  • Pattern Review: Burda 6749+ the perfect T-Shirt

    March 11, 2017 / 2 Comments

    I’d like to keep track of all my ” TNT” patterns on the blog in some way.  TNT stands for tried and true, and in the spirit of classic, well fitting garments, I will try to identify which patterns work with my normal flat pattern adjustments.  If I have to recreate the pattern in every way, the pattern itself wouldn’t be a TNT, in my opinion, but rather a base for your own pattern.
