Even though we get new Burda patterns every month through the magazines, the Fall/Winter pattern collection is still one of my sewing highlights every year. And this year my wallet is already crying, because these patterns are so good! I’ve been less than impressed with the fall releases we’ve had so far, but I can … More Burda Fall/Winter 2018 Pattern Collection
I’ve been super busy getting the last of my costume orders finished for this skating season, but I really needed to take a break, so I found some time to get this Burda review up. The McCall’s Early Fall collection also just dropped, so look for my take on that coming later next week. I … More August 2018 BurdaStyle Magazine
I can’t remember a time when I’ve raved about both the June and July issues of BurdaStyle Magazine. Since I’ve started these reviews (in 2011) I’ve often found one of the summer issues to be outstanding and the other to be a total disappointment. But 2018 seems to be the Year of Burda, because even … More July 2018 BurdaStyle Magazine
This year it looks like Burda is publishing a special accessories issue, at least in Germany. I’m not sure how easy it will be to acquire this magazine, or put together the patterns if it is only published in German, but I figured the content was at least worth a look… I haven’t quite figured … More BurdaStyle Accessories 2018

I hadn’t originally included this dress as part of my spring Sew Geeky plans, but, then again, I hadn’t originally planned on attending a wedding during this time frame either. This was sort of a last minute look, but I thought I might as well incorporate it into my Spring Sew Geeky capsule, even though, … More Pattern Review: BWOF-03-2007-126 (Spring Sew Geeky)
The May BurdaStyle Magazine announcement is up, and at the risk of sounding like a broken record, I’m really excited! Burda has been killing it this year – and May looks to be no exception. I especially love that they’ve really brough May back to being “the dress issue” – there are an overwhelming number of … More BurdaStyle May 2018
The latest issue of BurdaStyle Magazine is here! Early previews left me very unexcited for April, but now that the full preview is posted, I’m obsessed with some of the new patterns. The Burda Plus section is especially strong this month as well. Burda’s been on a roll so far this year, and it looks … More April 2018 BurdaStyle Magazine
The German Burda website has announced the Spring/Summer Burda Plus Magazine! Happily, they’ve done the work for me an announced that many of the patterns are from the June 2016, July 2014, and November 2014 issues, which I’ve already reviewed. So today I’m just going to look at the 8 new looks that will be … More Burda Plus Spring/Sumer 2018
The Pattern Review Wardrobe Contest is in the home stretch! I’ve finished the topper, tops, and now my first of two bottoms! This Burda pattern has been in my stash for quite a while, but really came on my radar when I saw Mimi G.’s version several years ago. I really liked these pants because … More Pattern Review: Burda 7195 (Sew Geeky Spring/Wardrobe Contest Item #5)
