Burda 2/11, #106
Second One
JustGail asked about my son in a comment on a post a last week, regarding his tooth situation so I thought I'd update you. He is doing much better. Once we had that tooth removed, the healing progressed very quickly and now you can hardly tell that there was anything wrong in there at all. Well, there is a big hole where the tooth was, but an adult tooth will come in soon enough. Thanks Gail, for asking.
I've finished up the second Burda t-shirt and I like it a lot better! The length is better both at the bottom hem and sleeves and that was the main thing that needed changing. I was constantly pulling down the t-shirt at the hem when wear-testing the first version, so this is much better.
While not an exciting pattern, it is a good basic pattern. I'll get a lot of wear from this one and should probably make more in other colors. It is getting to that point in the winter where I'm tired of black and white and need colors to perk things up!
Tomorrow: The start of Anthropologie knock-off, which hopefully will be more exciting than a t-shirt!
Parting Shot: Bonus. My daughter liked my fingerless gloves so much that she wanted a pair. Not exactly like mine, of course. She's twelve and you know she can't have anything exactly like mom's. She picked out a pattern from Knitpicks, and I found enough leftover yarn to knit them up. I even found enough so that she'd have her choice of two colorways. She chose the yarns below, leftover from socks.

I like the longer version much better, too.
I think both shirts look great but it is a lot about comfort so I am glad you were able to work out the fit/style issues.
I can't wait to see what Anthro garment you will knock off. I know you will find it great fun. Their clothing is quite inspirational. Was it something you saw "live" or on line?
Both of your shirts turned out nice. Even tho the first one may feel short, it also looks very stylish and pretty.
I agree with the feelings on black and white garments this late in winter-you just want some COLOR this close to spring! I like the tees, but I think making this one a scoch bigger was a good idea-the first one JUST fit and as soon as you wash it half a dozen times you won't be able to wear it again.
Glad your son is feeling better. I really like the second version of your t-shirt.
I like this one better too! And you can tuck it in your jeans or skirt, if you wish.
I always have to add an inch above the waist when tracing Burda patterns and even so, some of the tops are too short if I forget to add some additional length to the hem
