I began my Burda suscription over seven months ago but I kept putting off trying it because the tracing looked scary. I kept reading other people comment on how easy (or not that bad) the tracing was. So this week I finally decided to take the plunge and am using my very first Burda pattern. I tried it, and guess what? It really wasn't so bad after all. I don't know why I had been so intimidated all this time.
So here's what I making. I only needed a few of my drafting tools. And voila!
Monday Meditation
Yesterday, we studied the Book of John chapter 9 where Jesus gave sight to the man who had been born blind. When the religious leaders asked the man who opened his eyes, he told them about Jesus. They became so bothered by his response that they cast him out of the church. When Jesus heard about what happened, He went to find the man and made him "whole" through salvation. Jesus goes on to say that it was those with natural sight who were really blind.
Sometimes people will ask you about your faith, and when you share with them the Lord Jesus Christ they will often become angry and dismiss you, discredit you, and cast you out of their circles. But once our eyes have been opened to the truth we must continue to stand on our belief that Jesus is the way, the truth and the life. When all others have turned their backs on us because of our faith in Christ, He will come to us and comfort us.
Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when he had found him, he said unto him, Dost thou believe on the Son of God? John 9:35

I'm glad to hear you've taken the Burda World of Fashion Plunge! I hope your first attempt is a success. Even if it isn't, don't give up. Try again. If we had been able to get together while you were here, I would have talked your ear off about BWOF! If I can "cyber help" feel free to ask.
Good luck with your first bwof!!
thank you Tracey. I've recently had this experience after sharing my faith and it has been hard. I appreciate the nudge forward!
Fabric Row is great. Isn't it? Karen (Sewing by the Seat of My Pants) took me there last March. I only had about an hour and half to shop, but that was good enough to check out Philly textile district. I know how you feel about BWOF. I've had a subscription since November 2007 but haven't sewn one thing from the patterns. Soon I will take the plunge. Right now I have too many things cut..., you wouldn't believe it! Look forward to seeing your first BWOF pair of pants.
