Burda 6465 'Modern and Folklore'

Burda 6465  is a sewing pattern 'Chanel-style jacket' with two variations in length and finish. We created Model B as a jacket for autumn.

Burda 6465

The Burda sewingpattern
is a sewing pattern of a short jacket (Model A) with fringes and a longer jacket (Model B) made of Loden fabric and finished with a piping. Model B is typically a jacket as it is often worn during Oktoberfest * in Germany. Especially the color, the finish and the fabric: loden is striking. Both models have princess lines, a round neck and sleeves that consist of two parts.

* = The Oktoberfest is a German festival and event that takes place on the Theresienwiese, a public place in the center of Munich. It's every year, from the end of September to the beginning of October. It's a big social event. People eat and drink a lot and there is a typical folkloric clothing style for men and women.

Recommended fabrics are: Model A: Bouclé, Model B: wool, Loden. You also need: shoulder pads, buttons, fringes or edges, bias tape, lining and interfacing.

Sewing level: average

The sewing pattern has been referred to as "averages". We agree with this. It is not a difficult jacket to make, but especially Model B: the princess lines trimmed with a piping, requires accuracy and experience from the seamstress.

Picture
We made the jacket out of brown thick cotton fabric (see below) and a silk lining with dots. The silk lining fabric is no longer for sale, but a nice alternative is next to the brown fabric: a beautiful mint-colored lining fabric. Our jacket is not really meant for the Oktoberfest, but we will definitely make it again. The jacket fits like perfect and has a beautifully tailored shape.

We will come back to Model A later. This short jacket is also ideal for making scraps of Bouclé fabric or as the ultimate upcycling project from existing jackets that can lead a different life as a slightly shorter jacket, made up of multiple types of fabric. The princess lines: smaller pattern parts are ideal for this.

Pros:
  • The sewing pattern (Model B) is very suitable for a seamstress who wants to try a little more with sewing techniques with regard to 'piping' or finishing seams with a piping.
  • Model B. is a nice jacket and suitable for Loden fabric. You don't find these kinds of sewing patterns. Usually you will only find long coats to be made from lead fabric.
  • Model B. can also function well as an outdoor jacket.

Cons:
  • Model B looks good in terms of shape and lines. However, it is not a comfortable jacket, mainly because Loden fabric is often thicker and stiffer.
  • Our Model B fits perfectly, but it is more of a chic jacket than a comfortable jacket. We think  the sewing pattern more as 'fitted' than 'semi-fitted'.

Possible adjustments:
With Model B you could make the piping in a contrasting color for a super nice effect. You can also omit the piping in its entirety, as we have done and go for a special lining.
Or completely Haute couture: make the piping in the same color as the lining.

Summarized:
Burda 6465 is a nice sewing pattern for the Chanel-style jacket (Model A) and a longer jacket for various clothing styles. The jacket looks great because of the lines, but is less comfortable, 'semi-fitted' would suggest...
