Burda Easy 2019/1

18/2/2020

 

A very nice modern, youthful Chanel-Style jacket!

Picture
Burda Easy 2019/1 is a special edition of the Burda. It is a magazine specially designed for the beginners. It has fewer patterns than the normal Burda, but the patterns are simpler and there is more text and utilization The radar sheets are also super 'easy'.

In this magazine: A Chanel-Style jacket! Let's start to sew!


Burda EASY 2019/1
Burda Easy 2019/1, is a half-long jacket. It can be used both indoors and outdoors. The recommended fabrics are: Wool, Bouclé, Tweed fabrics, garbadine and jeans. You will need buttons, lining and interfacing as well. You can buy the fringes but make them yourself, the same fabric is of course more beautiful and has more Chanel style!

Sewing level

The sewing level is Easy, which makes sense because the entire magazine is especially for beginners. However, we would like to point out that it is not that easy to sew with Bouclé fabric, especially if you are doing this for the first time.
Read our: Tips & Tricks: How do you sew with Bouclé fabrics?

We are happy with:
  • Easy level seems to be correct.  The instructions are clear and should not be a problem.
  • Wide shape, a great outdoor jacket
  • Suits almost every figure
  • A real eye-catcher!
  • The pattern invites you to add your own personal touch: fringes, trims etc.
  • Fantastic, and unique, Chanel jacket, selfmade !!!

We are not so happy about:
  • The model seems to be very wide. It certainly is not semi-fitted. It could easy look very 'bulky'
  • For a beginner, it is NEVER easy to work with Bouclé fabrics, do not underestimate it as a beginner, ask for help about the basics or look at our page: Sewing Bouclé fabrics
  • in Dutch: Hoe naai je met Bouclé stoffen
  • The sleeves are very tight under the armpits, it will work with a t-shirt or thin blouse,.  It will certainly give problems if you are expecting to wear the jacket above a sweater or woolen sweater.

We used this sewing pattern to create the same jacket with the same fabric. We quilted the lining as in Claire Schaeffer's "Couture cardigan jacket" book.  It makes the jacket comfortable and very luxurious.

Our result: a nice 'young looking' jacket to wear casual and especially (summer) outdoors.

Summarized:
The Chanel jacket in the Burda EASY 2019/1 is a very fun, modern and youthful jacket. It is nice and wide and super casual. However, it is not comfortable because the upper sleeves are very narrow. If you can get it adjusted,  you will have the best sewing pattern for a super nice Chanel-style jacket!
