, I called this lovely pic вЂњGrease extras with a wardrobe malfunctionвЂќ.

What? You donвЂ™t have dirndls and fabric pretzels at the top of your September sewing list? Fine, IвЂ™ll start with the (somewhat) normal stuff. If youвЂ™ve forgotten Burda is a German magazine, the Oktoberfest theme throughout the September should remind you.
