Need help finding Burda pattern instructions in English

[bunjies]

I live in France and bought a Burda pattern thinking it would have the instructions in English (as the front cover had English translations on it) but when I opened it they're not . Does anyone know where I could download/find the English version online? I've emailed Burda but haven't heard anything yet. I'm a complete novice so I can't just look at the pattern and work out what to do unfortunately. It's pattern 8365.

Hope someone can help.

I don't know but as far as i recall burda don't include allowances so you have to add them in

i think burda patterns are quite hard to follow anyway!

make sure you lay the pattern pieces straight to the weave/selvedge

check you cut the right number of pieces and have folds in

transfer any pattern markings

cut it out

what is it?

Thanks for the advice - it's a very basic pair of straight leg trousers from their Start range (i.e. for complete beginners). Not having a very good start myself though...

how many pattern pieces?

does it have a waist band

It's in French? If so, I can probably translate. I've found webpages for translating knitting terms before.

The instructions come in German, French, Dutch, Italian, Spanish, Swedish, Danish & Suomi but not English!! The thing is I could probably use an online translator but it's such a pain. There are only 3 pattern pieces, 2 legs and a waistband. I'm sure it's really easy to put together but being a complete beginner with these things I need the instructions.

BTW what's the selvedge? Told you I was a novice!
