great episode. i luv burda i had been hesitate of printing off a pattern because i didn't know how they were suppose to fit tog. know that i know how to read the pattern i think i will try one.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. Patterns used to scare me! :D
HOLY AWESOME! This is brilliant for the pattern-challenged sewers, like myself. Burda Style answered SO many of my questions, thank you!
My parents think I'm crazy too, don't worry!
And lastly, killer prom dress Sweet Melody. Molly Ringwald would be very impressed.
ALL RIGHT! Threadbangers EVERY-FREKEN-DAY!!!!! OOHOOOO! Oh, the joy!
And thank you so much for this episode! It is SO downloaded!
This is episode is just what I needed to get the courage to make stuff from patterns!
And I'm super excited about next week.. Whee!
Is shirt Nora wearing from a burda pattern? I don't recognize it but I love it. :(
Erica - yes, the shirt I am wearing is from our site, but - it's now available for download yet. It'll be in a few weeks! It's a user design by the way....
Oops - I meant it's NOT available for download yet. Once I get back to New York, I will check the editorial calendar and tell you when!
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!! A show every single day?!?!?!?!? Wishes DO come true!!!!!!!!
I usually do pretty well with patterns anyway, but I'll definitely have to download some from Burda...thaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnkkkkk yoooouuu!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm sorry I'm using this space to rant, but I have to. Why are men so ignored in DIY? That sewing pattern tutorial would've been useful if any I could use any of the patterns on burda style. From the looks of it, everything in the compai books is for women, and the same goes for most other DIY books. This is starting to piss me off. I love DIY but I can't use most of what I find online.
i have the t shirt and jean compai books, they do have a couple of dude things but not a lot.(I wouldn't suggest buying them there are only one or two)... and another book that has a couple of patterns would be the orange one ummmm, can't remember the name they have metioned it on here tho........ sry tho, i feel 4 ya......
Thanks for the sympathy. Hopefully, this one meager comment will help spur the long overdue men's DIY fashion revolution.
As I fellow male, I feel your pain. I find that the way for me to bear it, is to take the *ideas* behind a lot of the stuff for the ladies, and transfer those to something for myself. FYI, the diy sweater the Compai ladies made... you could make a really cool military-inspired vest for guys in a similar way... I guess it just means we fellas have to be that little bit more creative. :)
FYI is supposed to be "For example". My brain isn't working. Blah.
Thanks. Now if I only liked anything military inspired.
Not to sound rude but did you ever think that doing something about it rather then complaining might be a lot better?
It was just example... it doesn't have to military inspired.
WOMEN came up with WOMEN diy that you find online! Thats why when you look it up, it's mostly girl stuff. That's the point. Girls shouldn't need to make up stuff for dudes, why would we do that? COME UP WITH YOUR OWN! You like DIY so much, why is it so hard to figure it out on your own?
harsh!!! even fron a womens point of view. i kinda agree with the guys. there really isn't alot of diy for guys. maybe threadb could start a weekly show for guys likethey do with home decor. the guys could submit cool diy ideas they have the show and whola!! a new show just for guys. maybe it could be man monday. ok so thats not great but u get the idea.
Ok, so it was a little harsh. But I mean, come on! You can't feel sorry for the boys! Why are they saying that they like DIYing, but have to complain about not being able to copy the shows ideas for themselves? Theres plenty of shows that yes, are for girls, but can be modified a bit to be for guys! Use your imagination!! Thats the point of DIY, am I right?
Hey Albert - we are posting our first men's pattern this week! Actually, today, Monday!
Yeah, I'm with you. I mean, I can understand the frustration when all the tutorials etc are aimed at the ladies, but the basics of DIY is universal... Don't feel sorry for us guys, because if we're truly worth the salt, we can take the ideas and make our own stuff. Heaps of the women's stuff that have come up on Threadbanger have given me great ideas of what to do for a guy's version. It's all about using the noggin!
Man... I wish there was an "edit" button for these... I always forget to proof read...
Definitely, we have more and more men's patterns on our site, come and check out BurdaStyle.com
horayyyy, I LOVE IT! I used a burda style pj pattern this summer and they turned out so CUTE! i'm so exited! im going over to the Burda Style website right now!!!!
Loved this! Really helped me out with patterns, thank you!!
thankyou so much! i never thought my question would ever get chosen, thousands of people ask questions and i got chosen, thank you!
I have heard people tell me that you could never ask too many questions, so i was wondering if you could please, show an episode on how to sketch fashions! so many people out there have no idea how to sketch, i need some starters, thanks!
grainlines... is the way the fabric is weaved so it is along with the selvedge... the selvedge is the edge of the fabirc that is tightly woven. i think that is a better explanation...no?
Thanks - we are not native speakers and sometimes we suffer from lack of words, your explanation is super!
still a bit confused on the patterns but it okay it was still a great episode im totally stoked for next weeks every day episode this is the best spring break ever!!!!
Threadbanger everyday? Sweet! curleq94 asked how to sketch fashion plates. Hmm...I may be able to help you out threadheads...
really, i have been sketching for a year but i still cant make it look professional!
Hey Rob and Corrine , On you tube i'm "Paperclipfrezy" i was wondering if you guys show on how to make leg warmers?? I've been wanting to make some for myself for-ever and it would be awesome to wear my own created leg-warmers!!
There's a leg-warmers how-to in the Stitch Fashion Show eppy, page 2 of the vid archives. :-P
Hey, does threadbangers have a mailing address where I can send them something I made?
Megan, you're brilliant,..thanks to you my very handsome husband is enjoying the outdoors inddors and loves it. He's an outdoorsman and looks terrific in his lumberjack shirt next to my new curtain rods. Fantastic! You need to come to Pittsburgh and get your message out. Where would we be without the internet. Many thanks.
Umm, love you guys, love the show but why is there a movie ad? Weird!
HELP. im patching up a pair of pants with a huge rip from the upper thigh to the bottom of the belt loop part for my brother and i realized i only know how to do funky, bold, really feminin patches. i doubt he'd want a bright pink heart across his butt, so for his sake please help.
corinne, you have beautiful brunette hair, but you have never worn it down, I think all the viewers are with me on this one, wear your hair down! I bet its gorgous!

I see your videos and i loved them all I was just thinking would you make a video of trench-coats I LOVE to learn to do that, plainly I would love to do any fashion DIY or PRO couture!!!

Thanx Rob and Corrine! I love your show. This comment is kind of out of the subject, but m now entering medical school, and everyone in our class needs lab coats. Our proffesor gave us the price, but $40 dollars i think is a little much. I was wondering if you guys could do a tutorial on how to make a white lab coat !!
plese, plese, pleeese
Hello,
I just found this website and of coarse it rocked my world! I am crazy about sewing and creating. I feel that self expression is one of the most important things in life. Unfortunately it may not be so easy for most of us out there to express ourselves with the clothes that corporations provide us with. So I encourage everyone to support small businesses, boutiques, and creating your own style any way possible.
Thank you so much for this site.
-JMM-
Ps: There is a pattern book by Injoo Kim that is really great and easily understood. There is also a book called The Art of Manipulating Fabric by Coelette Wolf.
WOOHOO! Israel!!!
Yay, other people from Israel are also tuning in! I AM NOT ALONE!!!
i remember when patterns used to scare me. if only i had this video then!
