Welcome to the rabble from down in Southampton. You may want to announce yourself on the new members section so that we can give you a proper welcome. That said I am looking forward to seeing your progress on the jacket.

That does sound interesting. Don't forget to add a seam allowance. (as Burda patterns are known for being without them)

Can't wait to see a pic, or 20.

Welcome aboard X-Marks! It's lovely here.

I'll definitely be following your progress, as the Sheriffmuir is one of my favorite style of jackets.

And remember the general X-Marks rule...

I'm afraid you're behind the times. Any Burda pattern purchased in North America has had seam allowances included for some years now.

I believe that any produced for the European market will still be of the adding seam allowance type.

Just checked 2x patterns and they are "seam allowances included".
Assumed the problem was a N.A. problem, not a euro one.

Just uploaded pic of vest. Yes I know neckline has changed but decided it was better for use with cravat. Buttons may look copper but they are pewter.
Yours, Fergus.
