Stick with the Burda patterns. Once you get onto how to use them, you will love them. They always have very nice styles and the fit is good on them. I usually make paper pattern pieces in my size so that it is not too confusing. Do all your adjustments for waist length and whatever other adjustments you need before cutting out the patterns. I always keep the main pattern page without cutting into it so that I have it to keep for another outfit. Read over the instructions as many times as you need to so that you understand the sequence of sewing before you even start. I just finished sewing some baby outfits for two new grand-children and they turned out very well. These particular outfits weren't very complicated but I have made some of their more complicated designs and had good luck with them, Do read the pattern pieces carefully as they seem to put a lot of important information right on the pattern. Take it step by step and you will do fine!!
