Today is a public holiday in NZ and it’s windy, pouring with rain
and I’ve got a cold, so I can’t go diving.
Sounds like a good excuse to make a coffee and get my older
magazines out. I know that there are
several patterns that I have always wanted to get around to making.
I've been getting Burda regularly for about six years, but on and off
for a lot longer. My Oldest Burda? September 1989.
My oldest Burda is actually older than my oldest child!
Not all the
outfits would be out of place today.
These shorts from May 1991 are not fundamentally
different from what the younger set are wearing now. Although the
lingerie feature in the June 1990 issue did have a dated feel about it:
In terms of what would I like to sew now?
I loved this when the magazine came out in May 1991 and I still
do. Today I'd probably pick a different colour for the side panels,
rather than just a different texture, with a nod to the colour blocking trend,
but I would wear this as a top, or as a waistcoat in the cooler months.
