It inspired me to begin sewing again and I searched for a pattern on the online part of a local shop here in Chester, UK. I came across Burda 7659 and just thought I’d see if anybody had sewn it and I could read their review and your review popped up! I loved the garments you have shown in your blog and feel more confident that this pattern will suit me. I want it for the summer on holiday. I loved your tee, trousers and cardi on your blog. It is a lovely smart but relaxed style. You have inspired me to get sewing again! I have recently stopped working and now have lots more time to be self indulgent!!!! Looking forward to more of your blogs……..FranzVonRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01484716105606633133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2217930603555334551.post-58967770218749837992012-07-31T07:59:39.460-04:002012-07-31T07:59:39.460-04:00Hi Marjorie! thank you - so glad you found me!

Like Valerie from Sydney, I live down under (Brisbane) and I too have had this pattern in my stash plus fabric and haven't gotten around to making it.Thank-you, you have inspired me to get it all out of my cupboard and to start sewing. I love your fabric and it looks perfect for hot summer weather. Come October, this dress will be very handy for our hot summer days. Also thanks for your tips on making this dress and I will gladly leave the zipper out. I will now sit back and enjoy reading your other posts on your blog.Marjoriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09491386020542209322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2217930603555334551.post-87697909854552249782012-07-30T20:09:27.834-04:002012-07-30T20:09:27.834-04:00How wonderful!

I used a white linen with embroidered navy blue flowers and then added navy piping around the yoke and armholes. I was using a fabric remnant and was short on the length a bit so added a navy linen band around the bottom, too. It looks fabulous and I get complements on it every time I wear it. I, too, eliminated the back zipper. I'm definitely making this one again!Alan and Leslie Moyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08489415202309374872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2217930603555334551.post-52743798919969363762012-06-30T13:08:27.272-04:002012-06-30T13:08:27.272-04:00OMG..it was that or me and the violin!OMG..it was that or me and the violin!Cocohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13784505178222083364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2217930603555334551.post-81088496556124774612012-06-30T09:26:43.302-04:002012-06-30T09:26:43.302-04:00This is lovely!

I've had this pattern for a long time and will now definitely sew it! Without the zipper! With the arm facings! You've reminded me i really need to consider more as I sew and change some of the elements that could be better. Thank you, Coco!
