burda plans for october

I've been receiving the Burda magazine for almost two years and it's been a revelation. I love my Burdas. I've found that I make patterns I wouldn't normally choose, and that I almost always end up loving them. I am relatively confident in the fit, and don't even mind the tracing process now that I have a roll of medical exam paper.

I've been really trying to do the Burda of the Month Challenge -- sewing up a pattern from the current issue before the month is up. I actually didn't for September because nothing in the magazine really grabbed me. There was a nice blazer, but September is so crazy at work that I knew it wasn't the right time for a big project.

October, however... what a fantastic issue! There are four things I want to make right now:

I am thinking the lower right top or skirt might be first. I have fabric for both, just need to decide if on an easy or harder project.

There's no way I'll finish all this, but I also have my eye on a dress from last year's October issue. This is one of those dresses that I would hardly look at if it came out in a Vogue collection, but something about Burda has made me think about it for a solid year!

We'll see if anything comes of these plans.

Happy sewing!
