Thanks Karen, I intend making this with that wool jersey, rayon jersey double cloth I got at Metro Textile on PR day, so I appreciate the translation.

Someone at Burda is asleep at the wheel. There have been a few errors like that recently on the website. Hopefully, they will catch them in the future.
