In honor of finally being finished with sewing skating costumes for regionals (the nationals pile is still quite high, but I’ll get there soon enough), I’m actually *gasp* writing a post. I’ve still got a bit of an E6000 high going on from gluing the rhinestones, so you’ll hopefully forgive me if I’m a bit … More BurdaStyle Magazine July 2016
The June issue of the Burda magazine has been announced (and shipped! – mine just showed up today). I’ve been a bit luke-warm towards Burda lately, but I have to admit I really like this issue. I think there are some really nice designs here. I’m also excited to see that Burda has used the … More June 2016 Burdastyle Magazine
The full preview for the May Burda has been up on the Russian site for a few weeks now… but I haven’t been feeling particularly inspired to blog about it. Usually May is the month of the fun spring dresses, but this year if feels as though we are already fully into loose fitting summer … More May 2016 BurdaStyle Magazine
So I am incredibly far behind on posting recent pattern releases – I’ve got Simplicity, Vogue, McCall’s, and Burda Easy Magazine in the queue. I’ve also been incredibly busy – so no idea when those posts will actually show up. Not to mention a pattern review that needs to get written. Between work, work, more … More April 2016 BurdaStyle Magazine
The latest issue from Burda is here! As is traditional, March is the wedding issue, which means lots of dresses and formal looks. Interestingly, this year Burda has mixed the Burda Plus styles in with the traditional sizes in the wedding shoot, which is pretty awesome. There isn’t a lot of variety in this issue, … More March 2016 BurdaStyle Magazine
So the full preview for the February Burda is here. And you can watch the German promotional video too. After the awesome magazines we’ve been getting the past few months I’d hoped the trend would continue… But, sadly, no. The February issue is full of a mostly dull assortment of boxy silhouettes. I will say … More February 2016 BurdaStyle Magazine
Looking back, I have to say that, on the whole, this felt like a rather lackluster year for Burda. Every issue had at least one pattern I really liked, but, honestly, there were very few issue where I wanted to make many of the garments, and most of the things I did want to sew … More A Year in Review: BurdaStyle Magazine 2015
It looks like Burda is continuing the trend of awesome issues into the new year! The magazine has a nice selection of easy to sew loungewear and lovely tailored pieces, as well as a decent Burda Plus section, and some fairly cute kids costumes. First up, the coats and jackets, which are absolutely awesome in … More January 2016 BurdaStyle Magazine
The full preview for the December Burda is here! And I have to say I’m excited, because it’s good. Deliciously good. I think it has the perfect blend of fun holiday party wear, interesting winter staples, and gifts for the family. After having a rather lackluster year, Burda is going out with a bang. First … More December 2015 Burda Style Magazine
Burda has definitely been on an upswing the past few months, and I think November is another solid issue. I don’t think there are any really outstanding pieces, but there is a nice mix of tailored pieces, draped knits, and fancy and casual styles for the winter season. Definitely have to give a nod to … More BurdaStyle Magazine November 2015
