I have known Marfy for ages, because my sister is a seamstresser and she got many of their pattern collections at home. She doesn't buy the patterns, though, she just draws them sized to the "end user" after seeing the drawing on the book - well, it's her job after all! She told me, however, that if you know the basics of dressmaking and sewing it should be no problem in using the patterns, even if they do not give any instructions...

]]> Comment on Burda World of Fashion Magazine and How I Avoid Tracing AT ALL COSTS! by Robin Whittebaugh http://kissmystitch.com/2007/11/09/call-me-crazy-but/#comment-192 Robin Whittebaugh Tue, 22 Dec 2009 18:40:41 +0000 http://kissmystitch.com/2007/11/09/call-me-crazy-but/#comment-192 I love Burda WOF and still subscribe even though I don't have much time to sew now. I don't mind tracing and bought several rolls of the tissue paper used by doctors for their exam tables at a local medical supply place. The paper is transparent enough to see through, but has some substance to it so doesn't tear easily and one roll has a lot of paper on it. My husband actually added a roller to the edge of my cutting table (works like a paper towel roller) and I just roll the tissue paper over the pattern page to copy it. It's easy to read the lines through it and I can copy a pattern in a jiffy. I love Burda WOF and still subscribe even though I don’t have much time to sew now.
