Just like the YCMI program BurdaSyle labels this pattern a level 2 or 2 threads out of 4 for someone who has some sewing experience. The pattern is well drafted and goes together pretty quickly. The only change I made to this pattern was to add 3 inches to the length.

For the most part I followed along with the program so it was a breeze to make. My only changes was that I inserted the zipper a little differently and that is because I can not find 1/4 inch basting tape here. I did not use the selvedge edge of the fabric as a finish for the waistband, I used my serger to finish the inside and I used a double turned hem.
I was not able to find a fabric that had a one design which this level called for so just went with a print and treated as a one way design.

| Pressing over my ham for shaping |
Pressing the shaped side seams is not something you will find in the YCMI program, this is just some knowledge I have gained over the years with sewing.

I wasn't able to get the notions I needed when I went for the fabric, I ran out of time so I just went with what I had on hand.

Again there is a lot more to this level than what you see and I do recommend it for anyone who is not able to go out and take a class, needs something explained in a very clear way or needs to it done a few times before trying. Now on to level 3

Until next time, happy sewing...
