Copy Paper with DinA4 Print:

The pattern pieces are printed with a narrow border onto 24 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:

Cut the pattern lines at the marked lines.

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

Selvage (-----) 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 selvage 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.

If fabric is not folded , pin the pattern pieces to the right side.

If fabric is folded , pin the pattern pieces with the right side of the fabric facing inside. Pin pattern pieces

on wrong side.

Place cutting plan over the selvage, finally, cut with fabric not folded.

Seam and Hem Allowances are included in the pattern:

4 cm (1 ½ inches) Seam and 1.5 cm ( 1/2 inch ) at all other edges and seams.

Cut Fabric Folded:

Fold the fabric in half lengthwise ; the right side is facing inside. The selvage lines

Are facing each other. Pin pattern piece 1, as depicted in the copy paper, onto the wrong side of the fabric.

Cut pattern pieces.

Sometimes it is necessary to fold the fabric’s edges toward the selvage. This way, you get two selvages, to

which you can pin skirt pieces and the front facing.

Marking

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

pattern pieces, for example the selvage lines and the horizontal lines. This is easiest using 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.

Interfacing

Cut interfacing according to drawing on left and iron onto the wrong side of the fabric.

Sewing

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