As you may already know i've had quite a long relationship with BurdaStyle. I've worked with them since the beginning which was over 3 years ago and still love the site now as much as i did back then. To have been part of their team and contribute to the growth of the site and community has been amazing and i'm now pleased to announce that i will be part of their book!
The book aims to be a combination of coffee table book and creative outlet. Our pages will inspire and incite readers to push their sewing skills and continue creating! Much like the BurdaStyle online community, the book will be a comprehensive sewing resource, featuring fantastic, easy-to-understand projects, sewing creations made by our talented members, an extensive glossary of key sewing terms and much more. We are excited to offer this book to sewing enthusiasts and interested observers alike.
The book’s publication, set for 2011, releases five brand new BurdaStyle patterns designed by our creative director, Alison Dahl Kelly (Dahl by Kelly, Project Runway). The patterns enclosed will be high quality Burda patterns, with the fitting accuracy of over 60 years of experience. The concept of the book focuses on variations by made by select group of international community members and designers.I can't tell you what i'm working on for the book but here's a sneaky preview of the fabric i'm using for my project.
