I'll play it again.... will you?

More themes are up! (Thanks Mena) I really like the idea of revisiting a pattern....

I'm thinking about another Colette Peony.... (I already have 2 Colette Crepes and 2 Colette Gingers, can I do a re-revisit? tee hee) this time in a smaller bodice but with a Full Bust Adjustment.

Have you decided to revisit a pattern? Have you made something you like so much you'd like another or do you want to make alterations?

Good idea. I have a german Burdastyle sewing book, but it's a complete difrent book, no patterns just general information about fabric and pattern alternations.

Great idea, because I have a set of Burda magazines from 2000 & 2001. I was eyeing the pattern for a pair of wide-legged linen trousers the other day that should be just the challenge I need.

No suggestion, you could wear a bin liner and still look great!

Don't say no untill you tried it, I have fond memories of playing the paper bag princess in kindergarten. :-)

I made a updated version out of shopping bags for a heros-of-your-childhood-party ( I usually find an excuse to dress up ;-)

Maybe there should be unusual material challenge :-)

Lucky me had a Burda pattern sent to me in the patternswap, so I'm going to use that and make a dress for Christmas.

I'm excited too. I love having time to plan and order fabric if needed. I've got my pinup stuff ready to cut out and get started. I'm doing short pink ruffle fabric shorts and a matching Alabama Stitch Book corset top so more hot sleepwear pinup then throw back pinup. That's just more what pops into my head when I think pinup. That and tiny little low cut sailor outfits but I really don't need one of those.

I don't have the Burda Handbook so I may make something out of the magazine and call it close or I may just keep working on my jeans and bombshell dress that week. I'm going to do the revisit though it may not be exciting as what I really need around here are more basic winter tops so I'll probably revisit a tee pattern with some work on the arms.
