This is the variation on the above topper, which adds some sleeve bands to make it more like a batwing jumper than a casual cape.

It could be that I’m swayed by the yellow colour ( looks down at the yellow sweatshirt she’s currently wearing…), but I really like this! It’s got a big, comfy cowl collar, big batwing sleeves, and a fitted waist, and I’d totally wear this with jeans or leggings! There’s a longer version with welt pockets in this issue, too!Īlong similar silhouette lines is this cape-like jumper/pullover/sweater/whatever. But the main difference is that while mine had the front slit openings, these use topstitching to create a sleeve channel, using the hem as your hand opening.
BURDA MAGAZINE SEPTEMBER 2016 PATCH
I’ve ended up picking a lot out of this one so grab a mug of something hot and settle on in…įirst up – a hooded cape! No points for guessing I’d like this one, considering I’ve literally just finished sewing up a Burda hooded cape! The construction on this one is pretty different to the 2010 pattern I used, though – the hood is only two pattern pieces instead of three, there’s an extra topstitched yoke facing, plus patch pockets, too. Overall, it’s been a fantastic year of Burda magazines, in my opinion, and I’m pleased to report that there’s no letup for the final issue of 2016. I know it’s a cliché, but my god, where did the year go? I mean, I know I basically lost the first three months of the year but still.
