I also really like that the hood appears to be lined, and how high the zipper goes for added neck warmth on the windy days. This looks like a really simple pattern to sew, but it also looks really cozy and warm for the winter. I really like the hood and the in-seam pockets though. I sort of want to love it, but I sort of also know I would never wear it out of the house. The jury is still out on the Muppet chic vibe happening on the right. #112 – I love this jacket! Well, I love it in the more technical looking puffer quilted fabric. The front button placket closure is also actually really cool! It’s definitely a lot of look, but I think it gives off a super high-end and really cool vibe. I really love the detail that Burda added to the orange-red version with the striped trim and hardware details. #111 – I think this jacket looks pretty cool. If I wasn’t already planning on making an amazing Harry Potter robe, I’d definitely be adding this to my long list of patterns I want to get to someday. I love the pipping detail, and the giant pockets (great for carrying around phones and other things).

#109 – Burda didn’t give us a full piece of sleepwear this December (nor did they give us a bunch of party looks… which is frankly a little bizarre for them), but they did give us one house robe pattern, which I actually think is pretty great.

Plus – imagine this in an amazing red jacquard or gold silk or even in sequins! It could be a real show-stopping piece for a holiday look, while having the added benefit of having a very adjustable waistband!
I also really love the fabric Burda used, which is slightly swaying me here, but I think this could be a nice layering piece, especially for those of us who aren’t dealing with the coldest climates heading into winter. I really like how dramatic the sleeves are, and I really like the hip-length of the robe. Had I the time, I’d make all three of these, despite their similarities, because they are all fantastic! Also, in-seam pockets for the win! I think this coat is a perfect blend of practicality and style, and it is definitely going on my list! I do think it has some similarities to styles we’ve had in the past (here’s looking at you December 2016 #102 and December 2012 #104), but I sort of don’t care. #116 – Yes please! I really love the fit and flare silhouette of this coat, and I also think the asymmetric button detail is really fun! The high collar is super practical for very cold winters, and I’m sort of obsessed with the idea of making this in a pretty bouclé like Burda did. I also think Burda did a great job of styling and fabrication – I especially love the blue floral version! #113 – This blazer is super cute! I really like the streamlined shape and the tiny double welt pocket detail that helps to define the waist. Let’s jump in and take a look.įirst up, there are a lot of jackets and robes in this issue: While I don’t think this issue is quite as good as the November edition, I do think there are some good things coming in December.
