Book Description

Nov 1 2011
   If you’ve ever made your own clothes, you know how empowering it can be. That awesome skirt in a fabric you adore. The blouse that fits perfectly. The one-of-a-kind dress you just knew would look cuter with a few extra details at the neck and hem. All made by you. 
   Creating fashionable, custom-fitted clothing is often much easier than you think, and in their first book, BurdaStyle—the largest community of aspiring fashion designers and style-savvy sewers—will show you how. Packed with easy-to-follow tutorials, five adaptable sewing patterns for a skirt, blouse, dress, coat, and bag, and fifteen step-by-step sewing projects, this book gives you the basic building blocks to begin sewing and the tools you need to move beyond the basics to designing and customizing your own wardrobe. 
   If you’ve never threaded a needle before, you’ll find essential information on setting up a studio, using your sewing machine and other tools, working with patterns, and getting the perfect fit. For experienced sewers, the book offer tips and tricks for mastering techniques, as well as tons of design inspiration from seventy-eight BurdaStyle members from all over the world. With its unique blend of fashion, creativity, and expert know-how, The BurdaStyle Sewing Handbook is the ultimate guide to sewing with style.

5.0 out of 5 stars Burda Style in a book! Feb 15 2012
By Nancy
Format:Hardcover-spiral
This book has a basic blouse, dress, coat, and handbag. There are 3 detailed variations of each that actually pattern remakes (not just shortening a sleeve or lengthening a hem) There are also multiple pictures of additional styles that you can create, although no instructions for those. The styles are up to date and wearable. Patterns are included as well as lots of sewing tips and techniques. Even though I am an experienced sewist, I have gleaned a lot from this book. I love this book!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Burda Style Sewing Handbook Dec 19 2011
Format:Hardcover-spiral|Amazon Verified Purchase
I am in LOVE with Burda patterns! I wanted this book originally for the free patterns included. Inside are pictures of different spins other designers took on the classic patterns. If you lack imagination or just need a kick start, this is the book for you. It outlines classic stitches and techniques with how-to's. This book has a more modern appeal that other sewing books that I own, it was worth the purchase.
