I'm assuming Burda are looking for a great design on that one piece rather than at what the designer is traditionally known for (that wasn't meant to imply that any of your designs were sub-par; gosh this is a delecate subject!)<br /><br />Just a thought.<br /><br />But congratualations anyway.

In fact, it came with the instructions in about 20 different languages. So just because the site's in German doesn't mean the patterns are! :D<br /><br />(their pattern downloads don't have seam allowances, but I muchly prefer mine that way!!)melissahttp://www.fehrtrade.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-36204653619211142762010-07-29T09:26:31.469-04:002010-07-29T09:26:31.469-04:00Hilarious!

A long...Hilarious! Thank you for this anecdote. <br /><br />A longtime Burda pattern user, I've given up on BurdaStyle and now use burdastyle.de to get all their downloadable patterns, since they have all the magazine and the formerly paper ones online now. Fjoelner.dk has downloadable English instructions for the main patterns, otherwise I read the French or Swedish instructions. Crazy, no? I wonder why they have stopped supporting their proper patterns in English. I find it baffling. The new German website is awesome.EJVChttp://ejvc.livejournal.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-52998904018659572602010-07-29T08:52:16.849-04:002010-07-29T08:52:16.849-04:00I made a coat variation and FedExed it last week. ...I made a coat variation and FedExed it last week. 3 to 5 business days worth of shipment, and I didn't want to run the risk of being too late.

Still--I'm eager to see your final design in the book; I think it'll trump all the other bags for "appealing to Casey"! lol. I'm also super excited that you're part of the project too!!! Too neat! :D<br /><br />Good luck beating the deadline; at least you're close enough to drop it off! I mailed mine last week and boy, was I glad to have the dress on it's merry way! lol.<br /><br />♥ Casey<br />blog | elegantmusings.comCaseyhttp://elegantmusings.comnoreply@blogger.com
