TinaBurda 8/2005 Pant design
Hi, if you get the Burda Magazine, there is a great pant waistband treatment in the 8/2005 issue that I am sewing....Using slim fit pant, 20% stretch factor for the fabric, and played with the shape of the leg a little. Took out some in the inner leg so I could have a tighter fit.....there are two bands totally about 3 inches wide down from the waist with 2 large button tabs in front.

TinaI subscribed to it about a year ago and find that every month they have a pattern I want to copy....so I overlay it onto a DS pattern that is close in design.....

Carolyn BrownI subscribed to this magazine a few years ago, but didn't like the styles at the time. Now I have changed my mind. I put it on my birthday list, but didn't get it, so I guess I'll have to buy it myself.
There has been a lot of discussion elsewhere about a twist tee in the April(?) issue. Too late for that one, too.

TinaYes, I like that one, too and it is also on my list to make....good design if not too top heavy.

CherylgI use to find Burda at Pages for All Ages...but you had to get there early in the month. That is the only bookstore I could find it in....so I subscribed. I am feeling a little like the step child....I haven't gotten August's mag. yet. :-( Cheryl

LaurasewsI made the twist top and am wearing it now with my new slim fit capris made using the new crotch extension formulas. I think it looks rather nice. Burda WOF has had some great styles lately.

TinaLaura, did you use a DS pattern as your basis?

InspiredSewingCarolyn, I'm positive McCall's and Burda had the twist top pattern in their store catalogues, but I don't see it on their websites. Look in the store catalogues before the Fall books come out. It is a top with an empire line and the upper bust portion has a long extension which crosses and twists with its counterpart then gets stitched into the empire line and side seam.
Nancy, Burda is now published completely in English - magazine text and pattern instruction insert. The pattern pieces are overlaid on each other with different colours and line styles. It looks a mess at first but is easy once your get your eye trained. There are no seam allowances.
