Burda Style Pattern B6490 Women’s Soft Drape Jackets

With Burda Style Pattern B6490, you can sew a modern women’s outfit with plenty of possibilities. Make a soft-drape jacket, tailored trousers, or a matching top — or combine them for a complete look. It’s a flexible dressmaking pattern that gives you a great basis for a handmade wardrobe.

The pattern is clearly laid out and, thanks to its easy level, is suitable even if you are newer to sewing. The illustrated instructions guide you step by step, while handy symbols such as grainline and pattern number help you stay organised when cutting and making up your pieces.

You’ll also find useful information for each garment, including length, fabric consumption and fabric recommendation. Burda additionally includes notes on seam and hem allowances, so you can get started on planning your project with confidence.

This pattern works best in soft, fluid, non-stretch fabrics such as viscose, linen or cotton fabric. That kind of fabric lets the relaxed yet feminine shape drape beautifully. If you are looking for fabric by the metre for a timeless sewing project, this is a lovely choice.
