I'm contemplating quitting the big 4 completely because BWOF sizing is actually *gasp* somewhat accurate! I also find that I can alter the patterns into almost anything once I've got the basic blocks from BWOF.Laurenhttp://grillooriginals.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-261788836452421437.post-80493946531194204672009-03-02T20:14:00.000-08:002009-03-02T20:14:00.000-08:00I sew quite a bit from BWOF magazines.

If you aren't sure, maybe purchase one issue and give it a try.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the comment on my McCall's jacket and to answer your question, I really like my jacket. You should make it, great jacket.Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04229406683301436266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-261788836452421437.post-31609829370780449582009-03-01T18:20:00.000-08:002009-03-01T18:20:00.000-08:00Thank you so much for you input ladies, I really a...Thank you so much for you input ladies, I really appreciate it!

I've always liked Burda patterns, though and these are drafted off the same blocks. After seeing the great stuff that PR reviewers have made, I've started making them. I've made a small deal with myself to sew at least 12 garments out of it this year (not necessarily one from each issue). $80/12=less than $7. It's a lot more manageable when you look at it that way :-) I also have put a copy of the line drawings of each issue in a binder, and more recently, I scanned those into pdf files so I can refer to them while I'm online or away from my notebook. Why not buy a couple of issues before you commit? Usually larger bookstores carry them.meredithphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17683287411020125224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-261788836452421437.post-71823613586338876482009-03-01T11:38:00.000-08:002009-03-01T11:38:00.000-08:00So, funny, but I went through this same dilemma in...So, funny, but I went through this same dilemma in March of LAST year. I have sewn with BWOF almost exclusively since then. You should check out the early BWOF posts on my blog. I wrote down a lot of tips and tricks I learned early on. Good luck!!! It really *is* worth it if you plan on making 2-3 garments per issue.Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11099128922590283342noreply@blogger.com
