Pattern Pieces

1 Front Piece

2 Back Piece

3 Sleeves

4 Bias/ Neck Line

Copy Paper with DinA4 Print:

The pattern pieces are printed with a narrow border onto 32 pages. Wait until all pages are printed. Arrange

the pages as depicted in the page with instructions on how to put the pages together.

Cut the pages at the upper right edge along the narrow border. Start with the lower left page and glue the

pieces together at the border lines.

Choose the size of the patter according to the Burda measurement chart. The sizes for dresses, Blouses,

Jackets and Coats are determined by the bust measurement, the sizes for pants and skirts are determined by

the hip measurement.

Adjust, if necessary, if your measurements differ from the Burda measurement chart.

Cut the pattern pieces for your size.

Lengthening or Shortening the Pattern

Our cut is designed for a height of 168 cm. (5 feet 5 inches). If you are taller or shorter, you can adjust the

pattern at the lines that say, “shorten or lengthen here”. That way, the fit remains the same.

⇒Always change all pattern pieces at the same line and the same length.

How to shorten or lengthen your pattern

Cut the pattern lines at the lines, marked for lenghtening/shortening your pattern

(To avoid changing the shape of the pattern piece, it helps to draw a line perpendicular to the marked line ,

now you can adjust the pattern by moving the pieces along the perpendicular line)

To lengthen: Push the pieces apart as far as necessary.

To shorten: Push the pieces together as far as necessary.

Adjust the side edges.

Cutting out

Fabric Fold(-----) means : This is the middle of a pattern pieces, not an edge or a seam. The piece is cut

twice the size of the pattern; the fabric fold is the middle axis of the piece.

The pattern pieces with interrupted outlines are placed onto the fabric with the printed side facing down.

The cutting plans show how to arrange the pattern pieces on the fabric.

Seam and Hem Allowances are included in the pattern:

1.5 cm (5/8 inch) at the hem and all other edges and seams.

Cut Fabric Folded:

Fold the fabric in half lengthwise, right side inside. The fabric fold lines lie atop each other. The selvages

meet. Pin the pattern pieces to the wrong side of the fabric as shown in copy paper. Cut pattern pieces.

The pieces that overlap the fabric fold on the copy paper should be cut last with the fabric not folded. Fold

apart the remaining fabric, right side facing up. Pin paper pattern pieces onto fabric and cut.

Marking

Before you remove the pattern pieces from the fabric, please draw all important markings and lines on the

pattern pieces, for example the grain lines, darts, and the horizontal lines. This is easiest with Burda tracing

paper and a tracing wheel (see instructions in package) or using pins and tailor’s chalk. Transfer the wrap

lines with batching stitches onto the right side of the fabric.

Sewing

When sewing, the right sides of the fabric are facing.

BLOUSE

1.) Pin chest darts and stitch each dart from

edge to the point. Iron the darts to the

bottom (1a).

Front Middle Seam/ Slit

Place front pieces onto each other right sides

facing, pin middle seam.

2.) Stitch middle seam from the slit mark

downward. Leave slit pinned. Trim seam

allowances and finish. De-baste basting

stitches at slit.

Shoulder Seams

3.) Place front piece right sides facing onto

back piece, stitch shoulder seams (seam

number 1). Trim seam allowances and

finish.

Neckline/Bias

⇒Trim seam allowance at neckline back to 1 cm

(3/8 inch) Fold bias into half lengthwise, wrong

side inside. Iron.

4.) Place seam allowances onto the slit. Pin

bias onto the neckline working from the

right, the upper edges are lying atop the

seam allowance. Stitch bias allowing 1

cm (3/8 inch). Trim seam allowances,

cutting in at curved edges.

5.) Iron the bias over the base seam. Fold

the bias over and pin. Stitch neckline

allowing 0.7 cm (1/4 inch).

Edging/ Neckline

Cut the two pieces for the sleeves from the

edging. Mark the middle at the remaining edging

(back middle)

6.) Turn slit seam allowances inside, pin.

Pin edging to the neckline and along the

slit edges leaving 1.2 cm (1/2 inch) of

space, placing the lace edging towards

the pleats at the edges. Stitch the edging

until you reach the horizontal marks,

taking in the slit seam allowances. Leave

the edging ends hanging, cut diagonally

at bottom. Sew slit seam allowances by

hand at the upper neckline.

Side Seams

7.) Place front piece right sides facing onto the

back piece, pin side seams (seam number

2) and stitch. Trim seam allowances and

finish.

Sleeves

8.) To put sleeve into place, stitch from dot

symbol to dot symbol twice with wide

stitches.

Pin edging onto the sleeves as marked and stitch

neatly. Fold sleeves lengthwise, right side inside.

Stitch sleeve seams (seam number 3). Trim seam

allowances and finish.

Lower Sleeve Edge

9.) Fold over and iron the seam allowance of

the lower sleeve edge. Stitch fabric fold

line with narrow zigzag stitches. Cut

overlapping seam allowance close to the

seams.

Tip: Do a test run with a piece of scrap

fabric. Test stitch and thread tension. Use

Machine or quilting thread.

Elastic Band

10.) Stitch on top of one elastic band coming

from the left front piece, going along the

marked lines with zigzag stitches, do not

take in the elastic band. Pull elastic band

lightly. Try on and test width, distributing

evenly. Tie bands and sew.

Setting in Sleeves

To set in the sleeves, pull bobbin thread of the

stitching lines lightly.

11.) Pin sleeves right on right into arm

opening.

When setting in sleeves, 4 points are

important for proper fit

⇒The horizontal marks (7) on sleeve and

bodice front must match. Sleeve seam and

side seam must match. The horizontal

mark on sleeve cap must match

shoulder seam. The gathering must be

distributed evenly. Working from the

sleeve side, baste sleeve to armhole edge

and stitch. Trim seam allowances. Finish

seam allowances and press toward sleeve.
