I have enjoyed collecting and keeping certain Vogue Designer patterns since I learned to sew 30 years ago, and would never part with any of them just for the inspiration/education they provide!Tia Diahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10622901192302670927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4840477980234593438.post-57985496470949602422013-01-16T16:59:55.994-05:002013-01-16T16:59:55.994-05:00Both very stylish garments.I love the shirt with t...Both very stylish garments.I love the shirt with the contrasting fabrics.pellahttp://patternpandemonium.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4840477980234593438.post-71789790139258482652013-01-14T20:22:13.517-05:002013-01-14T20:22:13.517-05:00You are SO adorable!

I'd thought of getting rid of some Burdas because I find it hard to keep track of all the patterns I have - looking through them (although I have the pattern overviews copied and in a binder) is overwhelming.

I regularly use older issues as well. <br />Your blouse (which looks like a copy of the pattern I'm using right now, another Burda pattern from 2010) is lovely, nice combination of fabrics. And a good interpretation of the pants.

I am currently considering letting my Burda magazine subscription lapse because I haven't been using it much lately - but on the other hand are all the pluses that you've mentioned! And their patterns definitely do fit children better than the big 4 patterns... <br /><br />Your new blouse is stunning - I love that fabric combination you've chosen and it looks ultra fashionable. Your trousers also look really good on you - and very stylish!
